£1074 MXP-LHR-DXB on BA in CW over October half term. Not earth-shattering but a decent price for BA.

Just had a quick look through and this fare is widely available throughout the remainder of the year and early 2018. Thanks for the heads up - I've been meaning to get out to DXB when time allows.

Works from FCO too, though MXP/LIN are better if you're positioning on RFS.

And MXP is likely to be better for a B2B. You can even do a 6 p.m. departure and be back in LHR by 10.45 p.m.

I'm looking for a LHR (or ex-EU) J or PEY ticket to SYD for about 2 weeks mid October

And another LHR-HKG ticket (must be ex LHR or LGW but non-direct ok) for someone else sometime in Sep-Oct-Nov for 1-2 weeks.

Any ideas?

There's a QR companion sale from OSL and ARN at the moment which is spitting out some OK deals.

On the HKG point, if you say non-direct is OK surely an ex-EU is still possible. Nothing to stop you flying to say Frankfurt and taking the CX flight from there? Or even doing the known routing from AMS back via LHR - you could do this on a quite straightforward back to back. Can't really help on cheap ex-LON fares personally though.

I'd rather avoid BA unless there is a major financial incentive not to and Ex EU would mean a positioning flight on BA with no thru checked bags.

Interesting you're using a thread on a BA forum to try and completely avoid BA flights!

Good luck on your quest!

You will have a free trip in Colombo as well as they will give you free hotel stay. Sri Lanka is a nice place for layovers.

If you fly it in August note the route is downgraded to A321 and would be direct flight. It will go back to normal in September with A333s and BKK stop.

Help with AMS-TPE or AMS-BKK J booking

I've been playing around with pricing up flights from Europe to Asia and have found two BA fares that I'm interested in.

AMS-TPE or AMS-BKK

The fare I'm trying to get to work is the 60 day advance purchase fare (INCEU60 is the fare code).

I'm interested to break up the journey with some stops along the way. According to the routing rules, I believe I should be able to have a stop in HKG, KUL or SIN as below (other routing available but these are the ones I'm interested in):

AMS-LON-(HKG/KUL/SIN)-BKK
AMS-LON-(HKG/KUL/SIN)-BKK-TPE

Works fine for HKG and KUL, but cannot get SIN to work. I've played around with various dates but no luck.

Just wondering if I'm doing something wrong? (screen shots attached for example).

Oh and also, for the BKK-TPE leg the routing rules say flights have to be on AE (Aegean) CI (China Airlines) BR (Eva Air). Would there be any Avios and TP collection for these flights? I'm assuming no.

No TP or avios for your BKK-TPE flights unless they are booked under a BA codeshare.

Could be down to fare bucket availability?

Can anyone see when this fare needs to be booked by? All I can see on ITA Matrix is the below, so does that mean its available until the buckets are empty?

Category 5: Advanced reservation/ticketing restrictions
RESERVATIONS FOR ALL SECTORS ARE REQUIRED AT LEAST 60 DAYS
BEFORE DEPARTURE.
TICKETING MUST BE COMPLETED WITHIN 7 DAYS AFTER
RESERVATIONS ARE MADE OR AT LEAST 60 DAYS BEFORE DEPARTURE
WHICHEVER IS EARLIER.
