Looking for Europe - NBO J for 10 days at the end of June.
Best I've found is £1430 from BRU or £1500 from BCN.
Anyone seen anything better?

Anyone finding anything sweet EU-SEA for August? Best I see is some ex-DUB which tantalisingly show up as £1.2k on Matrix/GF, but price up more like £1.6k when you click through.

Just spotted ZRH-LAX/SFO on AA metal for £1,606 - cheapest it has been in a long, long time! 
Great price out of Switzerland ^
Fare basis: INN0R4Z1
Cannot route via LON. Book by 31st May. 2 transfers in each direction, so could do something like ZRH-JFK-SFO-LAX-SFO-JFK-ZRH for 640 TPs for any runners.
ST matching also.
Not checked other destinations.

From a month ago, "Our cheapest business class flights" pages on BA Greece, Poland and Bulgaria websites have no content/flights showing, while Czech Republic has completely lost USA destinations examples. I am wondering if it's intentional or not... and if it's intentional, why?
For me it was useful to find potential deals... and to see drop/rise in prices

As a quick observation, I've noticed that aa.com seems open to throwing in a routing via HEL on various itineraries for very little extra money - at least, it's true of OTP-PHX and also MAN-LIT...
Might be worth a bit more research

I was looking for J ex Dub to Vegas around christmas, all I could find was AF codeshare on Delta to JFK and DL Domestic at £1200ish. Seems the days of the likes of AA and BA matching such ex-DUB fares...
And I just went back to check the planes, and seems that AA is price matching via PHL, so Vegas around Christmas for ~£1280ish.
Prodding a bit more, £1314 to bounce via LHR and straight to LAS. £1304 for your standard JFK bounce as well, so 640 TP's for £1304, ~£2 a TP. I'm sure someone can helsinki that up a bit, for a bit more TP goodness, but its a start...

I just booked this LHR - TOKYO in July for GBP 1750, one stop on the way back in ICN. I actually got it originating in JER and it was basically the same price (although google/ITA didn't show that)

DUB-HEL-LHR-JFK-LAS-JFK-LHR-HEL-DUB
For £1,553 in August for 800 TPs - £1.94/TP.
I would probably prefer something like:
DUB-LHR-JFK-LAX-LAS-LAX-JFK-LHR-DUB
£1,396 in August - 720 TPs - also £1.94/TP. Just a bit more comfortable and better timings (although you can use the A350 on the HEL rotations, of course).

Is OTP-PHX available for under £2K again? Couldn't see anything in Matrix

You can go nuts on this one if you wish - can stretch it to 1,020 TPs if needed
