Still reasonable quantities left at 999, but it is now lunchtime.

By the looks of it, KIX will have some really low fares today. I wish I had the time to go.

799 - just a few seats left for SFO & LAX, not too many for PVG either. KIX & NRT have quite a lot left.

Says Japanese routes don't get much O&D traffic.

I was trying for KIX, but the cheapest fare I was getting was over $1k for all date combinations between 2-14 June.... *this was while KIX was still shoing a load of grab a seats!)

There was a 6 day max stay - might that have been the issue with the dates you were looking for?

Was the "Global Saver" fare for today's sale good for accumulating miles in Star Alliance partner's programs (eg UA and BD)? I couldn't find the fare/booking class.

No. Grab-a-seat always books into P class and is non-earning on all programs (including Air NZ Airpoints).

Seems like they're trying to backfill some SYD-ZQN flights (probably because of the Winter Festival):

ZQN-SYD (oneway only) $149 21Jun08-02Jul08
AKL-SYD (oneway only) $119 21Jul08-23Jul08

The AKL-SYD is 21Jul08-23Jul08, thus unrelated to Winter Festival.
