EDIT: Looks like most of the great deals are gone. Though there are still a few around apparently. Keep an eye on the comments.

Crazy cheap price to LA from Sydney or Melbourne (and Brisbane as commented below)

I've plugged in a few dates and seems that there are fares available for most of October and November 2015. Also getting reports for fares this cheap in December and January.

Also, awesome prices to New York, had to work a little harder to find dates for that one.

Adelaide to LA is coming in at about $786AU.

Other reports of fares to London / Paris / San Fran are mentioned in the comments for under $1000.

Try using the search function at http://www.skyscanner.com/ the ability to search the whole month makes it a little easier to find the cheap fares.

UPDATE 2:

2/7 4:40PM:

Hi everyone, just an update following yesterday’s glitch where mistake fares were incorrectly offered for sale by some US based online travel agents.

Apologies for the confusion. The glitch was fixed at 11:30am AEST, however I'm pleased to let you know that Qantas will honour the bookings in this case.

Woo hoo!

UPDATE:

12:58PM:

An update for you savvy AFFers celebrating Xmas in July with these mistake fares: they’re not valid and have been removed from sale. We’re currently following up affected bookings.

Expect bookings to be cancelled shortly.

      Excluding December

  • AmericanDad on 01/07/2015 - 11:06

    Can people advise which website issues the tickets right away?? I booked through flight network and because it's a travel agent I received email stating that they have to confirm with airline before issuing a ticket.

  • 89tnp on 01/07/2015 - 11:08

        man, this is ozbargian. you should know it's buy first think later.

    Booked for myself to LAX and got $580USD confirmed… Partner went to get same, listing with same price but then on checkout going up to >$1700. So looks like they've seen the error and pulled it, now I just wait to see if they honour mine, which is unlikely.

    • piggyfund on 01/07/2015 - 11:23

      Good luck! at least you can save for 1 of you to go.

    Not to ruin the party, but you maybe dissapointed when on the day of departure, Qantas says that they are overbooked and you have to take another flight. Hope that I am wrong.

      How is that going to be an issue, its a full service airline, you get accommodation and compensation

    Just got an email from BYOJet:

    Thank you for choosing BYOjet.

    In this instance your booking is not able to be confirmed by the airline and cannot be ticketed.

    There are a few factors that may influence availability and pricing. A major factor may include dynamic pricing by the airlines and this can change at any moment during the booking process. Another factor is that many airlines are now using cached data for quicker fare responses and this may affect up to date availability. Once availability is affected this will influence the fare that was displayed to you and hence may require a higher fare to be chosen.

    As we are unable to find any fares in a similar price range since this fare is not valid, we shall cancel this booking request. Your card has not been charged for this booking

    Kindly be advised that this fare is not valid so please do not attempt to book this again as this is an error caused by Sky Scanner

    We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

    Thank you for choosing BYOJET.
