I think you are wishful thinking trying to get F for under 4k on *alliance.

Maybe Eva air or Philippine air possibly.
I just found one for $4100 in F, but its not to LAX. Think H1N1, and see my other posts in this thread for the starting location.
Or, $4200 from my honeymoon destination for more miles.

xBKK/SFO is 101495 thb (~2900 USD) on UA. These are D fares, which you can buy through quite a few agents in BKK, including UA's ticket office (bkkcto@united.com, on Silom Road in Bangkok).

TPE certainly is a gold mine.

Didn't search there and thanks for the heads up. Tried the OP BKK and PEK, but if he wants the inconvenience of repositioning it maybe worth it.

BTW found a mix of JAL and UA FIRST class 3666

TPE-SFO or LAX on June 30-July 6

Yes, but the fare you mention is a JL fare, not a * alliance fare. The transpac segment is on JL not UA.

And, BKK-TPE is fairly cheap if you use KL.

No kidding bro, I'm the one who found the fare. I mentioned it because it is the best deal going, not because it was star alliance.

There are a lot of things that are very cheap, you could swim for free, but the OP mentioned 2 cities and I gave him what those 2 cities had. Throw in TPE, maybe more trouble than it is worth.

What's it with people that don't read in this thread? Please re-read the OP; hence my reference to *A and TPE.

I found $211 r/t Philly to Madrid on Fly.com, specifically the dates were 9/16 to 9/23.
Also, the Premium class is pretty good at $2382.

All through Atlanta. I am not seeing the Premium ones anywhere except on Fly.com for some reason.

I am interested what did the AA agent told you? Is it doable to do a turnaround with the MIA-MGA-MIA on AB6? Thanks

Lhr-bkk ek f $2700

Heads up, there's discussion of this fare over at the Emirates forum. DXB-BKK is on A380, pretty good deal to try that inflight shower at 38,000 feet! Bookable on expedia.co.uk.
