Just booked LGA-PHL-FRA-DUB-FRA-PHL-LGA on US for 11/18-24. If anyone else will be enduring the drive up the coast to NYC for that one, PM me for a carpool! I'm not going to be staying in Ireland, so looking into some other options for that five days. Maybe Rome and Paris? Anyone else? Thanks for all the help on here!

First of all, thank you very much for the friendly warning. I was silly and yes, I did book the Lufthansa flight without even checking the fare-code. I checked it a couple of hours AFTER the booking but thanks God, I am good... 100% on UA... But thanks once again, I did not consider that before, but I also realized it
Best regards and thanks once again!

For what it's worth, it is possible to use this fare to get a LH leg in A380 F SIN-FRA. I believe it is also possible to sneak a TG long-haul in as well. You can't do the entire trip via *A, but you can get some *A legs in.

SCL-MIA-TGU LA/AA J Class 2035 USD RT..10.034 miles
Hi, for the few of us living in south america. Bookable at least on some few of the usual engines. Sample itinerary:
Santiago (SCL) to Miami (MIA) - vie, nov 9
LAN Airlines 502 Dep: 11:55p.m. Arr: 6:40a.m. 8h 45m Boeing 767 Business (D)
Miami (MIA) to Tegucigalpa (TGU) - sáb, nov 10
American 955 Dep: 12:20p.m. Arr: 1:40p.m. 2h 20m Boeing 757 Business (D)
Tegucigalpa (TGU) to Miami (MIA) - lun, nov 12
American 978 Dep: 2:55p.m. Arr: 6:20p.m. 2h 25m Boeing 757 Business (D)
Miami (MIA) to Santiago (SCL) - lun, nov 12
LAN Airlines 501 Dep: 8:25p.m. Arr: 6:50a.m. 8h 25m Boeing 767 Business (D)
Cost per passenger (including taxes & fees) 2.034,30 US$
Total cost for 1 passenger 2.034,30 US$
I hope someone can make good use of this...and experience the TGU landing...from the front! (and the LAN seats and service as well)
Feel free to improve the routing!

NZ is offering a decent business class fare from major cities in Japan to New Zealand for JPY233,000 AI (approx. USD2,936). It can be routed through HKG as well. Two stopovers each way are allowed. JPN-NZ sectors are in J, other international sectors in C/Y, and domestic sectors are in Y (NZ) or H/M/B (NH). Max stay of 1 month, changes/cancellations cost 50% of the fare, bookable until 31 March 2013.

Yup, it's still there. Tons of availability, too. Try Cheaptickets to book; I couldn't get Orbitz to work.
It required entering precise times for each segment into the OTA to get it to price out, although ITA finds the fare quite easily.
For eg:
Nov 18 US 1507 EWR 6:30AM CLT 8:33AM 2h 3m Airbus A321 First (A)
Layover in CLT 11h 47m
US 704 CLT 8:20PM FRA 11:00AM 8h 40m Airbus A330 Business (Z)
Layover in FRA 4h 45m
LH 980 FRA 3:45PM DUB 4:50PM 2h 5m Airbus A321 Business (Z)
Nov 23 LH 983 DUB 5:35AM FRA 8:40AM 2h 5m Airbus A320 Business (Z)
Layover in FRA 2h 5m
US 705 FRA 10:45AM CLT 2:45PM 10h 0m Airbus A330 Business (Z)
Layover in CLT 3h 40m
US 721 CLT 6:25PM EWR 8:15PM 1h 50m Airbus A321 First (A)
$988.00
