BA J / I : Italy [PSA/FCO/MXP/LIN/VCE] to CTU £984

With thanks to dsf and Calchas on the BA board – OP http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/27037994-post3049.html

Some excellent fares out of Italy (appears to work from all destinations BA serve) to CTU and HKG as per the title. As low as £984 to CTU on the Dreamliner.

Example to CTU here - http://goo.gl/flights/D6sz

Appears to be a good priced advance purchase fare as there are no sale restrictions or end date on the fare code.

60 day advance purchase requirement
2 free stopovers, unlimited extras at EUR200 - maximum 2 days
Non-refundable ticket

Updated to remove references to potential HKG tickets that now won't price up due to updated fare rules (see post 2)

Some excellent fares out of Italy (appears to work from all destinations BA serve) to CTU and HKG as per the title. As low as £984 to CTU on the Dreamliner or HKG with an A380 leg to LHR with a quick double back.

Example to CTU here - http://goo.gl/flights/D6sz

And Calchas' screengrab of the HKG deal here - CTU needs to be manually specified as the connection point it seems.

Appears to be a good priced advance purchase fare as there are no sale restrictions or end date on the fare code.

60 day advance purchase requirement
2 free stopovers, unlimited extras at EUR200
Non-refundable ticket

You can also push the last leg back to Italy out as stopovers in Europe are allowed.
I think a new restriction has been added to the stopover
Code:
 A STOPOVER MAY NOT EXCEED 2 DAYS.

Fare available for a bit more cash from Spain, able to squeeze in extra flights by starting/ending with e.g. BCN-MAD-LHR...LHR-MAD-BCN. No limited stopover rule on this fare (yet) so long stops in HKG and LHR possible. Combinable with the Italy fare, e.g. PSA-...-BCN for a price between the two.

Good spot. MAD/BCN fare is £120 extra each way so still gives an excellent price for HKG:

The price has been jacked up. It was 1000 GBP for all the T+60 days I checked.

It is cheaper to book by phone then by OTA

As it won't price up on ba.com I phoned in to have VCE-LHR-CTU-HKG-LHR-MAD-AGP priced. Turned out to be £1088 and no booking fee added as I can't price it online.

Try it yourself and I save a little bit over expedia.it (won't work on expedia.co.uk)

NOTE you can get to Tenerife for 60EUR more.

You can also start at MAD and finish at AGP for £1097. This fare definitely still works 👍
