I've been keeping my eye on a promo J class fare BNE-JFK return for $6705 which was available until last night. This morning the fare has increased to over $8k. My issue is there was no "book by/ticket by date" mentioned anywhere on Qantas' website, either on the special fares summary page (Plan > Flight Offers > International) or in the Fare Rules. From memory it was a USA Sale or USA Deal promo. Travel dates were Aug 15 - Jan 16.
The same issue applies to several of the Flight Specials currently advertised on their website at the moment, (HKG promo fare - no tkt date, Europe promo fare - tkt by date supplied). I get that fares can be withdrawn without notice but this is NO excuse to leave out importing ticketing deadline dates in addition to applicable travel dates.
IMO if a fare has a ticketing deadline then bloody include it on the website or in the fare rules. :evil:
FYI - I held off making my booking because I'm waiting to hear back re meetings in NYC which I'm expecting to in the next day or two.
Totally frustrated.
