Confirm your Tickets
MH and Cheaptickets are canceling these reservations. DO NOT ACCEPT a refund and they will rebook you.
As reported by JCM9608 it appears that some of these tickets or segments may be getting canceled. If your itinerary pops up on the flymas.mobi site then you're probably okay. If not, call cheapticekts and speak with them. They must honor the ticket, so don't take "No" or "We'll send you a refund" as an answer. You may need to speak to a manager / supervisor.
Multiple reports in this thread indicate that cheaptickets/MH will book you on a flight combination (possibly with a connection in NRT) if you push and don't accept a refund.
Booking
It has been reported that this books at Cheaptickets and Orbitz. Having problems viewing your ticket? Visit the FlyMAS Mobile Site and enter your information.
Routing
This fare appears to be eligable for End-on-End construction, so it should be possible to book cheap(ish) AA or US fares and tack them onto the ticket. In order to get to and from SFO.
Mileage Accrual
This fare is a Malaysian (MH) codeshare on Cathay (CX) metal.
Cathay: No mileage accrual
Malaysian: 70% mileage accrual
American: 50% mileage accrual
US Airways: 50% mileage accrual
And remember, DON'T CALL THE AIRLINES while a deal is ongoing.

[DEAL GONE] CX/MH: SFO - HKG $532.60 rt
Please, do not contact/call the airline directly!
Dates in Sep-Oct. Books through MH but flights are CX metal. Outstanding fare from SFO-HKG. Doesnt look like a min stay requirement. Can book using cheaptickets/external travel site as it looks like this may be MH IT related.
It looks like S Class accrues .5 on AA (.076 cpm) , but I am not sure about how this fare posts/accrues to other airlines. Thats why it's here in MR, mods and you guys can decide how to handle.
As a *A guy, I dont know OW fare rules, but HKG for $500 is a great find.
Prices about $1K higher through CX directly.
Enjoy!

It's a great deal for casual fliers but booking into S class on MH seems to kill any kind of mileage opportunities here.

this looks like it's an S fare class. On MH, that gives you 50% EQM and on CX, it gives 0% EQM. Which would be applicable here - the ticketed carrier (MH) or the actual carrier (CX)?
Good fare
