EK: GRU-DXB-BAH/RUH/BEY : €30-€60 rt

The blo-oh-oh got their hands on a funny deal. Not sure if this is useful to anyone and whether it will ticket, this is a true 0 BF (T class)

Available until December 2016.

Brazil's economy is in the dumpster so EK may honour these since planes are not flying out full anyways. Brazil has strong consumer protection too (if you have the ability to fight back).

Otherwise it's a toss in the dark to say whether they will or not given the 0 base fare.

T earns about 50% in most programs.

I've been trying for 30 minutes and can't get this to work. The link on the blog works but those dates suck.

Can anyone get an October or November date to work?

Congrats, my bet is you are going to fly as the Brazil rules are pretty tough when you have an etix!

Sooo.... I just received my e-tickets with numbers and stuff. Looks legit! Went to emirates.com and chose seats. Everything seemed ok.

Now I need to figure out how to get to Sao Paolo... And from Beirut to Amman and then onto Jerusalem. Can AA give me a ticket that both on AA and TAM? I know Alaska won't and I don't want to spend outrageous amount of Avios.

Will keep you posted about how it goes!

You know you will have issues getting from Beirut to Amman to Jerusalem. Israeli authorities frown upon people who visited the two aforementioned cities.

They don't specifically frown upon visiting Amman. The State of Israel and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan have had official diplomatic relationships since 1994, and AMM-TLV is flown nonstop daily by RJ.

A recent visit to Beirut, on the other hand, might receive some scrutiny at the Israeli border.

So it looks like Gotogate actually ticketed my GRU-BAH for the yuuuuge sum of €28... I was more expecting a cancellation e-mail as it took them 10 hours to ticket it. Look at the fact the e-ticket shows a charge in SEK which is slightly more than €28 but pending charges on my CC are correct.

Also nothing under "fare" and "equivalent fare" haha. I am not quite sure about the fare class, did this book in X in spite of being a T fare?

Anyone have the fare rules? Basis codes were TLXIPBR4 TLXIPBR1 and TLWIPBR1.

Thanks! My current plan is to use US passport to get from SEA to GRU and then onto BEY, but Russian passport to go to AMM and TLV. Hope it will work since there would be so many different reservations.

Thanks for the reminder!
