Qantas domestic flash sale (book 11-13 April 2023)

[flydoc]

QF domestic 72 hour flash sale until midnight 13/4/23 for travel in May-June. Some unusually low fares for travel period so near.
(Lack of ) demand driven?
Not (yet) matched by VA.

Some of these domestic fares actually look quite good for QF.

Agree, although I haven’t looked too closely at availability

Availability seems to be the coughpier flight times (like 6:00am SYD > MEL) but still overall a decent price.

I suspect we'll be seeing more and more sales. The economic slowdown is very real and it's very noticeable in retail how hard the brakes are on right now. It won't be too long before it hits the travel industry harder too once future bookings thin out.

My brief look yesterday seemed to be for next month, May- June travel. Don't recall seeing this before @elanshin
Is this common to have sale flights only a few weeks out or economic slowdown as suggested?
