Re: DJ happy hour - Business Class sale $200 for many destinations
Pity I don't like Virgin and have no need to travel these city pairs within that time window.
Otherwise really good fares.

Wonder if Jetstar would've priced match???
Anyway, too late as i don't get these and from WA, if they were offered would have been quite a bit more...

I was fortunate to find our about this deal. I'd just dropped around to see an AFF'er and his wife to drop something off.
He knew I need to head back to MEL, so he rang me on my mobile as I was driving home.
He booked it for me as I sat in a carpark dictating my VAFF & CC details. Obviously I trust him implicitly.
Got the ding in my ear of the incoming email before I'd hung up. $409 return to MEL in J, thank you very much to the AFF'er & Virgin.
Now that is Community spirit for you!

Argh, I didn't end up booking, was constantly in two minds, should have just done it and then cancelled if I needed to, oh well.

Re: DJ happy hour - Business Class sale $200 for many destinations
Would have been nice to send a V-Mail letting people know that Happy Hour was for Business - I found out at 5:57pm - grr!
Normally it's a whole lot of flights I don't want to take (ABX anyone? or midweek SYD-MEL)

Re: DJ happy hour - Business Class sale $200 for many destinations
Treating myself in late Nov for my birthday with robdjnr#2. Yay.
I couldn't find any option for seat allocation during the booking process. Did I miss something?
Before booking, signed robdjnr#2 to Velocity and tried to Family Pool to my account (I'm paying) but got message saying that Pooling rules have already been met. My understanding was that you could have 2 members 18 or over all at the same address pooling to 1 account.
Can someone please clarify?
Thanks.

Selecting J seat allocation is two week prior to depature date.

Thank you. I thought that was the case, but also thought booking J class may be an exception.

Don't think it's really QF's cream - their cream is corporate travel and this quick fire sale is hardly targeted to hit them.... If anything this may piss Virgin corporate travellers off a bit who don't really watch the Virgin happy hour! Not the right mechanic by any stretch to reach them.... I'm not sure who Virgin is really trying to target with this to be honest!
Sounds like they desperately need to fill their J cabin with whoever whenever. I'm sure they've pulled in a few bucks

Re: DJ happy hour - Business Class sale $200 for many destinations
Well, they got me!
Unfortunately, I appear to be one of those who find it difficult to go back towards the fat end, the further I get towards the pointy bit of an aircraft. Ergo, will likely do this again.

Re: DJ happy hour - Business Class sale $200 for many destinations
A cynical person might suggest that the annual report needs some sweetening. Easier to say things were bad if you can point to a better future (without mentioning revenue per seat...).
Seriously, 75% discount (BNE-MEL), cheaper than basic saver (SYD-AYQ) on 5 months of inventory. Things are bad.

I think it's quite clever, but then again I think JB is quite clever.
Give the masses a taste and I if 1/10 convert you've made your money.
