I don't understand your point - do you think should they charge the same every day? Those prices don't look that bad (assuming they are return)...
It seems I did not explain clearly . (It was late at night !)
On the 14th April I booked (and paid ) a J saver return flight BNE to LAX for Feb next year at the cost of $6,782.
On the 9th of May I saw that the same flight was $5,503, so I cancelled and re-booked paying a fee of $200 but with a saving to me of $1,000.
Last night I looked again and found the fare to be $7528 so I expected to see many seats sold, however when I did a dummy booking I could only
see our seats, with the rest vacant - (I had previously booked Mrs Toff a points ticket ) - except for row 5 that always seemed to be blocked.
I guess the point I was trying to make is that just because you have booked a fare keep on looking.
The points required for a reward booking also changed significantly.
I had to ring to cancel and re-book and I was interested to find that the Virgin lady could not see the fare on her system and had to look via the "public"
web site. I processed my booking whilst she waited on the other end. It took some 24 hours for the confirmation e-mail to arrive.
I must say I was most impressed by the "Virgin Girl" who could not have been more helpful - well on a par with the "Singapore Girls"
I apologise for the crime of paying cash for a seat and will try to do better in the future !
