This looks an amazing deal - Thanks Henky and gelukkig nieuwjaar!
On initial scrutiny it looks like max stay might be about 20 days, but I need to do some more digging. This might well save me £500 or so for a booking I have to make later on in the week if it's still here...

Ebookers is reporting that the deal expires 8am UK time (I think - currently on the west coast of the US).

Thanks Cymro (and Henky, I have alerts for new threads in the other forum!)
Have decided that sub £1,500 ex-LON is worth cancelling my €1,500 ex-FRA fare on Air China, for €150 fee.
- £200 or so more for the fare
- £130 cancellation fee
- no Asiana *G status
+ can use Amex, so 1,500 SPG points
+ topcashback, so that's £80
+ ebookers rewards scheme gets another £30 or so
+ I can avoid the 9,000 Avios and £35 fee for RFS positioning flights
+ no 12 hour layover in Beijing (admittedly I had been toying with a visit to Forbidden City using the Transit Without Visa scheme)
+ oh, and I get 600 TPs to renew GGL easily (and close to 30k Avios)
Unfortunately I couldn't get the late departure I wanted the Thursday night before Good Friday without paying crazy money, but can't have everything... Now to plan properly a week on a South Pacific island and same again in Tasmania

Simples: just book LHR-BKK with one night hotel added and you will find it. Not sure if this works.
LHR-SIN is £1340 by the way.
LHR-SYD is £1495
LHR-MEL is £1487

The links don't load and I can't get it to price out on ebookers.

Yes it is. Just use the flight + hotel options to search. Details here: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/premi...0-1500-mh.html
The ebookers links seem to die after a certain time so you will have to do some legwork yourself for this one.

Great, thanks Henky.
I was looking at August departures, which seem to attract different fares.

Does anyone know what booking class the flights go into from an Ebookers booking?

Excellent.. . Should have waited to book my mum's flight. At least F was working out same price with the hotel. But almost half the price of the F fare would have been too tempting....
Well done to those who have booked. Bargain ^

I would book ASAP...
Happy you could use it! Let us all say thanks to Cymro. I only looked at it in a bit more detail. I have not found this gem.
PS: I would love some feedback on the new seating on the MH A330s...

I thought that the MH sale itself was good but this is even better.
Has anyone managed to ever deal with ebookers to get them to take a deal like this and add on an additional flight? I'd rather fly MAN-LHR-KUL-SYD rather than trekking down to LHR first. Unfortunately I haven't managed to get it to plug in the MAN-LHR on the front and end using the website.
Thanks

Thanks for posting!
Great fares to SIN, and apparently I'm spending 1 night in a hostel room with 8 other beds
I couldn't reserve my seats on the ebookers page as it wouldn't load, and the MH website is solely for MH website bookings.
I presume I'll have to call MH, as I've done in the past - unless there is a OneWorld site which allows MH bookings?
