          It's crazy how expensive AirAsia tickets are right now. This deal is pretty good but the return price is the maximum of what I've come to expect to pay for March/April return (usually mixing and matching AirAsia with Scoot though).

  • battler on 15/01/2015 - 15:24

    plus 8.50 per person/flight unless you use debit mastercard.

      POLipay is also fee free if you're with one of these banks:

      • battler on 15/01/2015 - 17:18

        correct, poli has no fee for scoot.
        debit mastercard incurs a fee with scoot (i was thinking the other airlines that dont charge for debit m/c)

        • lucjack on 16/01/2015 - 14:23

          Yeah, they all have one fee free payment option which I think is required by law if they are not displaying the credit card fees in search results.

          Tiger: Debit Mastercard
          Virgin: Poli
          Jetstar: Poli on website or Debit Mastercard via phone and tablet apps

          If you need to book on a credit card to get free travel insurance and/or reward points a Jetstar price beat booking is a option if flights match. 10% off and they don't charge a credit card fee.

      • brisdaz on 15/01/2015 - 16:48

        They do have to be direct and one way though. I wonder if they'll match this combo deal?

        • lucjack on 15/01/2015 - 16:52

          Never matched international, but I'd give it try. From my experience with domestic they just punch in the competitors dates and will match the total fare they see.

        • binatang on 15/01/2015 - 20:33

          Have used their price beat a lot. You will find its one way or return but direct only. Won't compare to stopovers/connections. You'd have to break it down sector by sector. The advantage is no credit card fees when using price match. Disadvantage is it's online chat and your customer rep is not only chatting to you but others as well. Can take up to an hour for a single sector price beat to finalise. Though multiple sectors would be expedited once ID details have been recorded. Bring back the direct phone call as jetstar used to do and it was all over in ten minutes!

        • lucjack on 16/01/2015 - 00:44

          @binatang: They've taken the number of the price beat page and only have chat option but they were happy to do it over the phone the last time I called up.

      It shows the taxes when searching for flights which seem to range from $80-$94. Select one of these flights then click on the + symbol in the booking summary box on the right hand side of the screen. You should then see the fare is $0 along with the breakdown of taxes, fees and surcharges.

          In most cases the CC fees will be worthwhile if your getting travel insurance included. As far as I know, the only way you can avoid the fees and pay by CC is with a price beat from Jetstar or maybe Flight Centre.

        Overseas airline wants to do business in Australia? Sell tickets to Aussies? Wants to land its planes here? Wants to use the terminal facilities to load passengers? You bet they got to comply with local advertising rules or else the Feds simply withdraw their rights to fly into Australia.

    • amkssg on 16/01/2015 - 18:54

      Yes, the law does say so. And yes, the law does apply since it is an AU advertisement.
      Which is why the advert does say that "Return for next to nothing. All you pay are the fees!".

      If your question is why the information above says "$0 (+Tax)" and "$0 return fares", that because our dear OzBargain friend (lucjack) typed it that way, and is NOT reflected in the scoot advertisement.

      • INFIDEL on 16/01/2015 - 19:53

        Where is this Australian advertising you quote?

        I haven't seen it. I've received overseas based emails from Scoot promoting it as I subscribe to Scoot. Link is to overseas site flyscoot.com.

        Australian law does not cover overseas sites & advertising.

        • amkssg on 16/01/2015 - 22:25

          Quite simply, you would not have received this promotion via email if you did not select your location as "Australia", making this an Australian targeted advertisement.

          If you had selected "Singapore" as your location when you subscribed to Scoot emails, you would have been sent the below promotion instead. (Which is 10% discount on one-way flight, instead of tax-only return flight.)

          http://www.flyscoot.com/index.php/en/promo-fares-sg.html

          And if your selected location was "Hong Kong", you would have received the below promotion instead.

          Australian law stipulates that for all flight itineraries in which the initial departure is from an Australian Airport, the advertised flight price must include all fees and taxes.

          To make it easier for you to understand, try booking the following 2 flights as one-way trips.
          1) Sydney to Singapore
          2) Singapore to Sydney

          You will notice that for Sydney to Singapore, the price of the flight you "select" and the "total" that appears on the right is the same amount.
          However, for the Singapore to Sydney booking, the price of the flight you "select" and the "total" that appears on the right is NOT the same amount, as the advertised price does not include fees and taxes.

          This same concept applies to Tiger, AirAsia, Jetstar, etc.
          You can try on those sites too.

          @bsmksg:
          That's my point - laws on Australian advertising only control advertising generated in Australia, not advertising targeting Australians.

          This issue is raised in other airlines promotions, particularly AirAsia. Airlines based in other countries, promoting their fares from outside Australia, do not have to comply with Australian standards of advertising.

          It's similar to the advertising I receive at this time of year from China with products featuring the Australian flag - targeted to Australians, but definitely not Australian advertising.

      • lucjack on 16/01/2015 - 20:56

        I've updated "$0 (taxes) return" to "$0 (+taxes and fees) one way inbound fares" so its less confusing.

        Advertising laws aside the title of "$0 (+Tax)" seems to be what they are selling. Couldn't fit any more in there but happy to update this too if there's a better suggestion.

  • brisdaz on 21/01/2015 - 00:34

    As an aside I used a MasterCard with Westpac and MasterCard Securecode required me upon registration to remember yet anther password. I declined and the transaction was decined. Sometimes it works if you try again so I did but once again the transaction was declined.

    So instead I used Visa Card with Commonwealth Bank and Verfied by Visa (Visa's alternative to Securecode) required a One Time Password sent via SMS. This to me was much more userfriendly and so I accepted the transaction.

    Whose to blame for trying to make me remember yet another password? The Card Organizations, Visa or MasterCard, or the banks, Commonwealth Bank or Westpac? A westpac online banking customer service guy suggested it was the Card Organization fault and that if I tried using Visa with Westpac I would have the same ease of use of OTP as well.

    Also what happens if you're out of mobile reception but within internet connectivity?

    • INFIDEL on 21/01/2015 - 08:56

      Like with all banking issues with travel, always have at least 1 backup card / bank.

      Be prepared when travelling - I've had cards swallowing at overseas ATM many times. Sometimes MasterCard was not accepted, so have Visa as well, etc. Same with banking when booking travel.

      Needed to use code to verify banking in Japan last month. Phone had no credit with Telstra, so thought I may not receive code - but came through.

      But how many times do you have internet but no phone reception. I know that happens (in countries where your Telco has no roaming, or remote areas - that could have been a problem for me in Western Chinese villages), so if that's where you are going, set up an alternative card now, that does not use SMS code. But I think that should not be a problem in Brissie ;-)
