Travel dates for most deals are Feb/March 2015 … bit far ahead for me to book/plan anything. :(

  And right when school starts.
donga100 on 15/05/2014 - 11:32

I guess they are planning to add some more sale fares? The number of seats listed as available for each deal is only 2060 in total…

  Similar comment to last year's sale
  10,000 seats??? 600 seats + 500 seats + 700 seats + 600 seats + 900 seats = 3300 seats ONLY Where's the other 6,700 seats?? https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/106857#comment-1447848

Would have been good if it was something similar to tigers vouchers so we can pick dates later
nephilim on 15/05/2014 - 12:07

Damn was thinking could get cheap flights to go to Socceroos vs SA at ANZ stadium, 2015 is way too far away
nafe on 15/05/2014 - 12:13

Melbourne flights would be good if heading to the Formula 1 in March next year….. assuming it's about the same dates as previous years. Shame the Sydney one ends up at Avalon (I always fly to Tulla).
- AntMan76 on 15/05/2014 - 13:56
  
  Was thinking the same, but as the 2015 F1 schedule is not yet finalised it is a bit of a guessing game.

Last year's $10 Sale https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/106857

There were more destinations available than those originally listed. I flew BNE-SYD $10 each way, bought just after sale had ended.

Had similar experience as many - crashed at payment screen. Available flights appeared & disappeared during sale, but my preferred dates & times reappeared after sale had ended.
- jman123 on 15/05/2014 - 12:22
  
  If you add up the number of seats advertised on the link - it's only just over 2000 so I think you're right if it is actually 10,000 seats on discount.
- Ahan on 15/05/2014 - 13:47
  
  Same here. Except my experience was very smooth. This year I can go to Melbourne for $20!

  they are a discounted price. so yes, in other terms, that is a sale lol.
  
  Just because the dates don't call into your desired dates, doesn't mean its not a good deal. Though they don't work with my schedule as well (being i don't plan things well ahead), just be grateful they are offering such deals

    The problem is that these are not 'deals' as such.
    These are cheap ways of promoting brand loyalty and to be frank, filling up empty seats.
    I would be grateful when they promote genuine sales and bargains.

      They are not 'deals' for you because they don't suit your requirements. They don't suit mine either but its a great DEAL for those who can fly on those dates.
    - ExtraSalt on 15/05/2014 - 14:12
      
      they are not to fill up empty seats. pretty sure these specific flights have been setup for this deal. There would be so much drama if it were simply to 'fill up seats' with 1 guy paying a standard rate to fly to sydney, and the bloke next to him paying with poo change to fly.
    - ExtraSalt on 15/05/2014 - 14:12
      
      exactly
    - INFIDEL on 15/05/2014 - 14:23
      
      'fill up seats' is usual strategy with Jetstar sales.
      From many experiences, people sitting next to each other may all have paid different fares. I paid $10 to Sydney last year next to a businessman who paid hundreds. Some Jetstar flights are code shared with Qantas and other operators. On a Japan flight, people behind paid $1200 return, I paid $400 & row in front was FREE flights!

It IS worth while letting people know that the day you can fly are generally limited to Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday evening flights.. which counts out that sneaky weekend away leaving Friday night and coming back sunday evening for the 9to5ers..

  I got through and bought 6 tickets. If your too slow I don't think thats worth a neg. Try AirAsia and then tell me about website failure….
  - lisss on 15/05/2014 - 14:54
    
    I wouldn't blame it on the poster being "too slow" as that's not necessarily true, and I think website failure is worth a neg, it wastes everyone's time… who cares if Air Asia is also crap?

      spent 5 mins adjusting dates to get $10 flights
      finally confirmed and paid thru poli at 2.57pm
      
      (by the way, @Jip, I've done plenty of AirAsia 3am-ers and the like and it's never been as bad as this was)

      Well I had a very different experience, but I just wanted to have a go (with alittle patience) and see what happens. @battler if you've gotten up at 3am for Air Aisa, fighting sleep deprivation and the servers against all of SE Asia, then I am surprised you had a worse experience at 2pm here (and all's well that ends well aye).
      
      And yes ideally the site should cope with the extra loading - no defender of it. But as I see it the neg is a question of whether it is a bargain and there are nominally thousands of happy people right now… and it appears, thousands of frustrated people aswell.

Got ADL to PER return for $60 each. $120 for a two week holiday next year to see family isn't bad.

Paid by Direct Deposit to avoid $37 Credit card fee. Ouch.

In comparison I paid $420 just for my brother to come over from PER this year. With Jetstar too, so they kind of owe me this deal.

    I'm not sure if you're trying to goad a response, but…
    
    Adelaide has NO direct flights to Japan, so we always have to fly via a domestic hub (eg Melbourne, Sydney, Gold Coast) or via an international hub (eg when flying on Singapore, Malaysian, Cathay).
    Flying via ADL to NRT via Cairns is about 13 hours (airport to airport). This is a fair bit less than most other routes.

I managed to get PER-ADL return for $63.12 inc carbon offset. I loaded the site concurrently on two browsers: Interesting to note that Internet Explorer constantly gave me the "site busy" message, while Chrome was very slow in loading but never gave me the error.

My biggest issue with the whole process was the number of tricks and traps on the Jetstar website (hire car? seat selection? travel insurance? hotel?) that, in normal website traffic conditions, are an annoyance, an attempt by the airline to increase the cost of your booking. In this type of hysterical web congestion, it was just bloody ridiculous to have all those steps to click through, each of which you needed to wait for while it loaded. If you have to have them, put them all on one page rather than making each page load separately for each and every step!

I spend almost 30min from the time the fare started and finally I found the fare..

Travelling to Syd to Bali on 11th Feb & Return 18th. Filled out all the passenger details, Selected extra baggage, Selected my seats and last think happen, payment failure. Total was $1230 and every page was taking like 5-7 minutes at a time. POLI or Net bank was not taking the payment.

I called up the customer care & explain whole situation but they are rude and unprofessional.

I said if your website is not taking payment, what can I do from my end. I tried my level best to pay you but you had glitch. You should fix your website error and provide me the same fare. Nothing works with JETSTAR.

I am taking this to department of fair & trading for misleading customer and false advertisement. I have screen shot of the glitch. Spent my most afternoon but outcome was negative. These people are very dishonest and rude.

Out of curiosity, how much was Melbourne to Japan and what was the dates?

This was posted 9 years 11 months 10 days ago, and might be an out-dated deal.
