  • Clearly an error fare and book while you can on https://www.qantas.com/au/en.html (as it wont last)

  • Normally prices start from $15K +++

  • Many dates available and flights are on the A380

  • Also available from other Australian cities, however slightly more with connecting flight in Business to/from Sydney/Melbourne

  • 36,000 Qantas points available to be earned

  • No guarantees it will be honoured by Qantas, but worth a try (check the booking images uploaded as evidence)

Please don't go booking any accommodation until the ticket is issued by Qantas, and money taken out of the account (maybe also wait a few days)

      Unlikely to get cancelled. Usually a large disorganised company like Qantas won’t even notice this error.

      • cynicor on 23/08/2024 - 08:23

        Yeah nah. With only a few F seats they will 100% easily notice this. Also the fact that it’s plastered over the internet.

        • mini2 on 23/08/2024 - 10:35

          With some of their negative press, I reckon they could bump people down to business for the same price and see if there are any takers before enforcing the T&C.

    Good luck to those who attempted to buy. Genuinely hope it works. Given the last few years, Joycie, sackings after government money for Covid, squeezing out competition, phantom booking to keep Sydney slots, refund issues etc it’s be good if they somehow got gamed.

      You can put a sleeping bag on the floor of your bathroom and simulate the experience for only a few dollars.

      So when locked in the bathroom, you can lie flat all the way for many hours, which is awesome! You can serve yourself $0.20 cups of orange juice and drink as much as you want. Same goes for champagne, or scoop yourself a small bowl of ice cream etc. And set up an ipad so you can watch movies on netflix.

  • calinya on 23/08/2024 - 09:29

    This is a good deal for those that got it. I was looking at 4am and saw SYD-JFK for $2199 (QF to LAX and then AA from LAX to JFK)- so cheap at various dates. NYE, end of Jan, April school holidays. You would see the sale fare at $2199 and then the days on either side were like $14,200. Crazy!! 270 status credits too. But yeh, didn't book.

    • sabrelli on 23/08/2024 - 09:50

      booked me and kid SYD-JFK just before xmas for 8.5k - just a waiting game to see if it will honoured

  • Thebuckstopshere on 23/08/2024 - 09:50

    Something else to consider for the value proposition is that First SYD<>LAX return is 540 status credits on its own. A connecting flights itinerary to the US East Coast or from somewhere other than Sydney would easily push it over 700 SC earn to get instant Gold status to get lounge access for the next membership year.

    Shame I missed the deal!

    Bad news. My pay-later cart just updated.

    Your booking is on hold, the total ticket price may change due to changes in taxes, fees and carrier charges, as well as fare adjustments.
    New Amount Due
    AUD $45,907.40

    Holding Guarantee = AUD $50.00
    This will be refunded to the card charged when full payment is made online.

      • odysseus on 23/08/2024 - 11:23

        Doubt it because it's covered by their terms.

        Of course, you could try to argue the case through their call centre, but that's probably more aggravation than its worth - and given it's covered by their terms, unlikely to be successful.

        • DSOTM on 23/08/2024 - 11:25

          Yep, only fifty bucks. It was worth a shot though.
