[PREM FARE GONE] EK First PEN-DXB (via SIN) for 600USD (with caveat)

1600GMT 9 FEB FARE IS DEAD

EK First PEN-DXB in First (books into A-class, up to 350% AS miles)
Caveat: must return within 24 hours.
Can be found on OTA and GF (some report it works on EK mobile site)

This is essentially a PEN-SIN RT F ticket with a transit constructed in DXB
Example: (no longer available, but other dates works) https://www.skyscanner.com/transport...senabled=false

Tip: This fare basis is a SIN-PEN-SIN fare with the return with a transfer in DXB (because the DXB-PEN flight is coded on one flight coupon. Hence the routing on return became SIN-DXB-PEN (SIN tech-stop ignored), this works on either outbound or inbound
Hence, To get the 600USD fare book in YFFF or FFFY (Coach books into K Class, can use Matrix to construct)
And, To get the 900USD fare book in FFFF

The real pro will price a double DXB transfer like this (price 1100USD):
PEK-SIN(techstop)-DXB (first coupon) DXB-SIN (second coupon) Outbound
SIN-DXB (third coupon) DXB-SIN(techstop)-PEN (fourth coupon) Inbound
The second/third coupon can be routed on 380. Those that require techstop in SIN can only be on the 777 flight EK348/349

Refund/Cancellation:
Refund is 500MYR=120 USD

Mileage Earning:
Your ticket will credit with three flight coupons: PEN-SIN (wether in Y or F), SIN-DXB, and DXB-PEN as a single coupon (that is how this fare is able to work within fare construction rules) The most rewarding being Alaska, but this can also be great for picking up some hard to earn JAL Mileage Bank miles.

Take Note:
1. [QUOTE=Travel-Quinten;32050521] Others have pointed out you may not be able to check your bags and would need to do mobile/online check-in for your second leg to DXB
2. You may HAVE TO finish your trip in PEN as the return leg has only a tech stop in SIN (that's how this fare is able to work duh) so you may not be allowed off the plane to make a run for it.

First seen on Chinese bloggers.
