Down already, not even a minute into the sale. I got to select the flights but it wouldn;t go through to the billing site.

20 minutes in and it's still SLOW...

10,000 seats for $1.

That seams like a very good deal. Only problem is I could only use 1000 of them, anyone else want to set up a syndicate, we could probably have 10 people at 10 cents each, giving each of us 1000 seats to use. Even JohnK would find it hard to turn down an offer like this from Jestar.

I have turned down the offer. There is another 7 months to go before we get to February. Give me a sale I can use not speculation.

Anyway I tried just for the fun of it. Need I say any more....

Tried on and off for an hour. Never even got to the select a flight stage!
Typical!

I'd be surprised if anyone actually got to book a flight on Jetstar in the last 1 1/2 hrs. Even AirAsia and RyanAir aren't this bad... Wonder if it's just a PR stunt.

Jetstar want their site to go down. Instead of 10,000 seats, they'll sell around 3 - 5k, but each one of their newsletter members usually send the sale offer on to an average of 3 - 5 friends, so it works for them from a PR and viral perspective - given the entry of Tiger into the market.

Jetstar should be hauled across the coals for their poor online infrastructure - you can guarantee that any decent sale will result in their site going down.
