Domestic Air Fare Indexes
Change to the air fares collection: The Full Economy Fare category which previously consisted solely of Qantas' Fully Flexible Fare has been expanded to include Virgin Blue's Corporate Plus Fare from February 2008. This has led to a drop in the index for this category in February 2008.
Indexes prior to July 2003 were constructed using airfares collected using SABRE Pacific's Computer Reservations System. SABRE Pacific does not warrant the accuracy of any of the data provided by its System. Under no circumstances will SABRE Pacific be liable for the loss of profits, loss of use of contracts, or for any economic or consequential loss whatsoever, whether arising from errors in data, negligence, breach of contract or otherwise.
Indexes for July 2003 onwards are constructed from BITRE's Internet air fare survey.
