Scoopon offers first group buying deal for flights

With the company’s intention to carve out a position as the ‘champion’ for the Aussie shopper with bigger, higher value items, Scoopon has offered its first group buying deal ofr the air travel sector as follows,

Just $599 to FLY RETURN from Melbourne to Phuket DIRECT - Normally $2298! Includes ALL Taxes + 30kg Luggage + Meals + Free-Flowing Drinks (beer, wine & soft drinks) + In-Flight Entertainment! Date Changes Allowed PLUS Get $100 Off Your Next Flight! Visit Paradise for a Slice of the Price!

The deal went live at noon of 15 July 2011, and sold out with 2001 buyers. But some people still worry about the Strategic Airlines, as they have real problems with capacity. When they have to cancel a flight due to technical or mechanical issues, there are no planes available to replace the flight.
