Premium Fare deal thread to publish any good value premium fares that members find that are good for earning club points on CX.

These fares don't have to start in HKG, and they don't have to be on CX. You can position to other places in Asia / Europe, and this information can also be useful for members who don't live in HKG.

There is also a general FT Premium Fare deals forum: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/premium-fare-deals-740/

Okay I think I might have been wrong - when I checked using the Google Flights mobile interface I can't see the deals, but on a web browser they're there.

Definitely still around but much less availability; there is only one day at this price for 01 April - 30 June 2017. Still quite a bit of availability for early December, Jan - March and July

Checked dates from Jan to July. All gone.

Sigh.

Not as cheap but still pretty good. I learned my lesson the first time - if you see a fare about approx 2k in J R/T, jump on it.

There is currently a JL/AA F class deal from Seoul to USA for around $3k. Lots of inventive routings to get lots of club points and fly JL in F class.
