Managed to get nothing just times out, spent a good 45 mins or so trying and got through to payment a number of times, process payment and eventually just says error/security time out/out of service...

these kind of promotions where it is next to impossible to get seats do more harm than good i reckon - just pisses people off

why not stagger the availability a bit more, there was nothing on offer during the early hours of the morning as there usually is

Some of the flights are very short notice, and $699 x a few people is still expensive for most. Still, good deals if it works well for you and still earn airpoints

Tokyo and Osaka are repeated again today. I guess they didn't sell enough yesterday. Same price.

It appears that its just a continuation from yesterday, aka no new seats added.

If you like late notice for quick June Travel, AKL-MEL for $145 and AKL-BNE for $155 which ends tommorow
