LAX-FRA $2734 + $192 tax (business class rtn)

Great fare via YVR. The transatlantic flight is on LH metal (Airbus 340-600) with the New Business Class seats!!

Similar fare to CDG but on AC metal with the old seats (worse than UA).

I find it hillarious that on 10 hour flights you get "no meal" and on a 2:50hr flight you get "meals" ....

Don't believe everything you read on a CRS. There are actually 2 meals served YVR-FRA, but many of the multi-meal flights show as "none" (since there isn't 1 meal).

Colin says it is on MH which is Malaysian Airlines.
As there have been discussions of MH joining ST I would love to see them in and I'd buy a F ticket to TPE

I assume ST=sky team?

Can one earn miles with these tickets? I thought that a lot of these consolidated fares are not able to.

Well since the cats out of the bag about the LAX-KUL fare that I have known about and taken of advantage of for quite sometime. I've done it before many times.

MAXjet $396 Business Class roundtrip fare to London

At first I thought it was an error until I saw the fare rules – MAXjet filed a special business class fare for their Washington Dulles (IAD) to London Stansted (STN) route. Leave May 6 and return May 7, 8 or 10 and the total comes to $498.19 after all taxes and fees. Amazing! Roundtrip business class to London for under $500!!!

The airline is all business class so I wouldn’t expect inventory to run out fast.

These are the terms and conditions I found:
Promotion fare is only valid for travel from Washington-Dulles departing on May 6, 2006 and returning on either May 7, 8 or 10, 2006 from London Stansted. Travel must be booked by May 5, 2006 by visiting www.maxjet.com and using Promo Code: madmax. Promotional tickets are nonrefundable, nontransferable and may not be reissued.
