Was bound to happen just after I booked but hopefully it might help some others.

Jetstar is currently having a sale on international flights including Tokyo in January (from the 16th) for my dates it would have worked out a couple of hundred cheaper.

if you dont mind me asking

how much did you buy for and how much is it with this sale? (after all the trimmings added)

for ex sydney 16th - 27th
i got ...$898.05 - 1 Adult
20kg each way

shortest transit in cairns time
cause sitting around in cairns airport is the balls!

Jetstar have a tendency to not put the actual price in their adverts

hmmm hardly call that really cheap
its only fair in my books considering the mammoth transit time

I’m travelling the exact same dates but with 25kg, the plus package for the way over, standard on the way back, entertainment unit both ways, comfort pack one way total was around $1240 at the time I knew it wasn’t a great price but I’d given up on any sales during the school holidays which is when I needed to travel

they would be the same dates cause i used your old post to get the quotes LOL

hmmm extra 5kg luggage each way was 60 bucks i think
i dont know how much you are paying for the packs but add those on too
i never look at those stuff because ...well they are a total rip

still don’t consider it a massive saving but yeah it is slightly discounted

think of it this way…
at least you had the piece of mind to book everything else early so you can secure your them at a cheaper rate?? maybe??

Haha well that would explain the dates smile

Didn’t really end up saving anything by booking early and I’m actually intentionally avoiding looking at any other deals at this stage for fear of seeing a bargain.

Having said that it’s just money and who am I to complain I’m going to Japan to snowboard and I’m getting pretty excited about it!
