Base fares just went up a dollar

[kevrosmith]

Booked a fare earlier today, and the Red e-Deal's and Flexi Savers were around their typical $175, $205 and $325 mark as I'd normally expect. Did the same search tonight and they've all gone up a dollar. Anyone else notice this on their usual routes?

It did not go unnoticed.

I booked some SYD-BNE flights recently and noticed the airfare for peak periods has gone from $129 -> $130. Only $1 increase but still too high.

At this stage I am only purchasing $95 and $99 airfares and the rest I will leave until the last minute hoping Qantas releases some specials for school holiday periods.

Yes I see a $1 rise also on PER-MEL (if I am recalling the former price correctly)

Given that the prices are rounded up on the initial search page, you can only see the true amounts of the increase when clicking through. To me it looks as though the fares have gained more like 75c, but the rounding obscures this a bit.

(Look at the total on the first page when you select the flights. It does not always add up to what you selected!)
