    Jesus… if only I had enough money to grab a few tickets that way on sale, a trip to Japan for $300 return for 2 people, yes please!

    • Shirty Grizzly on 05/04/2012 - 11:22

      That's nowhere near Tokyo or Osaka. either way it's technically for Japanese people coming here :P So they'd be escaping "radioactivity" or Godzilla because we all know that radioactivity is how he(?) started…

          hugo is correct, if you watch docos from Asia/japan, the radiation from fukushima has blown to Tokyo

      Tourism is indeed affected by the incident at Fukushima Daiichi. People are fearful of visiting an area hundreds of kilometres away from Fukushima for 2 or 3 weeks and developing cancer because of it. They don't stop to think about the tens of millions of Japanese who live everyday within this radius. People are fearful of a tiny additional radiation dose from being in Tokyo, when they don't realise they get far more ionizing radiation by sitting in a plane at 40,000 feet for 9 hours to get to Japan and back.

    ¥18,160 tax inclusive one way.

    • bargainhunter on 05/04/2012 - 11:30

      So is it 500 + taxes = 18160?
      18,160.00 JPY = 214.910 AUD

      • isdnman on 05/04/2012 - 11:41

        Yes. OP should state tax exclusive.

      • Nezuji on 05/04/2012 - 12:02

        Not just taxes. Here, we get an "everything included" ticket price. In Japan, they seperate out charges for everything.

        I almost flipped out, the first time my GF told me she got a ticket to visit Oz for $50. Then she explained that that was just for the seat; fuel surcharge is extra, luggage handling (not allowance) is extra, airport taxes are extra… the list goes on and on, and then yes, tax on top. The final price wasn't all that great, to be honest (in that case).

        • amkssg on 05/04/2012 - 14:25

          Australia is the only country I know of where prices are quoted "all inclusive".
          In most countries, air fares are quoted "exclusive of taxes and fuel surcharges".

  • tanoshiiki on 05/04/2012 - 11:41

    This is crazy cheap! I'm off to Japan next, next week but flying with QF though.

  • retiredfeline on 05/04/2012 - 11:45

    To members JetMail, held SALE obtained with values ​​of the spring of gratitude everyday! ! Let 's go to Australia in nature full of special price!

    Wow, so poetic. But…

    Sales period, making it 59 minutes (Thursday) April 5, at 23. (End as soon as it sold out)

    Which means you would have to compete with Japanese customers to grab a ticket. Good luck.

    • tanoshiiki on 05/04/2012 - 11:58

      I find google translation isn't very good for translating dates and times. The quoted line should read something like "Sales period until Thursday April 5th 23:59 (unless sold out)"

      Yes, the mailout was intended for Japanese customers. It appears to be like a get out of Japan during Golden Week sale.

      • retiredfeline on 05/04/2012 - 12:01

        I figured that it meant start at 2300 and end at 2359, unless sold out before, which is likely. We don't know how many seats are available at this price. It may be just cheap publicity. Unfortunately we are contributing to that.

        PS: In general translation engines have trouble with Japanese due to the idioms in the language. In my hazy memory there was one hostel site where some wording got translated as "hairy presence". In the end I figured out it meant something like first come first served. :)

        • tanoshiiki on 05/04/2012 - 12:26

          There's some museum on this year's Grutt Pass (a Tokyo museums special ticket package) that google translates as "Sex museum". The museum is sure not about sex or sexy! It's actually the "downtown" museum, but as in the lowered level of the land museum. Maybe "downtown" in Japanese is also a euphemism…

          I can't seem to see when the start date of the sale is, so I'm presuming it's actually available now; that's if you can find the sale tickets on the site.

  • irajohn90 on 05/04/2012 - 12:09

    has anyone been able to purchase. i'd assume they're booking engine would be restricted to Japanese residents.

    I'd be interested to see if anyone is actually successful in booking one of these flights. Calls by my GF to JetStar Japan in the past have indicated that they're very strict about which end you leave from and return to.

  • MrMaxwell on 05/04/2012 - 12:46

    I got ¥500 each way to the Gold Coast but with fees and charges worked out to ¥38500 total (AU$455). Not bad but no where near AU$6…please edit title.

    Regarding the radioactivity. Radioactivity and fallout are a beatup. There were people in the US living near where they were doing all of those nuclear tests in the desert. Their rates of cancer are not significantly higher than the general population.

    With nuclear fallout, the biggest risk will be thyroid cancer. You can be exposed in a major way and as long as you take potassium iodide, you reduce the risk to nil. Some countries require their diplomatic staff to carry potasium iodide with them at all times when overseas.

    My retarded asperger genius ex-BF is a cancer expert and he told me all this, and gave me enough potasium iodide to treat myself, my kid and one other person. He has hundreds of doses squirreled away at his house.

    The cost of potasium iodide spiked BIG TIME on ebay for California residents that were afraid of the radioactive cloud that they were sure was coming their way from japan.

      So we need a potassium iodide OzBargain deal…

        Or some deals on remedial science courses for any Ozbargainers who weren't paying attention in high school science class and need the entire concept of how radiation works explained to them again by people who know what they're talking about, i.e. not Fox news or tinfoil hat-wearing internet "experts".

        1) A crowd-sourced, trustworthy radiation monitoring site:
        http://blog.safecast.org/worldmap/#
        http://blog.safecast.org/about/

        2) An idiot's guide to radiation and how various dosages compare:
        http://xkcd.com/radiation/

        Get it? Good.

      So, I'm getting the impression that it wasn't a particularly amicable separation! ;)

        He was a retarded asperger genius when we were together, but I left off the retarded bit back then.
