i know it is't exactly cheap but i guess this is for those who want to travel with something that isnt jetstar, virgin and tiger
Bought flights between canberra and melbourne. Qantas offered flight times that were better for us than virgin and for a lower fare too. Was very happy about this sale. Never flying with tiger ever again. Too much risk in them changing flight times and having serious delays.
FYI VirginBlue might be slightly cheaper with a corresponding sale (e.g. SYD-ADL $79 rather than $89 but obviously no frills like food/drinks).
Meanwhile, Tiger's $58 for the same flight ('Never Again' from my Mrs, too!):

Has anyone else pulled the trigger on any of these sales?
Virgin's prices also do not include any checked baggage. With Qantas you get 23kg of checked baggage… plus food and drinks.
There's an inflight meal between Sydney to Melbourne? When I was a kid it was only a sandwich. I'd be surprised if they still kept serving a small meal. Do you happen to know what it is?//
depends on what time you fly…
if its around breakfast time or dinner time then you get the corresponding meal, otherwise you might get a snack - like a biscuit or a muffin, plus a drink of some sort..
FYI Adelaide's a bargain if you are really into wine.
Last time we took the inaugural Tiger flight (yes I wanted to try it and got enthusastic from sales posted here)… Mrs hated it so I've monitored sale fares for a long time.
QF's last 3-4 sales on this route were $115 each way; $26 off a sale price is a MAJOR deal for QF, so maybe there are other coompetitive factors at play.
Cheaper than JetStar! Better too, goes without sayin'. ;)
See you on the May 28-30 flights? :)
Book it with bPay to avoid the $7.70 ea surcharge.
Hope this helps.
