  • Site doesn't seem to be working.
    Excellent price for September school holidays if true

  • +3

    THanks but want to know how much more from Sydney to HK,,

  • -1

    $611 from MEL to HK in Aug.
    Can anyone get $399?

    • +8

      48 hr sale starting Wednesday 19th July

  • That is an awesome price for the rewards

  • What about from Perth?

  • +2

    Perfect for getting gold status

    • How exactly? It's only 4k of points and wouldn't be many status credits

      • It's a gold Explorer that was offered as part of the Cole Rewards cc.

  • +1

    Effectively $370 return, not to mention the status credits for gold explore members.

    • 370?

      • +1

        I'm guessing JohnHowardsEyebrows are referring to the Flybuys points being used as a Coles group discount being a cash equivalent.

        $399 x 15 Flybuys points per dollar = 5,985 Flybuys points = $29.92 discount at Coles

        $399 - $29.92 = $369.08

        This return airfare should also give 4,614 Velocity frequent flyer points plus any cashback from the credit card you use to purchase it.

        • Hey Dane… what do you mean by 'plus any cashback from the credit card you use to purchase it.' what is this cash back about?

        • +1

          @ezza: Sorry, just meant any points or effective cashback you'd get from making a purchase via your credit card. e.g. an additional $3.99 discount at Coles if you used the Coles Mastercard.

        • ahhhh okay cool

  • Probably a silly question but does outbound travel mean return flight has to be within those dates or only just the outbound flight e.g. return after the date range?

  • +1

    I don't really have any bucket list items for HK but god that's a fantastic bargain with everything considered. Thanks @OP

  • If prices are $399 here, we may get even cheaper prices from other websites (excluding points that is).

    • It's exclusive to flybuys

      They did a similar deal with Etihad last year Melbourne-Heathrow for $1200. Was not available anywhere else.

      • +4

        MEL-LHR last year was from $999- I got onto that!!

  • wow - that's worth it just for a weekend getaway! Thanks OP

  • +2
  • For perspective, I just paid $370 for weekend flight between Mel and Syd on Virgin. This is an amazing deal on a full airline. I booked the Virgin business RTW flight on an earlier deal in October so wont be booking but 3 nights escape for 2 from the Melbourne winter for $1200 inc hotel with is the same as a weekend in Gold Coast.

  • Interesting to see what the endgame is going to be with all this pricing dumping. I don't see cathay giving up these routes.

  • Anyone see anything around this price at September to Singapore?

    Can't seem to find anything for that D:

    • If you are looking at nsw school holidays the 2nd week is in October and scoot is on special then.

      But, of course, the return via scoot from SIngapore leaves at 1.30am and most times it runs late…. so u gotta be keen for a bargain.

  • When it says 19. Is it midnight or in the morning?

    • +1

      The Virgin Australia exclusive fare offer is valid for bookings made with flybuys travel between 00:00:00 on 19 July 2017 AEST and 23:59:59 on 20 July 2017 (the 'promotion period').

  • Anyone know if they'll offer a sydney promo too?

    • According to terms they said it will be higher price but don't say by how much.. Also its indirect flights from Syd

  • do you need to by a flybuys member?

  • has anyone actually seen availability for $399 or $499.. wasted a lot of time going through all combos and cheapest is over $600?

    • 48 hr sale starting Wednesday 19th July. Book between 19 July 2017 and 20 July 2017.

      • Doh! face palm

        thanks

  • What payment occur no fees? as mentioned in terms it said's credit and debit card has fee..

  • Well, I don't know about anybody else, but my preferred dates in November INCREASED from $610 return to $889 return just after midnight! Joke sale :(

    • Take that back! After 5 minutes or so, they came good :) Return flights November had for $502.85. No way around the $6.50 card surcharge unless you use flybuy points to pay!

  • Still cant find any of the $399 deals. Tried all sorts of date combinations, but to no avail. I deliberately waited in front of my laptop until the clock ticked midnight. Probably like one flight out of hundreds and I just cant be bothered trying every single possible return date combo. Hope someone gets lucky and do report to the forum if you do strike a $399 deal. So far everything I've just been quoted regular priced fares. Still cheap, but nothing special.

  • working now!!

    • were you able to find the cheaper deals ?

      What dates did you try, I tried many in August and nothing is less than 699

  • Price not changed. 15x points is there though

  • booked for september was 395 return thank you !

    • gonna try again, been checking july and aug. Not much luck there.

      • you can do august 3-8 as an example

      • Try 23-31 August

  • Yeah its up now. Sadly the only dates I could work aren't cheap at all. Oh well ,not meant to be!

  • :O man only 23 hr virgin flights from sydney to hk via melbourne sigh…

    • yea that's a bit of a pain to having to spend 14+ hrs in melb airport. I wonder what ppl can do, may need to cough up and pay for a night at the hotel?! which will eat into the savings you made in the first place lol

      • Unless you have Velocity Gold trial…can kip and eat/drink in the lounge.

        • Just book separate flights, such as Reward seats.

        • @Sweet3st: Then you'd have to pay with points…and not get the addittional status credits from Sydney.

  • Was devastated that I missed out the previous deal…but saved another $70 from this one…although 23kg less baggage

  • Got it for $396.35+ $5.20 CC on 31/8 - 9/9. Found the cheapest are dep. Wednesday or Thursday, return on Thursday or Saturday. Thank you OP!!!

    Its work for me , Great Thanks OP

  • +1

    booked 7-11 sep total cost 79400 flybuys points. will earn just under 6000 bonus flybuys points also.

  • +1

    thanks op. got it for $401 inc booking fee from 09/08-21/08.

  • +2

    Got it for $401.55 inc all cc fees 31/8-5/9. Those of you on Plat would earn 9250 points which is good for 1 MEL-SYD redemptions + tax. On top of that, the equivalent of 3000 velocity points from Flybuys if you wait for the 15% bonus.So all up 12,250 points + a trip to HKG. One of my best buys to date.

  • +5

    "Why do you want to go to Hong Kong?"
    "IT DOESN'T MATTER, BOOK IT!"

    • I'm trying my hardest not to book this but my gut says the same lol

  • Booked for 29 Nov to 5 Dec Return for 499+. This is the best.

  • Bought a ticket in the morning, but still havent got my flybuy points.

  • got $499 x 2 over the week with public holiday in Nov. Thanks !

    Now to figure out how to get virgin lounge entry in HK being a night flight back.

  • +1

    Thanks, OP!

    I was going to book flights to HK last night and your timely post saved me $400.
