Its been a while since they bounced under $900, but the US Dollar is also around US81c, so this could be a great deal.

$740 return with United? So very tempting..
Have you flown with united, its like flying QANTAS in the 1990s (really bad food, single projector for entertainment and some music), its no wonder they went bankrupt. I was temped to jump out and swim about half way across the pacific.
There would have to be a $600 difference for me to consider united as an alternative, and even then id rather not.
Yep, agree. I flew the MEL/SYD-LAX a couple of years ago, and the planes appear to be the older ones in the fleet with the single projectors. I believe they were playing a Britney Spears movie so didn't miss out on much.
@neil: who cares what movies are playing on flights. Usually they’re crap anyway.
That’s what ipods/iphones are for. Load it up with eps/movies and away you go. Guess people are still old school…
Not sure what the dollar at US$0.81 has to do with it. Prices are in AUD$. Remember if jetabroad goes broke and you pay with credit card i think you get it back - not sure what happens if you pay with paypal. Not sure about many things - life is complicated.
Life is complicated.
I worked out the US dollar has to do with the shopping money - duh. Sorry. Still not sure of paypal refunds.
Fantastic prices, perfect opportunity to go see family, just gotta find the time now…
probably a good idea to do a currency conversion now if your planning on going, as i think the US dollar is probably as low as its gonna get, could be wrong but wont hurt to change a k or so in preparation for the trip. damn, why cant they go on special in one year around the time of my honey moon plans!
That is a great price.
Good price. And opportunity to fly the A380 on Qantas as well!
How do I actually book tickets at this rate?
I tried to book SYD-LAX from Qantas web site for Aug 15 (Departure) and Aug 21 (Return) and the price is AUD 1,363. Then I checked JetAbroad.com and Qantas' price is roughly the same but there is a $200 cashback if paid by paypal.
I paid $1,000 just to get to ChiangMai (Thailand!) a month ago, would have been cheaper to move the business conference to the US!!!
