Emirates have some pretty good sale fares available between Melbourne and KL/Singapore for $695/$701 return (inc. tax) respectively, for flights between 28 Jun - 30 Nov, 2011. They're super-easy to find on Emirates' website and are on sale until 30 June. Here are a couple of sample fares/dates...

Hi folks, I just spotted fares between Sydney and Shenzhen from $618 return inc. tax, for travel between 1 September - 31 October, 2011. These are direct flights. Shenzhen is only a bit over an hour away from Hong Kong by train, so this a very cheap and convenient way to get there. I've...

Definitely not a mistake fare. BestFlights is offering the Melbourne - Singapore $400 fares here: Singapore - Emirates Book Cheap Flights By Phone - Flights Details Sale ends 19th October, however I feel it will get snapped up long before then!

You have to be wiling to book first thing in the morning, too. Last two AA sales, I was booking tickets at 7am AEST, as the sale had begun midnight Malaysia time (2am) that morning. By the afternoon, ticket availability had become really spotty. Fingers crossed that AA solves its dispute with...

Haha, enjoy! I've posted a brief review of 'Airways' here: Flighthacker – Airfare sales, news and advice in Australia Blog Archive Tiger Airways: ‘Airways’ premiere wrap-up

Yea... I agree, Airways didn't really frame Tiger Airways in a positive light. The proposal bit was pretty funny, though, I can't believe the guy couldn't wait until he was actually out of Adelaide. Shame he was flying Tiger, he could have tried milking that one for an upgrade had he flown...

Giving the discount folks two cents: AirAsia is currently selling fares from Melbourne to KL for $260 return inc tax. They also fly on from KL to Hong Kong. May not be the best option if flying with kids/like the FF points, but I thought I'd throw it in there. I posted a summary of the sale...

Yes, once again Sydney Airport is one of the worst when it comes to receiving the glut of passengers in the morning. I generally don't recommend catching a flight that arrives prior to 8am, unless you really love said queues. After this time, it becomes quite efficient... Until the evening, when...

Hah! This is such a refreshing thread to read! My mother suffers from a similar condition - does she really have to pack a 1/2kg of teabags when on vacation? What are all these toiletries for? - so I empathise completely. My personal tip - go to Kathmandu (or a good camping store) and buy...

Yes, I know the fellas from Adioso, they're a great mix of technical expertise and business savvy. I use Adioso daily for research when blogging for Flighthacker and for most of my personal fare searches. On the plus - all Aussie-based discount carriers covered, fares for Asian low-cost...

Any word on whether partner airlines are included in this arrangement, eg. will Velocity members be eligible for points accrual on BMI?

VirginBlue/Pacific Blue are offering seriously cut-price fares from Sydney to the Pacific Islands, including: Sydney to Port Vila, Vanuatu for $390 return Sydney to Nadi, Fiji for $424 return Sydney to Nuku Alofa, Tonga for $506 return All fares are for direct flights and include tax...

Cheers for the link, medhead! Lets see if 'Air Ways' gets the same 11-year run as 'Airline' got in the UK ;)

Re: Malaysia Airlines: Direct flights from Melbourne to Jakarta from 16 Sept, on sale TravelWeekly said that this is a direct flight... Completely agree that the departure times are pretty unreasonable (unless you're an insomniac)! Cheers! -Ros (Flighthacker.com)

Tiger Airways’ ’warts and all’ new series, ‘Air Ways’ premieres on Sydney’s Channel 7 on Tuesday, 14th July at 7:30pm. Using the same format as the UK’s ‘Airline’, a reality-tv series depicting the trials-and-tribulations of the discount carrier, EasyJet, ‘Air Ways’ depicts both the grit and...

Malaysia Airlines have announced direct flights from Melbourne to Jakarta, Indonesia beginning 16 September. Fares are on sale now from $854 return (was $750 yesterday) including tax. Funnily enough, these flights don’t stop by Kuala Lumpur, which is rare as it’s Malaysia Airlines and all…...

Yes, getting this fare is rather tricky, too. You need to sign up to Malaysia Airlines' 'Grab a Deal' sale site and you have to book both legs separately, too. I have reprinted instructions below for everyone's benefit: 1. Sign up to MAS ‘Get-a-Deal’ site (note: I don’t think selecting a...
