Okay OzB Community this is a very specific, but crazy good deal. Expedia (try STA Travel if Expedia runs out) has these flights for dates around Feb 2017. It is a Virgin Australia flight, but you'll be codesharing with Singapore Airlines. Similar flight on SQ costs $1500+.
Try different dates to suit your availability.
As I said, very specific deal and it looks like a glitch - but I hope this helps some!
Try STA Travel if Expedia runs out.
Yes
Only know that from the many disasters playing Pandemic
For those who had booked on 7/11-8/11 with Virgin- is your bank statement showing the transaction ??
Mine is not yet showing it (though the amt is debited). When i called Expedia today they said they had received a call with the same issue from another customer today.
Though they say that as long as we have the confirmed ticket all is good….. i am afraid it all may get cancelled if the transaction doesnt finish in 7 days.
Why the route back through MEL? No return flights direct to PER on certain days? :S
for fun
ok, boss…
Wow Member since 2008?? I think you're the boss here sir
Do you have a quick status credit calc done? :). Im interested…kind of
Sorry I do not :(
Haha I am so interested…. but no annual leave!
Cheaper on expedia… updating deal.
I'd look at IWTF
okay!
Indians?
Who doesn't
$386 out of Sydney via Perth, 2 stops, good Status Run.
Do you mind sharing the link?
$386 for just 110 SC isn't too bad, half way through silver
$760 return Hobart-Paris in March 2017. VA/SQ Flights 05Mar/18Mar. Shocking layovers, but $760!!
checked Bris<—>chen return in feb -> $399
checked 9feb to 16feb bris chen return $300 (though stops in perth+singapore on the way so 20 hour flight)
holy crap - 9 march - 16march $259 return
(profanity). I'm taking my kids to india - AU$1,053.06 for the 4 of us return.
this is ridiculous.
I'm squeezing in a trip to cairns at the end of Feb and then going to vietnam at the end of april. japan in june.
and stupidly cheap prices to Beijing in September
just booked Expedia: Confirmation Your Trip Bris to Beijing
Thu., 7 Sep. - Thu., 14 Sep. | Total price: AU$893.76 (for 4 people)
Yea boiiii
Defintely will hit gold status with this pricing.
110 SC if ex-SYD just half way through silver.
I think 120, 20SC each leg.
Fare code T is getaway- only 15 for SYD-PER
Sydney - Beijing and Sydney - Singapore all around same price
Where does it tell you how many kilos you are allowed?
Says nothing on expedia, but I think should be the standard SQ allowance
For Velocity (Virgin Australia)
Assuming Discount Economy…
MEL-PER = 1,679 miles = VA Zone 3 = 20SC
PER-SIN = 2,432 miles = VA Zone 3 = 20SC
SIN-MAA = 1,816 miles = VA Zone 3 = 20 SC
Thus, return trip will be about 120SC from the East Coast.
(Which will get you 48% to Velocity FF Silver status).
For Krisflyer (Singapore Airlines)
Assuming 50% earn rate for budget airline carriers
MEL-PER = 1,679 miles
PER-SIN = 2,432 miles
SIN-MAA = 1,816 miles
Thus return trip will be able 11,854 Elite Miles from the East Coast.
(Which will get you 47% to Krisflyer FF Silver status).
MEL-PER is on getaway fares so just 15SC instead of 20
Cheaper on different dates- return on 28/02 for ~$505
Guys thinks it's an error across a few destination if you book multi city. Worked for me with flights to Vietnam for $708 with taxes and fees.
Cheap
Just booked Melbourne - Delhi Feb 17 for $410, awaiting confirmation email
EDIT: recieved Expedia confirmation, it gives me an Expedia itenary number which I can use to login to Expedia website to view my booking.
For some reason flights are called Virgin Australia but operated by Singapore Airlines. Both ways stops via Singapore, 7hr stopover on way there for 20hr total, and 4hr stopover on return for 17hr total
Now to ask the boss for leave tomorrow
Booking same flights through Singapore Airlines site quotes $1,300+ so unsure if this will still be honoured
EDIT 2: The Expedia email contained a Virgin Australia 6 digit reference, when entered into the VA site https://www.virginaustralia.com/au/en/bookings/manage-my-boo… the booking comes up all correctly and I can click re-send my booking so I have confirmation from VA rather than Expedia (3rd party)
Any info in checked in baggage ?
I believe checked baggage is included. I booked 2 sets of flights direct with VA and 30Kg checked baggage is included.
Does it say in the tickets or ?
Did you book through Virigin Australia directly through their website
How to did you get resend my booking —- because i am not able to select Chennai or MAA as destination —
Its showing in my velocity account … Please suggest how to resend the itinerary - not able to find the option
Cheap way to rack up those Status Credits
How can i BOOK THE BAGGAGE ? Don't even know if its included or not.
Perth-Singapore-India (return)- is probably a short-haul flight
Virgin's site shows my Cabin & Fare Type= Economy. But doesnt show any baggage (is it 'Go' or what ??)
Good effort to found this deal !!
are you guys able to still book it?
price jumps in the payment page to regular levels.
i am unable to see the fare rules on Virgin's site anymore for my itenary booked last night
* it was there last night
@Benjamin258 SAVE ME —— can you share the fare rules that you wouldve received from the itenary you had sent from Virgin's site last night
Had to look it up. Chennai is in India.
