Heads Up: Trans-tasman on Happy hour

[Steve Jones]

First time I've seen this - flights to CHC ex MEL/SYD/BNE have turned up on Virgin's happy hour for $129 each way (presumably all inclusive)

Just checked - $14 each way ex taxes, total return $232.75. Not a bad deal!

[Lukas M]

Yeah, saw that and had a play around in which there was great availability. Is a bummer that you only have less than 1hour to decide though to think it all through. Dont know if we will see it much more often, as they must have had slow NZ sales due to that $144 Jetstar one which is still great, rather a 737 though

"Grab-a-seat" had some $119 fares ex CHC-BNE CHC-OOL CHC-MEL CHC-SYD, last week

[Steve Jones]

And today Sydney-Tonga and Sydney-Samoa for $199 and $229 respectively for the next month or so...
