Saver Lite fares gone?
Has anyone else noticed the Saver Lite column of fares gone from search results on the virginaustralia web site? It's been a couple of days now for me.

As of the 17th March, VA have done away with saver light fares (except for Trans Tasman).

All fares will now include complimentary luggage across the network. This change has been made as a result of strong customer feedback and streamlines the airline's product offering.
We are retaining a single booking class on Trans-Tasman sectors as bagless to maintain parity with our Trans-Tasman partner Air New Zealand. All ticketed Saver Lite fares remain valid.
