JQ Birthday Sale On Now - 2 for 1

[Maca44]

Have a luncheon to attend on the Gold Coast in February 2012 with several former co-workers, and was lucky enough to pick up 3 partner fares. Not bad, $207 plus cc fee for six pax one way SYD-OOL. However, it took a considerable time with the same message being received about 'high level of demand' etc, and then had to do it three times, but got there in the end. DJ suited us better coming back as the companion fare departed about 7am.

Picked up 2-1 PER-MEL return with the missus for about $100 each way 5 minutes before the end of the sale. Pretty happy with that.

Now just waiting for the ticket to arrive. How long do you generally have to wait for a JQ ticket to arrive?

I think you did pretty well to even get onto the web site. As usual it was a no go zone from here.

I wonder how many bookings (and therefore $$$) they actually lose with this cruddy web site?

I did have trouble trying to get onto the site even before the sale was released to the general public.

I agree, there are some features that do need working on. I have contact JQ on Twitter re: the wait time for the itinerary, now just waiting to here back from them.

One would think that with loss leader fares it would be in their interest to NOT make too many sales.

I picked up SYD DPS rtn in Oct as well...
Had to restart the booking 3 times after losing the dates between select flights and payment... all up $918 including $40 service fee atleast its the same price across paypal, amex and visa.. so the MR points help ease that pain..
