Flight to the Gold Coast from $48.
Gold Coast - Sydney from $48
Gold Coast - Melbourne from $88
Gold Coast - Canberra from $88
Gold Coast - Adelaide from $108
Travel between 28 October 2012 and 1 August 2013. Meals and baggage included in every class, on every flight.
the term "meal" is probably fairly subjective.
Well if it's during Breakfast, Lunch or Dinner it's a 'meal'. Any other time it's snack. People don't normally eat 'meals' outside these times. It's still better than flying with anyone else.
But it's a shame QF seems to only offer all their destinations via SYD.
I meant Qantas' definition of a meal on domestic flights. Sydney to Melbourne flights usually only have a bag of cookie and a bottle of juice. I think it was slightly better with a pie when I flew from Brisbane to Melbourne a couple years back. So does this fit your definition of a "meal"?
(Although Sydney to Perth was an actual "meal")
When was the last time you flew domestic?
Soup is a meal - Bania
Was it a cup or a bowl?
Did he crumble any crackers in it?
I agree garrett getting chucked a muffin & an apple doesn't constitute a meal.
But it's great to have them back, as they're resurrecting the QC @ Coolie - yeah!
I wonder how many Jetstar flights they'll be replacing them with Qantas.
I suspect they'll be flying around the same time as Tiger, so Jetstar no longer have to price beat…
Who the hell needs a meal on a 1-2 hour flight? Heck I flew to Japan without a meal just fine. Qantas really seems to be stuck in the past. Don't complain that your company isn't profitable.
Thats pretty typical for all airlines these days, and there is always BPAY.
FYI, also available the other way round. i.e. Gold Coast - Sydney = $48
Qantas doesn't fly from Melbourne to Gold coast but Jetstar does, redirects to Jetstar on this route which is cheaper than $88 on some flights anyway.
Qantas is now starting to fly to the Gold Coast
via Sydney.
Melbourne flights seem to be via Sydney with long waits at some times.
5 hours + to get to gc from adelaide as all flights go via melbourne or sydney and no cheaper than jetstar normal prices and there direct! !
damn canberra-melbourne sold out :/
I know how supply and demand works but I don't see how it should cost twice as much to fly from Canberra to Gold Coast as it does from Sydney to Gold coast, the distance difference is 20 minutes in the air.
I suppose I shouldn't complain, at least they ARE doing direct flights.
(oh wait, Canberra to Gold Coast is via Sydney? ugh, back to Virgin)
You obviously don't understand how supply and demand works…
wait howd you find this? an email or is this when they do their sales normally?
Qantas email went out this afternoon to people on their mailing list.
i found this on their facebook page
aww lame i didnt get an email
Just got the email sent out to me now dammit. Is,it because I havent flown with them ever
Read the website… Qantas is flying to the Gold Coast from October
Why do people like you always make a claim without even considering a google search ? Gosh
This is cheap for the Xmas NY period. While they last anyway
Saved me a heap for Christmas travel, so more present money! Just need another printer sale….
Try to book from Mel and get this: "Flights between Melbourne and Gold Coast are operated by Jetstar or one of Jetstar's partner airlines. To book these flights you will need to go to Jetstar.com."
You need to select a travel date between 28 October 2012 and 1 August 2013
thx. my bad. saw the heading, got excited and went straight to the site without reading the rest :-)
Ermm… Don't know if you can, but can we price beat with Jetstar? LOL
Just not sure because Jetstar is under Qantas :S
for christ sake, is it really worth the saving of $4.80 to fly Shitstar?
For a direct flight- yes
You are on the wrong forum…..if you are asking that question…..
My understanding is Jetstar only price beats like for like. i.e. it has to be a direct flight
Thanks for this - booked my flights for March next year. Have not flown QANTAS in at least 12 years.
i can't seem to get the specials FROM GC, after OCT28?
(works now.. i didn't have 'flexible with dates' selected)
Zelda707 you legend!
Thanks so mate. I needed to book a OOL-SYD flight in Jan 2013.
So glad I waited, and didn't book with JetStar straight away =P
glad I was able to help you out!
No flights from Brisbane :(
Brisbane to Gold Coast would be a bit pointless :)
there are no flights from the gold coast to the gold coast either…
website crashes when I try
Better than crashing when u fly…..
Great! Snagged a cheap flight home for Xmas. Bargain at $96
Thanks OP. Saved myself a 1200km car trip with 2 young kids.
Thanks OP!!!
Fly with the only domestic airline operating to and from the Gold Coast which includes a meal and baggage allowance for all passengers, in every class, on every flight.
