Qantas Business Class Sale

[file51]

Don't make me get the ice cold water.... or the huge laundry basket and a big heavy rock.

Another 2-for-1 premium sale would be very nice.

This sale doesn't seem like much except "buy these now before we jack prices back up to pre-GFC times".

I am hearing you about how good it would be to see another 2-for-1 sale, even the $1.9k Y+ fares like a few weeks back (and yes, I did grab a couple of those).

As for the ice cold water, basket or rock, my Mum tried them and more... "Epic Fail" I must say... lol

Not to drag up an old post - but is seemed better to put this here than start another thread...

Has anyone else noticed that sometime in the last couple of days, the comparatively "cheap" (to QF standard J fares) to the US from OZ have dissapeared? The fare basis was IAUSAX9 and it was a year round that had been running for a few months (not publiscised anywhere that I recall). It put a return to the US at about $7.5k from memory. Went to book one yesterday and prices are back to $16.5k return!

Looking at the premium cabins on E/F for a few dates, I can't see that they are flying very full, so maybe this is a pre-cursor to the reduction in capacity likely to flow from the seating reconfigurations?

The US to OZ J fares have not disappeared though:

Specials - Special Offers - Visit Australia - International Business On Sale

$5K return with 50 day notice!

Yes the fares have been gone for a while now, I was about to book one and it was about $7K return which is a bargain for J for AUS-USA-AUS.

V Australia still have $6300 return fares for most of next year AUS-USA-AUS.

Also 3 bonus Amex points per $1 spent with them

So with up to 4.5 Amex points per $1 spent it's a great deal

I know this thread is about Business class fares for Qantas, but does anyone know of some Qantas cheap fares SYD-EZE ? I'm looking to travel at the end of Dec '10 (any date from 26th-31st Dec), returning possibly in early Feb 2011?

If not, any whispers about a possible sale on fares coming up?

Thanks

Heh. Anyone want to give out a user name and password to the Qantas industry site so we can have a gander???

I guess relatively $7.5k is a good deal.

One of the fastest ways for a travel agent to get in big trouble with Qantas! Not going to happen...
