  • Damn might have to jump on at those prices! Does it go via LAX?

    • +2

      I don't think we have many non-LAX options.
      The only direct flight I'm aware of is QF73 SYD-SFO.

      • Oh wait, there's also UA870 SYD-SFO. But seeing as that's United Airlines it doesn't count.
        Haha we're so mean. But rightly so.

  • book through Bestjet….
    based from the review here http://www.productreview.com.au/p/bestjet-com.html
    I will pass.

      • hmmmm you are right!

        it looks like people only review when they experience bad situation :(
        which means we cannot really trust this review?

        Just an FYI, BestJet is managed by the wife of the owner of Strategic Air/Air Australia. An airline that went in to administration WHILE PEOPLE WERE IN THE AIR. They got abandoned overseas.

        They have since lost their AFTA licence, which is the biggest alliance of Travel Agents in Australia. They are currently in the courts seeking an injunction against AFTA to get it renewed but I wouldn't go near them. The wife claims that her husband has no say in the running of the business but we all know that's bullshit.

        • AFTA is an association, not a licensing body. There is no such thing as an AFTA license. Membership of the association is voluntary.

          The thing about Strategic Air is correct, but despite knowing this I've booked over 30 flights with Bestjet over the last couple of years as their prices are always the lowest for my particular flights. I get my airline ticket within 24 hours and can login directly to the airline's website for confirmation. I pay by credit card so I'm not risking losing my money. Even if Bestjet folds my ticket is with the Airline, not with Bestjet, so I don't see the problem.

          Bestjet make their money with high volume sales and obscene charges for flight changes. I'd never use them if my flight dates are subject to change, but otherwise I've found them excellent.

          @jonsnow:

          Perhaps I used the wrong wording, but the fact that Bestjet is no longer AFTA accredited (Rather, ATAS) is a tad worrying. Of course what repercussions this may have might very well be zilch now given that the huge benefit AFTA accreditation had was that you were protected with the Travel Agency Compensation Fund which no longer exists.

          To each of their own, however. I have used Bestjet in the past to pricematch with Jetstar, or have identical flights pricematched by STA Travel and Flight Center, so they are useful in that regard!

    • How is this bestjet? Isn't the booking through IWantThatFlight? Where does the BestJet part come into it?

      • IWTF isn't a travel agent that actually sells tickets - it's a search engine along the lines of Momondo etc etc that links you to travel agents to actually purchase the ticket.

        • Thanks. Thats a bit cleareer now.

  • Prices are getting ridiculous.

  • Very sad when Virgin ditched their MEL-LAX flights. Two stops to get to SFO/NYC etc is a pain.

  • Fly to SF with budget flights.

    Pay get taxed by AUD to USD Conversion. haha

      Is English not your first language?

      • Makes perfect sense to me, he's just saying the conversion rate is bad so you get killed when you get there. At worst he left out a 'to' and is using taxed loosely.

        .. which makes me think English is not your first language since you couldn't easily figure that out.

          English is one's first language. One's real name is Prince William. Kate sends her regards. ;-)

      • Now that's offensive.

    • It was a typo on my phone anyways.

      It was supposed to be:

      "Then get taxed by AUD to USD conversion."

      Gosh. Some people are just out there to make people feel negative.

        And some people are professional offence takers with no sense of humour.

        • I'm not going to bother with you.

          @MrLeE: Thank God.
