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.
Switzerland/Italy/Sweden to East & West Coast USA in WTP (PE) €600/690 (3x Avios)
LHR-Asia/Oz for £1100/1500 on MH
Finnair J, ARN / GOT - BKK, 1150 GBP return (valid till Jan 9th)
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.

I was about to say. Some excellent WTP pricing from GOT et al. And LOTS of Avios (>20000) with the 3x promo.

Hey folks

Just a friendly reminder, which I realised just now.

Since the QR sale starts 12am on 9th Qatar Time this will actually mean that for UK based folks the sale starts at 9pm on Sunday 8th January.^

Happy bookings to you all!

One other thing to add, is that QR and IT don't always go together very well, particularly on the day the major winter Sale goes live.

You may find better deals a few hours later, but obviously the standard FT advice is - If you see a fare you like, book it and refund later.

Can you give us an indication of how good or not it will be ?

Surely you got some view / understanding of what to expect ? ^

Can I suggest that we limit ourselves to identifying the QR sales deals here but to discuss the best way to use them in the QR forum? That may keep this thread a bit easier to navigate?

I don't know, I feel a bit out of my depth in the QR forum The BA forum is much more cosy.

In times gone by, this is sometimes been good/great, sometimes not so good/great.

C'mon, someone throw us a bone...

Just buy them off the QR site and put in your BAEC number when prompted

I just took the plunge and got the MH J deal to SYD on Expedia. For 18th NOV to 2nd DEC. for 2 it cost £3,128.35 but got £109.49 cashback making it £1464.93 per person RTN!
best deal I've ever seen to Aus Ex LHR.

managed to get a lovely caravan plot somewhere in outer Sydney for 1 night in the middle of my trip! haha!


I just hope that there is no better offer on QR from Monday! I don't think they will beat that rate though to SYD... fingers cross

Very good WTP deals from GOT and ARN

I booked GOT-SFO and then MIA-GOT in WTP for only £487 and used a GUF2 for club world

I had been looking for this open jaw for a while for a panama canal cruise (Norwegian Sun October 5)

Thanks!

I'm currently toying with going out for the Brisbane test and at £1500 exLHR in J it's hard to resist!

Is there an end date for the sale?
