You beat me - I did the same and yes, it is still there as first. What concerns me is teh fact that there is no way of checking bucket from which it is being sold. I would never ever buy such ticket.
Also, considering that you cannot buy even C class on QF for that price, I would be immediatelly VERY suspicious...

Bestflights either need to honour it and take a loss, OR they refund you and you report to ACCC.

I really love their "Fare Conditions" - http://www.bestflights.com.au/inform...airlineCode=QF
In particularl I am amazed how they stress out that they are under WA jurisdiction...

I had a booking with BestFlight HKG-CAN and had exactly the same e-ticket as this booking. It does staten on this booking that:
Your Booking Reference is:
xxxxxx (I have withheld this)
This is your e-ticket. Please print and carry with you at all times when travelling.
Still waiting to hear back from BF.... Never had a problem with them before....

If you intend to fly on this as an F fare, make sure you have ticket numbers in hand (and, even better, charges shown on your credit card statement) before contacting the TA. Otherwise, they can just cancel the ticket and are not liable for anything because no ticket was ever issued.

Plug your xxxxxx booking reference into www.checkmytrip.com; if ticketed the ticket number would be revealed:
e-ticket numbers
You might like to try the LAN utility as well, if it works it should show fare basis and tax breakdown:

Lastminute.com over here in the UK is showing a similar price for QF LHR>MEL>LHR in F = £2003.70 I called Lastminute.com and they confirmed this price, but I have a feeling that the bloke in the call centre didn't really understand, even when I asked him if this was an error in their system.
I guess the question is - do I go ahead and book and then have a fight with lastminute.com?
Looking at their Ts & Cs:
Where we act as agent this will mean that we have no contractual liability to you in respect of that product. However, we may still be liable to you if we have been negligent, we have misrepresented important information or have been in breach of any other relevant law
Clearly they will have misrepresented important information by getting the fare class wrong but I wonder if I am likely to get my money back or to get the trip in F?
