    OP - The reviews of BestJet are generally not good. As a promoter of their service through your website, what assurance can you give the OzB community that BestJet are a safe and reliable company to deal with?

    Can you explain how can a company that offers fares around $500 cheaper than anyone else? Is it a case of the old adage "…if it's too good to be true……"

    I think that "Iwantthatflight.com" is great, but I am just worried that a ridiculously low price from another third party is risky!

    Thanks

      Thank you. You said exactly what i've been thinking. While Iwantthatflight aren't (presumably) generating revenues directly through bestjet, it doesn't escape the fact there ought to be a degree of responsibility as to which products it promotes on its site. Otherwise iwantthatflight would struggle to be seen as a reputable product/service…

    • donga100 on 18/11/2014 - 10:34

      It looks like there are similar prices with other longer established websites which are also linked to when selecting the flights on IWantThatFlight. For the flight I looked at from BNE:

      Best Jet = $920
      BYO Jet = $975
      Jetabroad = $983

      Hi ticket65,

      As Donga100 says, there are a few other sites doing similar prices. If BestJet were the only ones doing this deal I would have called them up to make sure the deal was legit & not a pricing error (as has happened in the past).

      Regarding whether BestJet are a "safe and reliable company to deal with". That is a fair question. They gave assurances to this effect when we started doing business with them (no surprises there). We have been showing their flights for about a year now and have not received any complaints about their service from our users.

      • [Deactivated] on 18/11/2014 - 12:23

        Yep bestjet is pretty amazing, they book the tickets on time alongwith meals, FF number and always allot good seats and are so cheap compared to their competitors. Have booked 2 tickets with them from PER-PEK and PER-BLR. Amazing Service, keep it up guys :)

        Edit: They are also based in Australia, I think and have a local contact number so that's useful, unlike some of the European travel agents.

  • EarlyBird on 18/11/2014 - 11:07

    No doubt the recent drop in oil price has played a part. Putin says Russia is prepared for oil price collapse as more sanctions threatened. So maybe we can expect more cheap air fares.

    • [Deactivated] on 18/11/2014 - 12:28

      I have heard that most travel agents charge ridiculous amounts of their own fees and commission but Bestjet keep it pretty low, I think that's one of the reasons they are the best in the market.

  • jamestownfx on 18/11/2014 - 11:49

    Pro tip: booking with BYOJET you can choose to pay by BPAY - gives you some time to ask the employer/wife/husband/dog/cat if you are allowed the time off or not before paying.

  • raspudala on 18/11/2014 - 12:04

    Argh, don't know what to do, I already have multi-city tickets with Emirates: Sydney-Madrid / Copenhagen-Sydney next year, but similar flight with Thai Air comes up at $841 which is twice as cheap and then some!

    Cancelling Emirates probably cost ~$200 per ticket which still makes this deal very tempting..

  • rukeen10 on 18/11/2014 - 12:15

    • carwashhair on 18/11/2014 - 13:17

      When you get a booking reference (usually a 6 number/letter combo) this should indicate the fare has been ticketed by the airline. You can often then grab that fare and check your booking on the airline website.

      • [Deactivated] on 18/11/2014 - 13:23

        Yes I have received a Thai booking reference from Travel.com.au booking.

    • bauser99 on 18/11/2014 - 13:20

      Wait for the email from ViewTrip with the e-ticket, once the e-ticket has been issued you are good to go!

      Mine arrived about 30 minutes after receiving the initial booking confirmation from BestJet. Once you get the e-ticket it will also show Thai's internal booking number and you can go to the Thai Airways website to allocate seats, request special meals etc.

      • donga100 on 18/11/2014 - 15:11
        +2

        If you don't want to wait you can look up your itinerary/ticket on one of these websites. You will need the 6-digit booking reference and your last name.

        www.checkmytrip.com (Singapore Airlines, Qantas, + others)
        www.viewtrip.com (BestJet, Flight Centre, + others)
        www.virtuallythere.com (Virgin Australia, Etihad, + others)

        You might need to try more than one as each website represents a popular booking system used by airlines/travel agents. These three cover most major airlines and travel agents.

  • rukeen10 on 18/11/2014 - 13:29

    FlightCentre played it very well, they said they werent taking booking as Thai had told them it was an error and would not be honoured. Looks like Thai have fixed the error as the deals are no longer coming up.

    • raspudala on 18/11/2014 - 13:35

      For prices like this it had to be an error, no doubt about it.

    I just logged onto the ‘Manage my booking’ section and the booking exists – Can anyone in the know of airline booking engine’s suggest if this means I will in fact be able to go airside?

  • [Deactivated] on 18/11/2014 - 16:10

    A booking reference is not enough. You need an e-ticket number. Thai could in theory refuse to issue e-tickets then you won't be able to fly. E-tickets however are generated automatically these days so chances are high you'll get it if you have a booking reference number and have already paid.

    • donga100 on 18/11/2014 - 16:18

      Those who paid by credit card should be OK. A lot less likely if you elected to pay by bpay.

    • Meathead on 18/11/2014 - 16:21

      Thanks RD – All I have is an ‘Airline Reservation Code’ so it sounds like that will not be enough if Thai decide they want to renege on the deal (which I’d imagine they will because I’d say they are getting fairly burnt on it).

      I guess I’ll just have to wait and see but I’d imagine the E-Ticket should have come through by now if it was going to come because people up above said it took about 30 mins to arrive in their email and it’s been over 5hrs now for me!!

      • donga100 on 18/11/2014 - 16:28

        Have you tried entering the Airline Reservation Code at www.checkmytrip.com? You may be able to find an eticket there already. It would be 13 digits and start with 217.

        • Meathead on 18/11/2014 - 16:47

          Thanks for the tip donga. Unfortunately I cannot see a digit a 13 digit code starting with 217 on CheckMyTrip but the names, trip details etc. are showing up.

          Can anyone who has been given an E-Ticket number confirm whether they can see the 13 digit code when they check their trip on CheckMyTrip?

        • [Deactivated] on 18/11/2014 - 16:57

          Yes, my e-ticket number is showing in checkmytrip. It is hidden in the section with your name in it.

          @rd:
          Yeah, I don’t have any drop-down or hidden details where my name is unfortunately. It just purely has my name – obviously no E-Ticket has been allocated yet then.

          That is very unfortunate, I fear this will all end in misery!! If anyone has any more ideas, I’d be more than open to hearing about them? Thanks

          Edit: Just refreshed the link in CheckMyTrip and now there is an E-Ticket number starting with 217 - Thanks RD

          Now it all comes down to Thai's appetite to either take the hit on their P&L or on their PR - Let's wait and see!

      I am trying iwantthatflight, the prices I select are the specials then they change to over $1200

    FYI i talked to Flight Center, and STA today, and both company advised (after agreeing on price match) thats this is an error from Thai airways and they cant put the price through on their system at last step . Thai airs stuffed up their pricing (forgetting to add surcharges). So this ticket may not be valid.

    For whoever bought it, good luck with waiting for eticket. Otherwise, act fast for your refund.

    Perhaps you should buy travel insurance now to cover this.

      i booked quite late and got my eticket. once that is sorted, there are generally no issues with errorfares.

      Erm, not sure if travel insurance covers this particular situation!

    Did people who booked when this offer was available have their tickets honored? Any news from Thai on it?

      once the e ticket is issued its all good… flown on thai tickets where fuel tax wasn't charged and they honoured the ticket no problems….

    Looks like I got e-ticket overnight. CONFIRMED + E-TICKET #

    Thanks WebJet and OZbargain once again. Don't think we'll ever see fairs like this again.

      Thanks so much OP. My e-ticket came through overnight also and I've selected my seats and meals. Definitely the best deal I've ever gotten. Thanks again
