interesting its taken DJ a while to respond to the Sale today..they are usually pretty quick...although I was having some issues accessing their site this morning when trying to do a comparison..very slow and a number of time outs

Saw this when a colleague checked her e-mail at lunch (~5am Sydney time)...glad I did! I've been meaning to book my flights for the FlyerTalk AGM for a fortnight, but got lazy. Saved $62 by booking today.

Yeah, Virgin must be having issues getting their sales fare online. They usually react nearly immediately after QF. JQ also aren't on sale.

I am sure QF will be having a great day bringing in lost of sales...

There will be a Jetstar sale awfully soon, 28000 seats for $28 (Jetstar's Domestic Sale(s)) ea. Don't think Tiger are doing anything this week, and I think everyone at Virgin Blue is on holidays, especially since there was no Happy Hour today.

Just booked my Qantas flights from Sydney to Perth for $410.00 return, huge saving of about $160.00 and I even get a meal.

Still it's a lot of money when you consider that you can fly Los Angeles (LAX) to Manchester NH (MHT) round-trip for half that. It's about the same distance. Airfares are very expensive in Australia (just try getting out of it).

In a previous sale, I got; MEL-PER on TT - $80 return in January (+ I have now paid $25 each way for a bulk head & an exit row, and may even allow up to $20 each way for food/drinks onboard)

Beware when comparing a Qantas price's value, merely by "discount"!

Seems Virgin are now silently matching/beating QANTAS's sale prices.

Smart marketing... Being silent means people can check the Virgin prices against Qantas and find the cheaper and think they are always cheaper.
Will only catch non frequent flyers.
