Melbourne-Hobart*
Melbourne-Sydney~
Sydney-Brisbane^

MOD: Also from the terms:

"Raw" domestic fares must be purchased online using a MasterCard debit card issued by an Australian financial institution. The "Raw" domestic fare does not incur payment of the AUD8.50 booking fee associated with credit card purchases per passenger, per flight sector. Payment by Visa or MasterCard credit cards or international debit cards is permissable subject to payment of this fee.

So you can purchase with credit card, but would be $8.50 more per flight.

    so hard to find the $10 flights

      It's not really, just avoid school holiday periods and make sure you look between Tuesday and Thursday.

    I was about to post this, but it's already here.

    Don't forget to pricebeat with JetStar…
    $9 flights, 10KG carry-on included and NO BOOKING FEES.

    • arcticmonkey on 19/02/2013 - 14:36

      If you don't support Tiger when they have these deals, you'll no longer see prices like these if they stop operating.

      When Tiger were grounded, JetScum and the rest were much more expensive than Tiger was.

      • cbpeh1 on 19/02/2013 - 14:59
        -3

        But I AM actually supporting Tiger by making Jetstar do the price-match.
        Everyone knows these airlines can't possibly make any money out of such cheap tickets.

        • ranma on 19/02/2013 - 15:12
          +6

          ? So you give Jetstar 9 dollars, and 0 dollars to Tiger. And you're supporting Tiger… how?

        • gummibears on 19/02/2013 - 15:20

          Because Jetstar would be copping the loss rather than Tiger (is what I'm assuming cbpeh1 meant).

        • ranma on 19/02/2013 - 15:35
          +8

          And again - assuming both pay salaries and all the other overheads, and that both planes take off, Jetstar loses (cost to run that flight) - 9 dollars, and Tiger loses (cost to run that flight).

          And you're supporting Tiger how? I don't understand people's logic sometimes, and those that subscribe to it.

          Mind you, I dislike Tiger - but I agree with Arctic Monkey's statement. Going with Jetstar is in NO WAY supporting Tiger.

        • [Deactivated] on 19/02/2013 - 16:31

          I like Tiget simply because it keeps the industry competitive…

        • retiredfeline on 19/02/2013 - 16:38
          +1

          But you could argue equally convincingly that pricebeating supports Tiger. Someone else will take the seat so Tiger gets a full plane anyway, and Jetstar is out of pocket.

        • hahaboy on 19/02/2013 - 18:20

          when the sale is over, the prices will go back to normal prices. Hence, customers will pay higher prices, and it offsets losses for Tiger?

      • jug_head on 19/02/2013 - 16:09

        Yes that is cheap but a $17 booking fee is not usual is it?

        IN any case, as mentioned above, price beat with Jetstar and save the extra dollars?

  • jv on 19/02/2013 - 14:19

    fares must be purchased online using a MasterCard debit card

    :(

      If you read the full T's & C's:

      "Raw" domestic fares must be purchased online using a MasterCard debit card issued by an Australian financial institution. The "Raw" domestic fare does not incur payment of the AUD8.50 booking fee associated with credit card purchases per passenger, per flight sector. Payment by Visa or MasterCard credit cards or international debit cards is permissable subject to payment of this fee.

    It is in our collective interest to book via Jetstar Pricebeat!

    -more available flights, given 1hr flex for equivalent flights
    -the seats on tiger will last longer, thus more time to pricebeat on Jetstar
    -$9 flights after 10% discount
    -$0 booking fee
    - no restriction on payment method

    The number is 1300 369 516

        While I absolutely agree with you, as a past passenger of Tiger I am not willing to fly them. All I can do is take advantage of the price match while it is available.

      • DxxP on 21/02/2013 - 12:36

        I like it. "Think long term" You're obviously not a politician.

    • MITM on 19/02/2013 - 21:40

      Does Virgin pricematch ?

    • the urbanite on 20/02/2013 - 13:56
      +2

      Yes, absolutely. As many OzBargainers as possible should price-match with Jetstar. It lessens the burden on Tiger and allows much more people to take advantage of this sale. Remember, Jetstar will only prime-match if the Tiger flight has free seats. If the Tiger flights get all booked out, no sale.

      The Jetstar Price-match hotline is 1300 369 516 . It will take time to connect( currently 20 mins), but just place your home phone on speakerphone and go about your business. Their phone staff are friendly and efficient and no surcharge for credit card.

    Make sure you book checked in luggage if there is any chance you will exceed 10 kg otherwise they will whack you with a $75 charge for 15 kg. I was under but my companion had been shopping :(

  • toastfacegrillah on 19/02/2013 - 15:27

    Comment above mentions Jetstar has 10kg carry-on, does Tiger not allow any carry on or something?
    Never flown with them before.

    • retiredfeline on 19/02/2013 - 15:31

      Carry on allowance is 10 kg per pax and they enforce it.

    10m passengers. That's lovely. Guess none of them were going to Perth ;)

  • Jimmy6 on 19/02/2013 - 15:55

    Just keep in mind that you will need to research the Jetstar times comparable to Tiger flight times.

    They won't do it for you, as they don't want to encourage pricebeat behaviour.

    If you try to do it on the phone, they get impatient and ask you to call back again when you have the comparative flights

    • donga100 on 20/02/2013 - 11:31

      Can't you just call them and ask if they have a flight around a particular time and then say you want to do a pricebeat?

      Careful that you don't exceed 10kg hand luggage if you didn't prepay for checked in luggage. Ah you edited that to Jetstar, well they're more lenient. Especially if you have used Web check-in and have your boarding pass already.

      • [Deactivated] on 20/02/2013 - 10:56

        Or just box it up and post it to yourself.

          It's not so bad if you have prepaid, starts at $15 for 15kg, and you don't have to find a box and get grief with carding posties later, but woe be you if you didn't prepay, the price takes a big jump. And no you can't pull out your smartphone at the terminal and buy it there and then; pre-purchases close 72 hours before the flight.

  • MITM on 20/02/2013 - 12:10
