Jetstar are having their 'Spring Sale' and amongst some typical specials are a few gems. Just locked in return SYD-SGN (Vietnam) with luggage for around $550
Starter fares from:
DRW-SGN $119
SGN-DRW $76
SYD-SGN $265
SGN-SYD $235
SYD-HKT (Phuket) $349
HKT-SYD $324

Bali-SYD $228
SYD-Fiji $199
Fiji-Syd $216
It's been on sale at $99 Darwin to HCMC for a while, but thanks for the Singapore heads up
In my post ozbargain-double-checking of the deal I keep looking at the SYD-SGN flight I booked (which is via DRW), and booking SYD-DRW ($129 each way) and DRW-SGN ($195 return) so by my logic it would have been cheper to book as 2 seperate sectors ($453 vs $500)… or am i missing something?
It is indeed cheaper to book two separate segments, if you however miss the DRW-SGN departure due to a late arrival of SYD-DRW - then tough luck as the fare is based on a point-to-point basis. In the case that SYD-SGN via DRW is booked then you'd be 'bumped' to the next available flight or compensated for the missed connection.
That's incorrect. I worked for jetstar customer service until it went abroad.
As long as you have a continuing jetstar segment regardless of the PNR it is booked under jetstar are liable and will get you on the next avaliable flight. This is as long as the minimum connection time applies. The only real issues is scheduled changes,you would want to alert jetstar that you are continuing and cannot be delayed on your flight. They will then put a note under your PNR and will work around your plans.
Basically at the end of the day, i wouldn't worry about it. If you can save money do it! Regardless of what jetstar cover however i would still take out travel insurance as it might be the next day when the next flight leaves. I'd much rather get on another flight with another airline :)
funny how title say 'Ho Chi Minh city' n description say SGN (saigon??). good price though :D
Saigon was renamed after the end of the Vietnam war but the airport codes had already been issued
I prefer Saigon.
Sai Gon is shorter and easy to remember… As a Vietnamese I prefer it as well.
just booked Vietnam airlines for $1200 return few days ago :(
Do you know where this verse come from ? Let Patience Have Its Perfect Work. ;)
About time we get some more cheap flights as I want to travel to Asia soon.
I could not find this on the website, maybe sold out already?
SYD-SGN $265
SGN-SYD $235
Very interested in this :
SYD-HKT (Phuket) $349
HKT-SYD $324
So I'm thinking I could book a return flight over 2 segments/periods to maximize cheap fares. e.g. DEP - DEC, RET - MAR. Or get a one way ticket, stay as long as possible and have flexibility to backpack anywhere and then buy a return airfare abroad when ready to come home(more expensive option). Plus, I think to claim free travel insurance you usually need a return ticket, so it might be advisable to do this!
PS : I'm a travel virgin but have been researching and reading to find out all the ways to save money, but don't trust my judgement sometimes!
DRW-SGN $119
SGN-DRW $76
What dates are these for? I looked at jetstar's website but cant find these prices
Last night I found many dates from 20th Oct through to Dec were on special, including some weekends. I found SYD-SGN was on special on alternate days to SYD-HKT.
Just looked again:
DRW-SGN $119 on Oct 27,29,31, Nov 1,3,5,7,8,10,12,14,15 etc
SGN-DRW $76 on Nov 14,15,17,19,21,22,24,26,28 Dec 1,3,5,6,8,10 etc
Thanks, You just saved me hundreds of dollars. Stuff like this makes me glad i joined ozbargins
Just bought a one-way SYD-SGN $265 ticket for Febuary 2012.
Now I have to organise : Visa, travel money card, immunisations, health insurance, etc. So much planning but it will be great and I'm going to see most of SE Asia.
Nice sale!
Adioso's fare drop detection system detected a whole bunch of these when we indexed jetstar. Here's a bunch of em with the associated value (ie: how much they dropped by from yesterday). You can find out which days have the bargain fares by running the appropriate searches (below).
