This 2015/16 thread is now closed. The 2017 thread is:
http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/british-airways-executive-club/1818553-premium-fare-deals-j-f-2017-edition.html


A collaborative collection and discussion of nice Avios-earning and TP-earning J & F premium fare deals. This thread is not for TP runs or published sales.
Some links to relevant threads can be found below.


Enjoy your Premium Experience.

FIRST CLASS - RTM/AMS/BRU to West Coast (SFO, SAN, YVR, SEA) starting at Ł2330... (just click on the book with American link to get the good price. )
Oneworld: Italy and various EU to New York in club €1250
CONSOLIDATED QR 2017 Travel Festival Fares
Current QR Sale Fares (yes, I did...)
QR/UL FRA-MLE via DOH+CMB: 1380€ RT across the board. 640 TP.
Switzerland/Italy/Sweden to East & West Coast USA in WTP (PE) €600/690 (3x Avios)
LHR-Asia/Oz for Ł1100/1500 on MH
Finnair J, ARN / GOT - BKK, 1150 GBP return (valid till Jan 9th)
TXL and Portugal to JNB for Ł1350/1450 on BA discussed from post 5021 onwards..

For promos to the US (often, but TP heavy routes in general) it is always a good idea to look at BA Tier Point Runs 2017 master thread. Current sales are often in the Wiki there.

If my sums are correct, I should earn 900 TPs for the flights (FRA-DFW-SCL-MIA-DFW-FRA).

Many thanks!
Yes. See http://www.britishairways.com/en-gb/...ing-avios.html

I am trying to get itinerary to OGG for Easter, but the JFK-LAX keeps being offered in D rather than P that someone on here reported. Is there any way to force it to P via ITA matrix? Is the D class the new rule for those flights?

Looks like BOD is the French airport to search from. Here is a good deal to the Maldives.

BOD-MLE in QR J for GBP 1623. You do have to contact QR to book.

(Thanks for the tips)

Calchas is the expert, but I think he mentioned this in the TP run thread.

I can book OSL-LHR-DFW all on BA (TATL in F) and DFW-OGG in booking class F for GBP 2952. Return is the same routing/classes.

Another amazing QR fare, this time to NRT in J for GBP 1419 (from CDG)

Works from CDG, TLS and probably some other French airports. You do have to contact QR to book from TLS, CDG can be booked on qatarairways.com

Seems to require long layovers in Doha in both directions. Can book online

Edit: There's also ARN - SIN via QR J for GBP 1,280 here

Have added them. Thanks Swibbz. ^

Mostly I ignore the QR fares with long layovers in DOH, but these are too good not to add.

Thanks henkybaby. In the spirit of keeping this organized, would it make sense to organize the fares by either departure airport or destination?

According to this post the booking classes have been changed very recently and the transcons are now booking into the business cabin again. I've just re-created my upcoming itinerary on aa.com and the transcons I've got booked into first are both now showing business class only

It seems this bug has been patched on all fares—within about 24 hours of me writing about it explicitly.

I do like BOD, probably my favourite city in France ^ (If you are in a group, it's not a great place for a solo traveller but it's alright.) There's a great little place, Café Brun, just round the corner there is le Houses of Parliament (seriously) which is actually a really great bar that tries to be English but is always full of cool French students.

However the airport itself (particularly the lounge) is terrible
