Hi,
The promotion of BAH downunder continues. This travel article, a 'BAH for Dummies' type backgrounder, adds to the range of ads in print media.
It covers the history of the state, general do's and don'ts (but misses some of the pearls of advice in this forum!)

One query - the cost of Y fares for travel in '06 has seemingly risen by A$500 for SYD-DUB!
I wonder if there was some kind of new-route discount there that has been phased out. Has anyone noticed this for the DUB and JNB routes?

Thanks for the link a good and accurate read.
The DUB fares were prob promos for sure.

Enjoy CJ :)

Any specials - act quickly!
If you are considering travel on a promo fare, book it ASAP as the fare buckets sell FAST.
A June SYD-DUB promo (almost as good as Dec05) is pretty much already sold out for whatever dates I've tried (AU$500-700 more!).

I'd love to try a BOGOF Mastercard promo for F, which SAtransplant(?) or others have used on flights BKK-LHR, if it is offered outside the UK.

On the upgraded A340 ex-SYD ^

OT again, there seems to be some promotion of Dublin in Sydney, aimed at Sydney commuters. I hope they fly another airline :)
