• Bag a Bargain Airfare by Going Foreign



    This week our members spill some money-saving secrets. Bagging a bargain is more exciting when you have an audience who appreciate your purchasing talents. Our members are a captivated audience when it comes to saving cash on airfares.

    Take for example the recent Qantas "Asia on Sale" promotion (no longer available). Before splashing your cash and booking online on the Qantas or other Australian booking sites such as Expedia.com.au, our members suggest searching for the same flights on non-Australian websites.

    Some savvy members managed to get an effective 20% discount on the identical flight by booking on the Brazilian version of Expedia! Translating these foreign websites can present a challenge – but again, our member are happy to help. Other helpful sites revealed by our members include Air Asia and "Scoot".

    Our members agree that sharing information is the cornerstone of an effective online community and so they vow to share and assist each other in securing the best deals.

    All my A330 flights from Syd to Perth have always been relatively full irrespective of what day of the week it is. Last Sunday would have been about 80% full in Y and the same in J.
