This 2015/16 thread is now closed. The 2017 thread is:
http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/british-airways-executive-club/1818553-premium-fare-deals-j-f-2017-edition.html


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.

FIRST CLASS - RTM/AMS/BRU to West Coast (SFO, SAN, YVR, SEA) starting at £2330... (just click on the book with American link to get the good price. )
Oneworld: Italy and various EU to New York in club €1250
CONSOLIDATED QR 2017 Travel Festival Fares
Current QR Sale Fares (yes, I did...)
QR/UL FRA-MLE via DOH+CMB: 1380€ RT across the board. 640 TP.

TXL and Portugal to JNB for £1350/1450 on BA discussed from post 5021 onwards..

For promos to the US (often, but TP heavy routes in general) it is always a good idea to look at BA Tier Point Runs 2017 master thread. Current sales are often in the Wiki there.

This morning, I got an email from Amex with a £100 off £500 spend on BA flights. Does anyone know if a) this offer applies to holidays too (the flight component is <£500) and b) if there's anyway to cancel/rebook or get them to refund the visa and charge to Amex?
Hopefully you loaded the offer to your card before making the spend?

I did the same (having offered it to my card a while back when it was released) when purchasing flight + hotel and the transaction is showing as BA.com. The offer is based on spend on BA.com, therefore should be fine.

You tempted me, I'm getting tickets CAI-BKK in First for £917. Checked availability for Avios to CAI and will also need tickets from BKK to DPS where I have hotel booked already in Hilton error fare.

Who needs BA Gold if I can fly First for cash and get all benefits on other airlines ;-)

I'm just wondering in what way it might be unsafe...

I think it might be a dry airport though...

Able to price on Google and ITA, but QR website shoots the price to 10,000£!

Edit: NVM, 10,000 EGP... I'm just an idiot.

Can't help wondering whether QR would honour these - tempted to try a couple for 2017 regardless though!

Any more news on these super-elusive £700 'A' fares from CGK-AMS ?

I have to be in KL a few times in 2017 and I could definitely find a way to fit at least one in

I booked two, a few days between each other. Since I have to go to CAI anyway, I can travel to a few places from there. CAI-ICN was only around £670 in business however I think it's a bit poor 2-2-2 B777 unless my quick research wasn't very good and it's something better. Other destinations were a bit more expensive or I don't need to visit them.

777 is 2-2-2 indeed, OK if you travel with a companion!

I couldn't resist. Cancelling my 241 with BA to SIN over easter to Cai-BKK in first for just over £800. Let's see if it sticks.
