Decided to sit this one out in the end as I'm well booked up this year already and don't fancy Japan again having been there last year. Well done to everyone who took the plunge, you got the bargain of 2017 so far!
Was definitely waiting for QR to offer a VERY special fare during their Travel Festival, I was just hoping it would be for SIN or KUL. For anyone worrying about it being honoured, they did the same flash promotions last year with the low fares OSL-BKK/SIN. I'm sure this is once again deliberate pricing from QR to get bums on seats. Sit back and enjoy.
