[UNBOOKABLE] HA: LAX-SYD RT $283? Farecompare email
GOt the alert from Farecompare, looks like limited days of the week but through the end of schedule.
The big question... is it real? Don't see it yet.

Interesting. Farecompare is pretty unreliable when it comes to these crazy fares. There were several south pacific fares this year that never panned out. We'll see in a few hours if this is real, though.

$283 appears to be o/w?
I also just got the FC email. When I followed through and tried to price out a ticket, it appears that the $283 fare is o/w on Volare. From what I can find, Volare was an Italian Low Fare Airline that went bankrupt a few years back?
Cheapest I could find on Hawaiian is $595 o/w.
I got lucky and booked the Virgin Australia tix for June '09. I thought I was about to go visit the land down under two times in '09!
YMMV.

It is also listed at $283 AI from SEA. I've been looking and can't find it anywhere. If anyone does, let me know.
Some other flights on HA ex-SEA filed under this fare:
Manila $539
Pago Pago $624
Papeete $647
