Was in Flight Centre the other day and the guy told me to keep an eye out as the $1000~ Fares were close to being released for the rest of the year and into 2011.

Well I had a look on the VA site today and their lower fares for the rest of the year from 06 Jul-09 Dec.

MEL-LAX-MEL $1100
SYD-LAX-SYD $1107
BNE-LAX-BNE $1122

JFK connections onto VX from $1250~ r/t

Hoping QF matches soon and they keep going down.
 
I've been keeping a close eye on CBR-JFK airfares as I'm heading there in August.

I noticed that two days ago both Qantas and VAustralia reduced their return fares departing in August by ~$200. (Qantas went from ~$1900 to ~$1700 and VAustralia went from ~$1700 to ~$1500.)

I'm hoping they'll drop another $200, which would bring them into line with prices for travel on that route in May-June.

Looks like we'll be getting some quite cheap prices. Probably around $1000 SYD-LAX return.

Seems DL has now dropped JFK to $1270 for after July travel.

Excellent news. We can only hope that this pushes the Australian carriers' prices down a bit further.

As an aside, what is the level of service (quality of seats, planes, food, entertainment) on Delta compared to Qantas/VAustralia for SYD-LAX services?
 
Just caught this on OZbargain Looks like we are back to the extreme lows again, with August to be the cheap month. QF hasn't responded, hope they hurry up and match this sale.
