Hey guys,

I was looking at a random trip away in August (had a look a week or two ago all the flights were $2000+) then found the Etihad sale. Has great value to Athens, Belgrade, Paris ect. In August which is peak season.

• Melbourne to Madrid from $1347
• Melbourne to Paris from $1387

Anyhow it's a saving of $500 :) if you are planning on a trip down that way. Also tried to package it to go via LAX best I could find was $2600. I'm not too experienced with the bargain FF flying but yeah this seemed worth posting as there appear to be plenty of tickets and options available.

P.s. Please make sure you get Startravel? to match it as they get the cheapest tickets… (inside joke)

  Good luck getting these. During their last sale I attempted to get sale fares and it wouldn't go through. 3 months later I'm still having back and forth with their "customer service". Their call centre only does phone bookings and won't process sale fares from online even of the site is having an issue. Nor are they "permitted" to transfer people to someone that can help. The only possible contact is back and forth via email. Absolutely hopeless customer service.

    The reason I am posting this is because the flights are very available go on there site and have a look - there customer service is no better then most others.

    And they are primarily for online bookings so if you can use OZB I'm sure you can book a ticket or two online… It's pretty straight forward no need to call them.

      Nah. During the last sale I attempted to make a booking meeting all the rules for the sale fare. The online price was around $3500 when it should have been $1750 (as part of the sale). Maybe they've fixed it now, but my complaint with them is still open. They give zero support. I'm not saying this is a bad deal. If it works it's a decent deal. Just posting my experience with them which has not been good.

        I booked mine with no hassle… and not even considering which date's they had set I was fortunate enough they had the tickets I wanted in the time I wanted to travel for $1500 the super bargains maybe a bit more specific late sept ect.

    Not bad.

    According to this review, equal best along with Qatar Airways. This is obviously purely based on numerical ratings though.. but still sounds fairly convincing to me. Nothing to worry about.

    There are some equally good routes very near by, in August.

      How can you say that if you don't know where I'm travelling to? I made a valid statement so no reason to neg.

        I'd say that's a bargain for August at such short notice.

        Is valid for August. Hence the -ve vote.
