Given the introduction of the new fare classes (Saver, Flex, Premium) and the subsequent reduction in price of flexi fares - PE seats can be had for a discount through the current PE Taster Upgrade offer (till 31 Aug 11).

PE fares include lounge access, enhanced seating (where available), IFE (where available) and any items from the Buy On Board menu at no charge.

The offer is to upgrade flexi fares to premium on the day of departure by calling the Guest Contact Centre or Velocity Contact Centre (For DJ Gold's).

Costs are as shown below (points OR dollars):

Your Flight Time Velocity Points AUD$

Less than 90 minutes 3,900 Points $35 AUD

90 - 180 minute 5,400 Points $50 AUD

and/or formal connections

and good value they are too, if there are seats available.

Be aware they are only available by calling, and not on departure through the lounge.

Good point. I forget this offer is available a lot of the time. Got a couple of MEL-PER flights coming up and very tempted to do it on the longer sectors. Hopefully they will have a similar arrangement when they move the whole fleet from P/E to business.

no, only the points and SC of the original booking class.
