Yeah I can't post here as rep posts are limited each week, but for my own mailing list I'm running a script to find all the cheaper dates and there are a few dotted around, but mainly Wed and Thurs are better chances of getting the $49 rate.
If it helps, I went through the dates to find all the $49 fares, in each direction.

New old route. I flew BNE-AVV back in the noughties.
AVV is not Melbourne.
I'm acutely aware of that, hence we landed at Avalon Airport and not Tullamarine.
notice how its one way? remember jetstar doesn't guarantee you will get a flight back lol.
Avalon shouldn't really be trying to pass itself off as a Melbourne Airport, when it is really Geelong's Airport
Standard airport practice. There are airports similarly far from London that brand themselves as a London airport.
My favourite was RyanAir's Vienna 'airport'. In Bratislava - ie in a different country.
Just I think its a little old as most Australians know its nowhere Melbourne, at best your only getting a couple of extra passengers. Its easier to pull of something like this in Europe where people know next to nothing about Cities in other countries but here I think more people are clued up on these things.
In fairness, Avalon Airport is only 5km further from Melbourne's GPO than the new airport in Sydney is from the centre of town.
Melbourne has about 20x the population of Geelong, so no surprise that they're trying to emphasise that Avalon is an option, even if, as you say, the name is not going to fundamentally change most people's minds.
Love a new route - thanks OP!
How does someone park at Avalon? Parking there is extremely expensive
decent deal.
on other note - I always wondered if Avalon airport has served its purpose. I mean 2 airlines serves 4 destinations. Some of the regional town would have more flights/destinations.
Yeah it's just sputtering along, not doing enough to provide any real price competition for Tullamarine.
And Tullamarine has a proposal in to build another parallel runway, which will enable it to continue to keep up with air traffic demand in Melbourne for decades to come. Avalon's big long-term hope was probably Tullamarine hitting capacity.
Parking at Avalon have gone up and is expensive, better flight out of Melbourne Airport park at long term
I thought the same, I don't mind a slight extra drive for a $200 or so saving but the parking there is outrageous.
Had a look and must be bait advertising with only a small number of $49 fares.
