    Oh no! It looks like we may have moved the page you were looking for, or it may not exist anymore.

  • hooray on 07/05/2012 - 16:02

    NO SALE? Page moved ? oops got to wait till 5pm

  • atrix on 07/05/2012 - 16:03

    a couple of things-
    you need to be a jetmail member to book this from 5pm. you get a link in your email to book.
    public sale does not start till 6am tommorrow.

    it looks like it wont show the fares available to be booked until 5pm- when the jetmail sale starts

  • irajohn90 on 07/05/2012 - 16:36

    Not a single flight from or to Perth. -1 from me.

    BTW - The sale is up now. :-)

    • GaelicAU on 07/05/2012 - 17:20

      I stand corrected. There are flights from and to Perth, but the drop down list shows nothing when I select departing Perth. If youre from WA, just do a CTRL+F.

    • kulprit on 07/05/2012 - 17:20

      At least some from Perth, don't select from the drop down list, just search the page.

    • kikoprincess on 07/05/2012 - 17:28

      Trying to get OOL to perth, but can't find any in dates… still comes up at full price.

    Not as good as prior Jetstar Birth day sales. Looking from past Ozbargain posts, the Jetstar birthday sales are usually in June? Did Jetstar change their birth date?

    • voteoften on 07/05/2012 - 17:40

      I think it was in June last year and may the year before.

  • Cattaby on 07/05/2012 - 17:27

    Even though I've selected birthday day flights, once I get to the customer check out area it doesn't register the
    'friend flies free' thing.

    Anyone else getting this?

    Happy with teh prces. Not happy with the dates. They are a joke. The only time I could go to Singapore would be a long w/e in March. 10 months out isn't all that great in my opinion.

    There are tix for SYD - Phuket in Feb/March. Those might be good for people who have bought group buy accommodation vouchers for Phuket.

    It doesn't list any Sydney to Tokyo flights on that link but try clicking on Gold Coast to Tokyo then click to step 1 then select Sydney as your origin, and then click continue. When I did it, it showed a bunch of 2 for 1 flights. It might work for other destinations too.

      • bargainjargon on 08/05/2012 - 09:46

        Weird, I just did a Sydney to Manila one way. I would've booked return but I won't be returning within the sale period so I'll just fly back with someone else.

        • bargainjargon on 08/05/2012 - 15:45

          Ahh gotcha. I didn't try it the other way so I didn't know. Sorry it didn't work out :( That would've been my preferred way to go as well if a) it was available and b) if I could actually go to Japan during the travel period.

  • aec on 07/05/2012 - 20:24

    Works for me. Planning my next ski trip to Japan already!
    Prices are pretty good at $469pp for Gold Coast —> Tokyo.
    Did you remember to pick 2 passengers coz I forgot to at first and was wondering why I couldn't get the sale fares to show.

    • petepjs on 07/05/2012 - 22:20

      Worked for me booked Per to DPS in March and Per to Melbourne in October. Thks for the heads up

      Im thinking he same trip.. is that a good price? Ive seen it cheaper for Japan specific sales

      • azz on 09/05/2012 - 18:41

        It's not exactly half price but it's not too bad considering the last few flights I got to Japan were about $700-900pp return in Dec/Jan when not on special. I couldn't find any friends that could get leave for next year though so trip for me :(

        Guess I'll just have to wait for the Konnichiha specials where it'll hopefully be $500pp without the need to book 2 people.

  • MrMaxwell on 07/05/2012 - 22:50

    Now SYD-HKT is $459! Keep upping those prices Jetstar….I'll stick to Scoot and Air Asia.

  • fatbelly on 07/05/2012 - 23:00

    Jetstar web page is so clumsy and I just got cut off in the middle of booking the fare and the price just doubled! Not happy

  • Koolbargain on 07/05/2012 - 23:59

    Definitely not much of a sale, in fact some prices are higher than normal 'real' sale fares. eg. Flights to Japan are about $30 more than a proper Japan Sale from Gold Coast at least. I would definitely wait for proper sales at a later date before going ahead with these.

    • jaygee on 08/05/2012 - 05:24

      You get 2 tickets for the price of 1?

      • Koolbargain on 08/05/2012 - 09:01

        I'm saying compared to normal Japan Sales the price is quite higher. Yes you get 2 'full priced' tickets for the price of 1, which is cheaper indeed. But the reasons why this is not as good as proper Japan sales:
        1. Cost comes out more expensive to other Japan sales(eg. $235 both ways, compared to the usual $220 and $199 back)
        2. Does not half the cost per person like previous Jet* deals, it really is one person flies for free. Therefore, if you have three people, the third pays the cost of two sale fares. So you need an even number of people, and also cannot fly alone.

        • m0nkeycheese on 08/05/2012 - 09:45

          I agree with U but do you reckon the Carbon Tax will make the flights more expensive later in the year??

  • cloudy on 08/05/2012 - 08:16

    Got slugged 60 bucks for luggage, can't just get luggage for one, what a rip. credit card fee was also for 4 for a round trip, another 50 bucks. Cheap fares, scam fees.

    • bargainjargon on 08/05/2012 - 08:44
      +1

      There's a clickable pull down thing where I could've selected luggage for just one person. I didn't try it though since I didn't need it so I don't know how well it would've worked.

      • ugoagogo on 08/05/2012 - 09:25
        +1

        on the second page you can get luggage for one but its twice the price as the first page…so either way they get the same money….

  • m0nkeycheese on 08/05/2012 - 09:43

    Does anyone know if the prices will increase when the Carbon Tax is introduced July 1? Trying to decide to book Japan flights or not :(

    • Trance N Dance on 08/05/2012 - 09:55

      I know Qantas will up their fares after July 1st.

      Or you know, you could just make dummy bookings one for now and another for after July 1st (that's how I found out Qantas was upping the fares)

      • m0nkeycheese on 08/05/2012 - 10:15

        Im going in November so maybe the flights have it included already?

      • m0nkeycheese on 08/05/2012 - 19:14

        Did a test it was cheaper July the 1st… Go figure

        • Trance N Dance on 08/05/2012 - 20:56

          They're having a sale on right now, they usually do whenever Jetstar does.

  • DevvaR on 08/05/2012 - 11:40

    I've got 2 other people going with me to Japan from Melbourne late nov-early dec, anyone want to join in to make it 4? :)

  • unifex on 08/05/2012 - 12:16

    Not great deals where Ive been looking. By the time you factor their luggage in (and their terrible website) the qantas fair is virtually identical.
    Adelaide - > Sydney for 3 people (so should be 2 fairs) in November

    Qantas $840
    JetStar $823

    Add food and inflight service and your ahead on qantas.

    • bwilso06 on 08/05/2012 - 12:50

      I think you may be doing something wrong, I just tested in November
      Adelaide-> Sydney return for 3 adults including baggage and it came to $572

      • unifex on 15/05/2012 - 19:43

        not sure how it could be wrong.

  • SAVE FERRIS on 08/05/2012 - 15:20

    Weeee, booked! Gold Coast to Tokyo in March 2013. Had to attempt it twice because halfway through the first booking, it decided to forget that this was for TFFF (happened to someone else in here too). Tried again and it remembered to the end.

    Price may not be as amazing as some of the previous Japan sales but it's still better than when we went three years ago.

    Still contemplating if I should also do a boy's trip to Bangkok in October… Hmmm.

  • zukand on 08/05/2012 - 16:08

    Mmmmm
    Is it possible to get two seats for yourself, pay the extra for the plus package and earn twice the FF points + status credits? This might be handy since I do a lot of nigilated flying :(

  • slikstick on 08/05/2012 - 21:59

    Pretty happy. 2 return flights to Singapore for a total $620, now to look at some connecting flights…

    Thanks for this!

    Got 2 return tickets to Japan with 25kgs baggage and meals and Qantas frequent flyer points for about $900 return!

    Cost me over $3000 flying Malaysian Airlines each time I have been before.
