How long does it take to update? All the syd-melb flights on tiger are still appearing as $68
Edit: I think the site is awesome. Used it heaps. Don't know how i'd live without it!
It's updated about every 24 hours (not always often enough for fast-selling sales, but we're working on that).
But the Mel-Syd fares you can see only start in July and aren't in this sale, which is only May.
We now have the $39 MEL-SYD flights.

This is brilliant… I wish i knew about your website when i booked my flights to KL. Took me half an hour to find cheap airfares & times.
Excellent & good luck
How much is it really? Add $5 per booking for Scam Charge, $5 for credit card payment? So it's $50 if you are lucky.
And then walk 100m along the tarmac into a tin chickenshed and out through a turnstile onto a outside carpark. They could just pull down the terminal building!
It's a reasonable deal. Better than the rip-off prices before, but it's no cheaper than a European budget flight halfway across a continent.
To be fair, a MEL-PER flight is 2-4 times the distance of a flight b/w London and central/eastern Europe. And we have a lot fewer people to fill the capacity.
By the time you consider fees and taxes, it's well cheaper than any budget flight I've taken in Europe.
$39 is the cheapest in my entire lifetime that I have seen on this route. So you can do a Daytrip for $88, or if you want luggage its only going to cost $54 each way which still is good for that time of the year. But European flights have fees like to pay to checkin at the airport, pay bag fees that usually cost more than the flight etc…
Also note that Friday's are not available on the Sydney deal for $39
No, you are wrong.
I just booked FRIDAY 10th July 2009 at 21:30, from Melbourne Tullamarine to Sydney Kingsford Smith, for $44.
Be aware that TIGER has a BAD REPUTATION for arbitrarily changing Dates & Times of their flights and/or Cancelling them altogether, at the last minute:

They are legally allowed to do this.
So, make sure you check THE NIGHT BEFORE of your flight if the time/date has changed.
