Error fares, cheap flights from ASIA

Hello,

I just recently focusing to the error fare, cheap flight ticket and fortunately could hit 1 good deal in the past.
Most of the pages I found is share the information about ticket departure from EU or US.
Does anybody knows a forum or page where they also mentioning flight departure from ASIA ?

I currently live here and would be more easily to catch a good flight from here.

Thanks !

Mistake fares come and go from various destination all the time. I have seen plenty to or from Asia pop up here. Be patient and willing to position for something good .

Ah one more quick question.

As I read error fares are really rare, but forum would be very useful to find/study how to get cheap first class tickets.
Could you advise how can I start study about it ? Are there any guideline for it or topic ?

Thanks in advance !

Well they used to occurr more often in the past. However technology advances and that often reduces the error fare occurrances drastically. Nonetheless they can happen. Call it a freak of nature.

Well, there was the Lufthansa fare from Singapore a few years back when it was only 100 euros to Europe in F. Or the TG $0 fare from BKK. The former was honored but no changes, and no miles. The latter was not honored.

And don't forget the infamous 3 rounds of RGN fare, with third round being the best! I snagged SQ suites for $283 per adult

I hate it when people talk in codes so much ... it's ridiculous.

For a while it was possible (and may still be possible) to use the KrisFlyer shopping portal to buy moderate numbers of KF miles cheaply. (One involved buying LifeLock [which is a huge pain if you're churning credit cards] and I forget what the others are.)

The above were good deals if the points posted. I Haven't written a post about this new deal, still unconfirmed.
