This is almost as bad as the LAN site and it keeps freezing up on me. I guess July is winter there so there should be alot of seats.

Oh, jeez. One of those deals.

Are folks really still finding seats for June and July?

So far, the best I can do is find 1 seat in June, and that one already disappeared.

Is anyone seeing any dates which still work? I am trying their entire calendar but can't find any cheap V Saver fares.

I had initially found some for June but I started messing around a bit with the dates and now I'm not getting anything. Seems very erratic.

Dates are coming up erratically. Some are still there, but not the easiest to find.

Seats are definitely still there, you just have to look.

I just booked 5 seats LAX-SYD-LAX. ~$473 ai/pp

Late June -> Mid July.

PDF'd the confirmation screen.

Now we need to figure out what to do.

Thanks OP.

Do you guys think they will honour this fare? What is the probability of this happening?

Confirmed an hour ago: $484 LAX-SYD-LAX, early July.

This would be my first trip to Australia. Thanks so much!



BTW, I printed out the confirmation page and took a screenshot of it, just in case... Hopefully there won't be any problems with this booking.

Not sure why the site is doing what it's doing, but more is involved now than "knowing where to look."

Unless there's a double-super secret here.

I found the deal earlier but now it's not even letting u select the US site . you need to know a little technical detail to get to the US site, however, could not find the $484 after 9 EDT . Good luck!
