Nope, not yet. They were supposed to start in December of this year, but due to the Boeing strike they delayed their start til 2/28.

The lowest OW I'm seeing right now, starting 2/28 and going, is about 580. Am I missing something?

I am also finding $177 o/w Brisbane to LAX on April 22. I have not been able to find anything yet that works on the outbound. If the other way is also $177, the fare will be $354!!!

Yes....I could not figure out how to do a multi-city search to take advantage of lower outbounds to Sydney. You get free stop-overs, so booking to Brisbane made sense to me, as you travel there via Sydney.

I don't think I am alone in thinking that this is a error fare and that someone forgot to put a 1 in front of the saver fares. Either way I am going to go to Oz cheap. Cheers.

I booked a flight LAX-SYD in April for $484. If they aren't up and running by then, I think they're doomed.

I just couldn't pass this up. It is easily half of what it would normally cost.

I couldn't get the one-ways to work either. I really wanted to go LAX-SYD and BNE-LAX, but I'll deal.

I can see the date tabs with the low prices but there are no buttons available to pick the cheap flights.

OP here. I would agree. From looking at the website, the fares should go Promo, Deal, Saver, Flexi from cheapest to most expensive. Oh well. No such thing as bad publicity. I barely knew this airline existed until I found the fare.

Under Saver fares, there's no radio buttons for $216 and then $268?

Earlier posts indicate that you call after the deal is dead to arrange your stopovers.

By the way.....the deal is already posted on the Slickdeals website.
