    Store reps are only allowed a 1-2 posts a week, unless the posts get lots of votes (enough to make it to the front page which is around 30-40 votes). This is not a request for votes!

      FYI - I like your posts and find them to be pretty good if you're looking for to combine your long haul flights with budget airlines such as Air Asia etc.

      Your posts are straight to the point, no sales pitch, not intrusive and non-spamming like some other store reps. Sometimes when I compare the search results from your website with Skyscanners or Kayak, yours came out better.

  I bet travelwiz can do a better deal because online / search engines suck.
  Oh wait… that's right - this not BNE/LAX and this is not over the Christmas period. Oops! :D

  Great deals!

  Rep, can you please explain how I can search your site for the cheapest flights from Perth - Calgary during the second half of 2015? I have no dates in mind, just want to find the best price.

  Thanks :)

    Hi kokomo1978,

    Normally, when you have flexible dates, the best way is to enter your 'from' & 'to' and then select 'Anytime' for the dates. This takes you to pages like:
    http://iwantthatflight.com.au/x2PERNYC-Flights-from-Perth-to…
    Which show you the cheapest dates to fly. This is great for all the common destinations like Bali, Auckland, Los Angeles, London etc.

    However, for an uncommon search like Perth->Calgary, that page won't be much use as we use people's searches to populate the page. And if people haven't been searching…

    So then the best thing is to plug in a few dates and see what you find. which is a bit crap, given you have a 6 month window. We have things in the pipeline to help with this, but that doesn't help you right now.

    So I did some digging on systems that we have here, and came up with $1796
    http://iwantthatflight.com.au/flight.ashx?oc=PER&dc=YYC&dd=9…
    You can see all the searches that I did here:

  The problem with these deals is that most have short departure/return dates (i.e. only 1-2 weeks).

  Now that's what I call a deal.. Superb for mileage run !! And not to forget yummy status credits

  PER to NYC from $1268 is an insane price! BTW, I guess people fly out from WA fly westward whereas the rest of oz fly eastward?

    Some of the dates are in August, which is right over their summer. The Nov dates will be pretty chiily, though :)

  Hi Rep - I just noticed the How Far Can You Go Airfares Map on your Home page. I've never seen it before on other booking websites and I think it's pretty cool because you can find out how much the airfares fluctuate from month to month based on where and when you want to go . It's pretty useful for people who are looking to get some idea for their next holiday destination.

  http://iwantthatflight.com.au/

  I want to go explore Eastern Europe in Sept - Oct for 4 weeks but I still don't know which city is the best arrival point. As a matter of fact, I could only see LHR or CDG or AMS and there's no Eastern Europe city on the map. How do I reveal the airfare prices for Eastern Europe? Any city will do as long as it's not Kiev (Ukraine) or in the vicinity.

    Hi Gorodemon,

    Having a look on the map with my origin set to Sydney I can see a few - Budapest, Warsaw, Prague. Just zoom in a bit.

    However, if no one has searched for a fare to the city in the last 24 hours, then we won't have any data to show (which is why the more uncommon destinations don't have any prices).

• 

  anth0888 on 24/02/2015 - 10:34

  @Iwantthatflight - Do you generally find the best US sale fares are released around January/February for the year? (as a annual trend?)

  • 

    Store RepIWantThatFlight @ I Want That Flight on 24/02/2015 - 10:47

    Hi Ant0888,

    You can usually depend on good sales at this time of year (even in Dec, as that was when Air NZ started their sales).

    • 

      anth0888 on 24/02/2015 - 11:15

      Thanks for that, seems South American flights are on sale too. And to pick your knowledge even more…

      For south east asia flights, when in the year do you usually find the most sales occur?

      Thanks for your info.

        In places in particular? I ask because some locations are served better by particular airlines.

        @anth0888:

        I don't think I am going to be much help here… (sorry)

        For Singapore and Malaysia (KL at least) there are so many budget airlines that fly there (Scoot, Jetstar, AirAsia, Tiger) that there is almost always some kind of sale going. Just wait a week & something is bound to come up.

        Jetstar have had sales to Thailand in April in the past, though they rarely get much cheaper than $400 return.

        Cambodia - sorry, no idea.

  The Perth/NYC R/T is cheap- I know as my kids visit there nearly every other year (their father's family lives upstate).

  Good deal.
