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...)

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.

Thanks. Seems to be good prices for East Coast and ORD, but it doesn't cover the West Coast or Hawaii. It is a bit cheaper starting at RTM.

Have put details in the TP thread here http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/27702329-post69.html

Return to ORY or CDG also makes the price drop a bit more.
It's a bit more expensive to the Midwest but still OK prices.

Having (somehow) successfully managed a b2b at ORY on Monday I am not falling for that one again

An easy b2b at AMS is definitely worth the premium

Go to CDG and take some extra time to enjoy the Cathay lounge

Finnair seems to be having an Asia sale compared to what I've seen previously. CDG-BKK flights in Business from HEL on the A350 are pricing up at $1,606 on some dates for "Business Campaign" (which is flexible with what look like reasonable fees). I think I might just take one - e.g. 16/1/17 - 15/4/17.

British Airways also has some good AMS - BKK fares - $1461 return in Business, e.g. 18/1/17 - 7/5/17

Love the AMS-JFK fare in August... but I need to come back from MIA.
So far the lowest OJ fare I found, returning from MIA, is to ARN, coming about 1450 eur pp (15 to 30 Aug). Any alternative suggestion?

Is that freshly-squeezed ?

That's clearly a typo for "OG" as an "original gangsta fare".

That's been going for a while. Stopovers are only €100 each so you can actually reasonably use it to go to somewhere else in the Far East for minimal additional cost.

Could you give an example of a stopover routing? I've not been able to get anything comparable with a BA longhaul sector. I've been looking at this kind of route for a couple of days and I'd not seen anything of value with BA at all beforehand (not that I particularly want to fly BA, to be honest).

One example (which I booked):

AMS-LHR-KUL (stopover 3 days) KUL-BKK-HKG-LHR-AMS

if you look at the minimum stay you can work the dates so you don't even have to stay overnight in BKK and can just do it as a connection.
