Re: SYD-CBR direct flights in Feb for $48
Email just arrived now for me... If Qantas matches, that could be a reasonable way to earn some relatively cheap SC's within Australia. Anyone up for multiple SYD-CBR-SYD runs one day?
Qantas had moved its pricing to $69, by the middle of the day. If that's what you mean by matches.
P.S. I have read all the very knowledgeable discussion on here regarding Jets vs Turbo-props, but Ejets will always beat Dash8s in my mind (and quite possibly 737s as well?!?). [Obviously I need to try one first, before I am sure.]

$48 is matching - not $69
The Virgin E-Jets are a very nice plane. Comfy to fly in, a lot less noise, and I believe a touch faster than the Q4 equivalent. Try one - you'll enjoy it!

I just missed the Happy hour airfares yesterday and noticed this sale on DJ soon after. I have been able to find some availability on the dates I want but with the small number of flights per day on some days the only option is the 6:25am flight or the late evening flight.
To be fair to QF they are $20 more expensive but you can get availability throughout any day quite easily.

I am thinking of a status run even at the $69 price. For me there is no real point doing anything before May 2008 as I have QF Platinum in the hand anyway. I was thinking of June, July or August. If you are keen on doing multiple runs on a Sunday let me know.

Now that is keen One thing to watch out for on doing this is that you will more than likely have to chase up some of your FF points and SC.
