It seems that they've recently raised pretty significantly a lot of the traditionally cheap European originating fares to NA? At least to IAH

Going to IAH the cheapest is still from TLL (under 1600 Euros), a bit more from HEL (1637) but still a good deal. Going to US other cheap originating cities are HEL and OSL around 1500 Euros.

Hi. I saw a nice TLL-IST-GRU under 1600 eur for a run, but I was wondering how is feasible to arrive at the 19:50 local time and depart at 4:50 am of the immediate morning after.
Is it possible to remain airside? Can you check-in online and have the BP downloaded in the app? Or you need to go landside and physically check-in again?
Thank you

If so, http://www.sleepinginairports.net/europe/tallinn-airport.htm will be of assistance.

Sorry! My mistake! I was not clear enough!
The questions were about arriving at GRU Sunday evening 19:15 and departing GRU back to IST Monday morning at 4:50 am. Basically a stay of more or less 9h in GRU.

https://www.sleepinginairports.net/c..._guarulhos.htm sounds less accommodating- one of the airport hotels might be your best bet.

There's a sale now for J out of PEK and PVG to many destinations with limited seats and dates, offer good until October 31st, first segment flown by March 31st, all segments done within 4 months.
See details here
TK: PEK to Africa/Americas in Business ~$1,800
For the first time I'm seeing under $2000 USD between Asia and Canada, those low J fares makes my E+ upgrade vouchers almost worthless as Y fares are like $1500 USD.
Another benefit of TK, you can "reserve and pay later", I just held a couple tickets and I can pay by October 31st. I'd be curious I could still get the sub $2000 J fares if I decide to pay and ticket.

If you read the T&Cs carefully, you'll see that "reserve and pay later" doesn't hold your fare. It just holds your seats and creates a PNR to make things easier if talking to TK.

With the current promotion, it's J Super Promo, I'd be curious to check toward the last day of the promotion (Oct 31st) and see if they still let me pay the sub $2000 fares.
