A collaborative collection and discussion of nice Avios-earning and TP-earning J & F premium fare deals. This thread is not for TP runs or published sales.
Some links to relevant threads can be found below.


Enjoy your Premium Experience.

Your flight to BCN??

Loads of better experts than me on that around here and have a look at the B2B thread. Hope you have a great trip.
Today's BA273 to SAN. my first time in wtp on a 744 - didn't realise it was between F and J on the lower deck. Was misdirected and ended up going all the way through J
and into Y before making my way back. Will have few hours after I land in SAN to research wether SJO is actually worth it in August before the 24 hour cool off period ends...

Same here. Is it just a case of waiting for a similar one to come up with different dates now? Getting very addicted to watching FT like a hawk!

Have you forgotten the first and second rules of error fares?

You have 24 hours to cancel BA bookings

I've just looked again.

You can do the Spain-UK leg during the fare period, but push the UK-SJO-Spain portion back to whenever you like. Fares nudge up to around €1k.

So eg:

BCN-LHR on Jul 4th
LHR-SJO (Via MAD) on Oct 6th
SJO-BCN (Via MIA and MAD) on Oct 13th.

But for 400TP really not worth spending €1k?

You can do even better, as the fare allows 2 stopovers, you can avoid the APD (Ł140 down to Ł30 or so) by having stopover in UK, followed by another one in Spain, eg BCN-LHR // days/months LHR-MAD // days/months MAD-MIA-SJO

Sorry I meant for my gold quest, didn't intend to cause any offence.

It's really gone.

Happy with the trip. Getting to see a good friend in MIA, fly F to get there on a day flight and have a quick peek around SJO. Thanks to whomever posted it here. I lost track of that. Big ^^ from me!

Thanks but I think thegrailer then dsf were the first to work out the variation of the fare on the back of what IAkH found, I just felt the love and let a few folks with the necessary skills know!

Also thanks from myself and my OH for the heads up on this and all the work the regular crew put into this thread..

Always fancied San Jose and as currently living in Malaga I did not even need a positioning flight.AGP LGW SJO LGW AGP was €1420 for both of us all in. Flights all ticketed and even got seats allocated in club Europe.

Let's hope they stand by their "flash sale" ..

Going in 10 days..
