  September is peak typhoon season so probably avoid October.

  I believe the $563 price tag is fake.
  There is only 1 travel agent offering at this price
  "Cheerstravel", which I have never heard of…
  all other agents are offering at least $1000.

  Same for Sydney, It's $200-$300 cheaper than others, again, the only one.

  It's not listed on productreview.com.au
  no reviews at all, sounds very risky to me.

    It claims it's located on 213 Greenhill Road Eastwood 5063 , Adelaide
    So I look it up on street view of Google map, updated to April, 2019
    No signs, no shops, no name at all

    Checked it's ABN, business name registered on 05 Apr 2019, post code 5000

    Hi - I have gone all the way through the purchase process and the booking is still available.

    They are a new travel agent who started working with us a month ago, hence no reviews (Of course, they may still turn out to be risky but just explaining why no reviews).

    I have contacted Cheerstravel to see if this is an error and will update the deal when I get a response.

      I also check the price on JAL's official website
      same dates, Dep Mel 25/Nov, Returning 07-12/Dec, and it shows $ 1,247.78
      I don't think any legitimate agent would offer lower than half price…
      $1000-$1100 would be reasonable

        Wait, if they have an ABN, can’t you just get Flight Centre to price match?

          @sw00p: Flight Centre does not do price match anymore.

  If it’s too good to be true , then it’s probably isn’t legit.

  I would rather just pay a bit more with a reliable agent for peace of mind .

  Last thing you want is to have your flights cancelled and have all accomodation and admission tickets to events all booked be all useless if you cannot get there .

  I have witnessed someone at an airport once been told they were double booked through the agency as they were checking in and couldn’t get onboard but luckily I booked directly through the airlines and could get on.
