When do Intra-Australia Qantas tickets open up?
« on: December 11, 2014, 09:18:20 PM »
The title says it all.
I know I am planning far ahead- but if I am travelling in June, when can I expect tickets to open?
There is great availability some days and none others.

My question is if the airline will release more seats closer to the date of the flight.......
I do understand that some days currently have better availability than others.

Have you tried Virgin Austrila using Krisflyer miles?

A senior steward told me 2 weeks ago that they release 10% off the seats left close to the flight... meaning if there is 10 seats left they'll release 1 seat, but I understand that they will give priority to Qantas top tier members, basically nothing you can gain from it

Based on this, I think I will just book the flights now. I need 3 a flight and most are business so dont want to lose them.

I am looking for seats for flights within Australia. They apparently open at least three for these.
I already have the international tickets booked in F.
Thanks
