Oddly, my cheapest domestic flight wasn't as cheap as my cheapest international flight. Paid ¥160 (about $32) for a LDS-HRB one way this October on CZ, while I only paid €10 to fly DUB-BHX in March on FR.
 
$9 SYD-MEL with F Lounge access. They were special times
Didn't Norfolk Air have a $1 special SYD-MEL (on their tag flight) shortly after the QF SYD T1 new Flounge opened (back while WPs still got any time access)?

Cheapest would have been negative value though. Yes, Jetstar PAID ME to fly with them...let me quickly explain.

When JQ first started, they offered a "double the difference" promotion (now it has morphed into their "price beat guarantee"). Anyway, if you purchased a Jetstar flight, and found another flight on a different airline (same route +/- 1 hour) that was cheaper, they would refund double the difference as a voucher.

So.... using a previous Jetstar voucher, I pay $99 for a JQ flight, show them TT had a flight for $10, get a new JQ voucher for ($99-$10)*2 = $178.

i.e. start with a Jetstar voucher for $99, and end up with a JQ flight plus a new Jetstar voucher for $178! So Jetstar gave me an extra $79 to fly with them. :shock:

Effectively a -$79 airfare :p

8 x $1 Sydney - Albury when Virgin first started to fly that route :) = $8 return for the family
8 x $9 Newcastle - Brisbane Jetstar Friday Frenzy = $72 return for the family
 
Back to 6 years ago, booked 4 return tickets SYD-OOL on JQ. 8¢!!
 
MEL - AKL return for $99 each (x2)

Bonus was an op-up on the AKL - MEL leg.
 
20¢ each way from AVV to SYD.

I think JQ's ticketing system IT folk must've been drunk that day :mrgreen:
