Travel & Holidays Cheap Flights Within Australia

What do you do to get the cheap flights?

We were getting 4 trips pa with Virgin as we had a platinum credit card, unfortunately they no longer do this... damn.

We have alerts for cheap flights, this is hit and miss, OK deals sometimes.

Just signed up AMX credit card, Platinum? this gives us 1 free trip pa in Australia.

Was told to use Skyscanner for cheap deals, however apparently if you keep hitting this site the prices will continue to rise, Big Brother..

Looking for any tips

 

you could try www.directflights.com.au
I always Seem to get good international flight prices through them

 

Need to be next level above platinum for cards in my experience.

Or just hunt out for specials as they come up. Need to be patient though and dates available might not always suit.

 

I Want That Flight (IWTF) seems to come up with cheap flights on a regular basis (more so international than local). It looks like you can sign up for alerts to cheap flights, though I've not done so. YMMV.

When I'm looking at flights and thinking and the price starts to go up, I change from Safari to Firefox, or vice versa.. then the machine doesn't know its you!.. Im also restart will do the same thing?
I hope this helps

 

Yeah I agree, there is also conspiracy surrounding the "eyes in the pokie machines".
Never put your membership card in otherwise it will recognise you, also never put money in to them too fast otherwise it will think same person and eat it up, always bring a couple of wigs and some sunnies in case of camera with facial recognition.

 

If cheap is your thing just keep your eyes open. I've seen great specials advertised on this site for Tiger. I read an article on fairfax that Scoot is introducing one way flights from Perth to Athens for $369 - take a jacket the wing can get a bit chilly.

 

Check out Jetstar platinum cards

 

lucky for me not into pokies, what a rort though

 

I suggest some, or all of these:

I just compare Tiger to Jetstar and have Jetstar price match. Saves 10% of the difference as well as not having to pay the credit card booking fee. Just have to make sure the Jetsar flight is within an hour of the Tiger flight.
Usually manage Sydney - Gold Coast return for around $60-80.

 

Heard about this one, very good, cheap cheap.....

 

This.

Typically find the best sales are posted promptly on OzBargain

Recently picked up return flights to Melbourne (from Adelaide) for under $50 per person.

 

thanks for the tip that is pretty damn amazing

 

I do the same. earlier this year booked $60 return cairns from Melbourne and going again for $70 return . from last many weeks tiger comes up with crazy deals every Saturday for limited seats...you gota be quick to pounce on that....

 

You just reminded me that I booked cheap tickets to Cairns. 3rd week of March 2017.

 

Or just don't put money in the stupid things.
