Where did you get it from?

I guess this information wasn't available before the 4th of July...

You mean flights TO the whole of Europe FROM Japan / Korea were offered at that price? not Europe to Japan / Korea, right? only Austrian Airlines or other carriers as well? were there any date restrictions on the travel dates apart from Sept 29 2011 (which I assume is the latest return date)?

I will certainly inform you guys next time round (if it ever happens). It's just that I didn't fully believe I was really in Business till the airline staff handed me my ticket and explained to me how to get to the business lounges.
