Lucas, Now that you have slightly elaborated I now know what you mean by a 'sorry sale' :)

I take back what i said and have removed my initial comment out of respect, due to lack of information provided in your first post

After posting the same thread on numerous other forums, they seemed to understand on my first post

Lukas (I spelt your name right this time!)
Some people here myself included were confused and didn't get the drift of the thread, 'however' we now understand what you meant/mean....


Lets hope its a bit easier to get tickets in this sale..
I wish they would break it up and have half of the JetMail customers 'try' and get tickets between say 6-7 pm and the rest 7-8 with different links. maybe so it wasn't such a massive hit at once?!?!

Any other ideas or suggestions people? :confused:

And i don't think getting more bandwidth etc on JQ.com will help, nothing can cope with such a massive 'hit' at once

A bigger variety of flights would be great too - SYD-OOL/AVV are getting boring.

Perhaps that's more a reflection of the quality of the other forums? :cool:

Not so. I've tried that for the last 2 sales and they flatly refuse.

Same here, all they said was the website is the only way to go :(

They make sure their website crashes then refuse to take those bookings by phone. That way they only sell a really small number of $1 tickets and the rest can still be sold at normal prices. Great way of having a sale and not really selling all the allocated $1 flights.

And yet despite all the bitching and moaning you will continue to try and get the sale fare everytime just on the off chance you will get through...

Such is life...

Do you have any proof? If the website has crashed, how do they sell the normal price tickets? Those people wanting $1 airfares aren't going to just come back and pay for normal priced tickets... especially after feeling ripped off for missing out on $1 airfares!
