Your whinge is that you are booking a trip to Bali where you will be surfing all day, getting massages and eating great food and drinking beer all night.

Line me up for that whinge?


Yes, the flight looks a little expensive. Fly with another company.......

Syd-Bali is usually $700-$800 return isn't it? $600 is about as good as you'll usually get. If you get it for $500 you are lucky.

From memory, the going rate in about 1995 was also $800 including 5 nights 3-star accomm....

The link to the second image just comes up as an error even on a copy and paste, so we still can't see wot u'r on about.
Maybe the difference in price is because of a carbon tax?

I just repeated your transaction and got a similar result.

What I did was accidentally click on the business class upgrade for the flights.

I thought I then clicked on the non-business class selection but either it didn't register, or I didn't do it right. I then ended up with some very expensive tickets.

Either way, I went through the process again and it worked perfectly.

It's a little bit confusing how they offer you two flights side-by-side. It looks like departure and return flights. In fact you have to scroll down and make a selection for the return flight.

The performance on the Jetstar web site was fast enough so it was no drama to go back and repeat the transaction.

Wait until you get a family.

Also the flight times on first page and second page are different, sure they are the same flights?

Last year I went to Zurich with Emirate for $ 2200.00 and it was a discounted price as well.... so they said????!!!!! Between Dubai and Zurich had the worst plane ever been in.... cabin was old and seats stained with broken setup going on the resting position at an angle, the TV screen would not stay up and the foot rest was gone!
Food was the usual bad but booze was plentiful if you could be bothered to walk down the ales to the galley as they would just ignore your call after you had 2 beers!

I notice your departure times on
Page 1 - 17:20pm Sydney, 23:10pm Dempasar

are different to the departure times on
Page 2 - 12:15pm Sydney, 23:50pm Dempasar.

Could this account for the discrepency in the price?
