Open Jaw to AKL £530 All-In (Oneworld)

Cathay Pacific Airways, Qantas and British Airways are offering very cheap open-jaw flights to Auckland New Zealand for only 530 GBP – round trip incl. all taxes and baggage fees.

Open-jaw flight means that you’ll return to a city other than the one you departed.

The open-jaw routing is:

Barcelona - Auckland - London

This trick should work with every European British Airways airport (Amsterdam, Brussels,Vienna, Frankfurt, Geneva, Zurich, Paris, Manchester, Venice, Milan and so on). But you have to depart from Barcelona.

The fare is valid for travel between April and June 2013. All flights have stopovers in London, Singapore or Hong Kong and Sydney. Please pay attention, some flights include airport changes (Gatwick to Heathrow) don’t book this flights.

Sample Dates:

4 - 29 / 5 / 2013

(If Silver/Gold), you'd earn: 1423 + 13486 + 7832 + 670(?) + 1421 + 11958 = 36790 Avios and 165 TPs (?) for only £534.92

Does look like a bit of bargain (if you're in to that kind of thing)...

Nice spot.

I guess it's no coincidence that TAM are also offering open-jaw to Lima for £228 return all in!

£530... Which class do you think!?

Although I have seen Y+ on the outbound on certain dates (naturally slightly higher price).

Where it's suggested that this a BCN-BKK fare with unlimited stopovers in Area 3. Oops ...

So technically, IMO, a mistake fare ?

Indeed. I suspect it won't hang around for long.

He's been around a while judging by the amount of posts on this forum, so probably only one out of the three (may) apply (apologies Hiddy, couldn't resist that)
