So when they do "SALES" they "sometimes" add a bit of Biz Inventory in the mix?
Any other attractive routes anyone has noticed?
Wish I had seen that yesterday as just booked 2 x Flexi fares SYD-Perth as I had 4 Plat upgrade certs expiring.
I noticed the A330 Flights are bit dearer than the 737 flights. The ADL route is good for SC, but not for in flight comfort.
Interestingly for anyone seeking SC, adding Kalgoorlie as the destination, added only $30 or so, yet added 20 x SC each legs.

Ross yes .. that was good advice, many thanks, and made even cross country Flexi fares look more palatable.
~$2,500 is absolutely no "Bargain" for cross country coach fares, but the exrades were turning to dust in 2 hours .....

And just got this today which may in turn assist others - on $5000 Biz fares, a huge saving.
Seems to imply in fine print, you can book on Virgin website to get it ... not sure how they'd track that.

Business SYD-HTI sells out regularly fwiw. It's a longish flight and people heading there for special occasions and connecting from international... I have noticed a lot of Americans in the Business cabin to Hamilton Island.
