I say you offer it up on coupon connection , saying you want good karma.
I'm guessing you'll get a valid passport number, along with a new travel companion, with in 2 days.

Pacha, many thanks for your help! Also got it ticketed over the phone, was no problem at all. The lady at the call center was very friendly and efficient to deal with. Was really surprised by this experience, much better than the Indian callcenter of BD...
I chose HKG as destination too, great city and looking forward to the new B77W on this route! May I ask on which dates you're flying? Please feel free to send me a PM.
And of course also thanks to Gnoops for originally posting this valentines offer!

I can't find any info about this to BKK or HKG, is there any page available with info?

Not that I'm aware of. The only reference I was able to find was in the TK inflight magazine, but there only European destinations are listed. I also wasn't able to get the fare displayed on expertflyer. However, the fare is loaded in the GDS and definitely bookable (under the limitations set in the fare rules).

ITA shows all of these fares if you specify 2 adults and the POS in IST
Non-companion fares are higher but still nice.
Thanks Gnopps for alerting us to this and Pacha for going ahead and actually booking one. You guys have been my heroes for the last few days
Frequent_Flyer1, did you get hit with the TRY159 per pax service fee as well? I'm looking for an agent in IST to avoid it, if possible.
A word of advice to anyone trying to book it, too: Apparently, you can tag on a couple domestic segments in Turkey/North Cyprus for a marginal increase in fuel surcharges only (ca. US$50 per pax). Each domestic tag one way would bring 1200 membership miles with BD / 2000 with Miles and Less plus whatever your status bonus is. A positioning flight from Europe to, say, AYT would be no harder to find than one to IST, I guess
I am aware of how to use the FC site where you can look up YUP fares for specific airlines and travel between a specific destination and general areas (Europe, Asia, South America) of the world. Is there a way on FC or elsewhere to look up actual first class fares (not YUPs) for specific airlines, specific departure airports and general areas of the world?

Sorry, but I can't see how expertflyer lets me plug in a departure city and a general world area, not a specific destination. It also appears you can only check one specific first class fare (F, A, etc.) rather than just asking for any first class fares that are available.
