Qantas removing Super Saver fare on 7 July (or thereabouts)

[danih88]

I just got off speaking to my CarlsonWaginlit CSO and in a passing comment to her I was wondering why the Flexi Saver flights were generally cheaper than the Super Saver ones (where it would usually be more expensive).

Her response to me was that the Flexi Saver ones were cheaper because the number of them was reduced and that the Super Saver fares were going to be removed on the 7 July.

I guess to put it in context there are generally five types of domestic fare types:

Red e-Deal: E, O, Q, N
Super Saver: S, V, L, M
Flexi Saver: K, B
Fully Flexible: HOX, Y
Business: I, D, J

Each of these have different SC structures attached to it. To put THAT in context of a standard Mel/Syd run which gets 20 SC as standard. These fare types will give you:

Red e-Deal: 10 SC
Super Saver: 10 SC
Flexi Saver: 20 SC
Fully Flexible: 20 SC
Business: 40 SC

Does anyone know if the removal of the Super Saver fare type is true? My worry is that my usual Flexi saver fares will suddenly become hard to get and be just generally annoyingly expensive to purchase on a day before basis.

Regards
Daniel
