    Qantas SYD&MEL to SIN $510 ret ($410 through .br site)

    QF.com quotes the sale as ending on the 12 of Nov If I remember correctly (and please correct me if I am wrong), expedia.com.br will quote the sale rate until 2359 Nov 12 on the Brazilian timezone so you effectively get almost an extra day on the QF date.

    Book flight + hotel, but only book one night in the cheapest hotel. It becomes cheaper overall to book one night at a hotel, but you don't need to show up and stay at the hotel. -edit- whoops, didn't realise this was already answered :)

    FYI Singapore sale on - SYD-SIN for 749 on qf.com; 1039 BRL which is roughly a bit more than $500 depending on how bad the FX rate is... Dates I used was 2nd Nov returning 4th. edit - 948 BRL if you use the accomodation trick too.

    Qantas SYD&MEL to SIN $510 ret ($410 through .br site)

    I've noticed I can regularly get a significant saving from using the BR site for almost all my destinations. I can still get SYD-SIN for 560 (add maybe 5% for s***ty XE), but I saved a grand booking my flights SYD-BKK-DXB-EBB and NBO-DXB-BKK-SYD - total fare was 2.2k and this was booked just...

    Qantas SYD&MEL to SIN $510 ret ($410 through .br site)

    I spoke to four people of which one couldn't speak enough english to get by, but at least was able to say he doesn't speak english (in english). Just be prepared to wait - they and/or their system is not particularly quick!

    Priority Privilege Membership Renewal Promises!!!!

    25% for oceania (all the time) or is that only with the certificates? They told me any time until membership expiry, but from looking on their website it seems that was mistold. And if there is no benefit for international hotels... guess I am calling them next day they are open!

    Priority Privilege Membership Renewal Promises!!!!

    My phone gave me a number (starts with 02 9475). I received a phone call from them on Tuesday. I mulled it over as I don't travel around Oz that much, but at the same time I intend to do a little travel to QLD and WA this year and it could come in handy. But what really was the defining...

    Qantas SYD&MEL to SIN $510 ret ($410 through .br site)

    FYI Prices went up to standard post-sale prices, but appear to have dropped again (at least on my dates in early august) to $570 for those that need to urgently book. Obviously not as great as $375, but still reasonably cheaper than other fare sites.

    Qantas SYD&MEL to SIN $510 ret ($410 through .br site)

    re: 1 I was just anticipating checking in online and getting my ticket that way. re: 3 when I inquired about cancelling they said I wouldn't get back the expedia fee and the rest would be relevant to the class I booked in. So if I remember correctly I had an O fare and was quoted $300 to...

    Qantas SYD&MEL to SIN $510 ret ($410 through .br site)

    That's a disconcerting email to receive. I have not received anything like this yet... and hopefully I don't ever receive it! Maybe shoot QF a call and check their end since that is the end that matters most?

    Qantas SYD&MEL to SIN $510 ret ($410 through .br site)

    One of the flights I booked flies through BNE has a short time period between touching down and take off (80 minutes). Am I able to check my luggage through to SIN from Sydney or am I going to have to collect it in BNE? I am not too worried about the time if I don't need to collect, but if I...

    Just noticed this definitely happened with expedia.com.br Was just running through the process to explain something and got the quote twice within a few minutes of each other. All of a sudden it is quoting $100 more!

    Qantas SYD&MEL to SIN $510 ret ($410 through .br site)

    Go to expedia.com.br You will need to click "Voo + Hotel" (Flight + Hotel in english) in the top part, just under the big title "MONTE SUA VIAGEM". Then put in your flight times and click pesquisar voos. Now you only want to get a hotel booking for one night, but on the page that comes up you...

    Qantas SYD&MEL to SIN $510 ret ($410 through .br site)

    Finally successfully changed my booking. Pretty pricey relative to the original quote - 794 BRL (including 300 BRL fee for changing) and the original fare was 1150 for my dates. Having said that it is what you get with such a cheap ticket! There was one big upside from it though - I am now in...

    Qantas SYD&MEL to SIN $510 ret ($410 through .br site)

    Called at 10 this morning; found someone who spoke english. All was going slowly, but seemingly progressing at least. He asked which date I wanted to change to; put me on hold. Asked if i prefer direct or transit; put me on hold. Asked if a $150 change fee was OK and then searched for prices...

    Qantas SYD&MEL to SIN $510 ret ($410 through .br site)

    This is how it came up with mine - 8000 points to upgrade for SYD-BNE. Also I just phoned expedia BR and came across an English speaker, but he said their systems are down and they can't look at any itineraries and to call back in an hour. :( -e- And called back around midnight their time and...

    I haven't tried, but it shows as having the option in my booking... but maybe it isn't for all domestic flights :|
