In Reply to: still on Thurs morn- bris to bali $789.. posted by koby on Thursday, 11. September 2008 at 05:11 Bali Time:
Last night the sale price was $486 return including taxes and 20kg luggage ex Brisbane. Yes I agree the 3 hour stopover in Darwin is not too bad even if it is at 3am. At least you don't have the mucking around of changing terminals with all your gear as you do in Sydney. A few degrees warmer also - not such a shock to the body in the middle of winter.
Very clever marketing by Jetstar. Whilst Virgin Blue has been receiving press re commencing flights to Bali from Brisbane all was quiet over at Jetstar and they have sneaked in under the radar and stole VB's thunder.
The sale was for 3 hours and the jetmail only received a short time prior to the 8pm start. Right after the showing of Bondi Bali Rescue when everyone is thinking - gee I wish I was there right now.
Isn't competition wonderful - I wonder when VB are going to show their cards.
