PRICE GOUGING

I have $550 in vouchers from flights in April (Easter weekend) which I am trying to cash in for flights between Xmas and New Year to Sydney return from Gold Coast. Cheapest I could get were $820 for 2 people. I realise its peak season, but so is the Easter long weekend. Therefore, similar flights are now around $300 more expensive. That is without the need to hire a car. I need to see my 86 year old mother who has been isolated due to covid since March. This is not making it any easier for family members to reconnect. Its price gouging and greed at its worst. Will have to wait now until prices become more realistic. Very upset customer. Virgin flights much more realistically priced. If I didn't have the vouchers I would pay for Virgin flights instead.
