Mods - can this be combined with identical thread: Miles&Points > Mileage Run Deals > Premium Fare Deals > DL: JFK-ZRH Business $1,689 RT ...
Perhaps rename "SkyTeam West Coast -> Europe $1700-1900 July/August"
Perhaps rename "SkyTeam West Coast -> Europe $1700-1900 July/August"

I'm reading this to mean "Finland is not home to a SkyTeam partner, but doesn't have this deal available". If so, I'll point out I just booked JFK-HEL for ~$2200/ai/rt (various dates available at least Jul - Sep, using various combinations of AF/DL/KL). Compared to the $8k AY wanted for the n/s, I'll take it

Given the recent pattern, someone who's interested should try some other eastern European and *A hub airports to see if the EWR-IST route is the only one being offered at roughly this fare.
In fact, this fare is just about at the point of it perhaps being worthwhile for someone who purchased an earlier sale fare to pay the change fee to buy a new and cheaper ticket. People in this situation might want to check the details carefully.

AF: SFO-Balkans (ZAG/LJU/BEG/BUD/SOF) <$2K RT (Business)
Yesterday, I quickly snagged a couple tickets in business class on AF for a trip to Croatia (ZAG) with my wife this summer. Found on Google Flights and booked on AF web site for US$1,9XX.XX each, RT. Both outbound and return stop in CDG (we even finagled an overnight in Paris on the way home). Fares are available for most of August.
I'm hearing their hard product isn't awesome in the A380 but it's not a bad deal for peak summer travel. Wonder how this will compare to my last transatlantic flight in a premium cabin (UA 767 from SFO-CDG and a beat up 757 from TXL-EWR)...

They are mid roll-out of new biz class on their 777 fleet. New config is 1-2-1 and old config is 2-2-2. All I could find out of SFO near my dates were the old config on 777's. Never been on an A380 and times were better for us so we are on the big bird.
