GB - you mind expanding further on this? For a ticket originating out of HK (i.e. not travelling via BKK or TPE) there are effectively ways to purchase a full fare (J) ticket to LHR for substantially less than the published fare?
I would be interested to know as it may come in useful if I need to purchase a 'companion ticket' for my other half but with all the flexibility of J. If this "trick of the trade" is too big a secret to reveal publicly then please msg me.
