Hi all,
Was about to book a return DWN-BNE flight on Virgin last night at 11pm AEDT for $330 return and then got distracted. Flights are for 17-20 June. Log in this morning and the DWN-BNE leg has gone up to $379! The flight wasn't part of happy hour or anything. Insane price rise over night and it isn't a special weekend, school holidays or anything. No idea why it went up so much. I can literally buy the same flight for this afternoon for only $209.
Anyway I've booked the return leg at the cheap price but want to set up some sort of notification for the departure leg if the price drops. What app/site would people recommend for this? At this point I figure it can't go up too much anytime soon as the Flexi price is only $50 more. I am only doing this trip for the 2 eligible sectors to get to gold, already have enough status. So as cheap a ticket as possible is the plan. Do people often see the prices drop again on saver tickets after they've gone up?
Cheers,
David
