Post as much details about the First or Business fare you've found as possible, including fare class, fare basis, one-way or roundtrip, sales channel, total price including taxes and sample travel dates
Post the details within the thread itself and not in the post title field as any information typed here cannot be seen by members accessing the thread using mobile devices
Double check that the fare is actually in Business or First as some online search engines or OTA's confuse booking classes on some airlines.
Keep off topic chatter to a minimum. Discussions about preferred aircraft types or premium seat configuration, in-flight service or lack thereof and/or past fares on the route are conversations better held in the individual airline forums
Refrain from posting fare requests within the thread.
They still have some good C fares to Spain (MAD/BCN) for $1123/1143 respectively xSEA.
Same AP/min stay.
Books into Z/I/S for AF/AZ/DL respectively except US domestic in P.
MPM fare if using DL.
I tried to find it on Matrix without any luck, cheapest I am finding is $2,100. Where are you finding these fares?

I think he's quoting the base fare ... all-in is just over $2k.
These work from SFO, LAX, and probably other west coast cities as well. Also, LHR works as a destination (but you have to add the stupid APD on the return).

It seems a few reminders for posting in this thread are required:
-please provide as much details as possible regarding your fare find, including total roundtrip including tax, any applicable dates or specific seasonality and fare class
-please include the information in the body of the post and not the post title which isn't visible to members reading the thread on mobile devices
-please limit the commentary & conversation to follow-up questions only, not how good or bad the specific airline's F or J class may or may not be, destination discussion or further off topic issues better covered elsewhere on FT
-please use the 'report bad post' function to bring moderator attention to posts you may feel don't conform rather than posting regarding the merit of the post in question
This thread works best when we all help our fellow posters with just the facts. You help in keeping this thread focused is appreciated.
Edited to add this thread really isn't the right place to have a discussion about how it's formatted or structured and for those wanting to carry on that topic I'd kindly ask you to bring those opinions up in this TB thread.

Could you tell me what APD is? I'm a noob. And what dates did you look for? Thanks!

If you'd like some summer fun...
I was reading on AirlineRoute.net that Uzbekistan Airways (HY) has decided to keep their JFK-RIX-TAS service running throughout the summer schedule. Link: http://airlineroute.net/2013/01/18/hy-jfk-s13/
On Thursdays, the service runs with "new" 2-class 763. I haven't been able to find a picture of the new interior, if anybody has info, please post.
On Sundays, the service runs with old 3-class 763. The old product is F/C/Y. Picture of F looking into C here (from 2008): http://www.airliners.net/photo/1485424/ Only thing which isn't clear is if it has remained the same. According to Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uzbekistan_Airways), they have two configs on 767 - F5/C40(!)/Y, and C18/Y. In the A-net picture, it's F10/C18 (visible, possibly more). It's very likely that they just removed one row of F, making it one row of 2-1-2 F.
HY has fifth-freedom rights on JFK-RIX and v.v., so if you're planning on a Latvian holiday, this could be a very interesting flight option.
HY flights are visible on ITA.
Round-trip in C is 2400 USD.
Round-trip in F is 3100 USD.
Both are still cheaper than the cheapest first-world country airline in J.

I'm trying to imagine my girlfriend's reaction if I told her I was flying to Riga on Uzbekistan Airways. It would not be pleasant, that much I know for sure.

I'm not sure about HY, but Latvia is a lovely country and Riga is an amazing city.

Depends on the airline, status, city pairs and a million other factors.
This isn't a mileage run thread. The only criteria here is that the fare is in a premium class (so generally F for domestic US fares) and is considerably cheaper than the regular fare for that route.

Very subjective--- some of us on this thread aren't mileage runners or looking to minimize CPM (ie, connecting multiple times on our way across the country). Personally, a domestic Premium fare that's significantly cheaper than normal is interesting to me.
