I picked up Y HKG to MAN in August for about £450 - masochism on the 787 but at that price as a OWE it is liveable! For August it is exceptional.
J was widely available at around £2K

I know this is the BA board, but since we love QR fares....with the new QR site, it's hard to find the page that just lists the specials now? The "offer" page doesn't seem to work properly.

Yup probably on wrong board - sorry
The QR site is hard work. I priced up my two Y legs at something like 2k and 3.5K HK$ each. I was expecting with fees etc to come out at a total of something like 8K HK$ But no it went down to HK$4,702. I booked pronto.
Very OT but my wife picked up MAN - HKG August 31 - direct on CX for 30,000 Avios and about £110. BA wanted same Avios and about £290 routing via LHR. Nutz.

What's the cheapest European city to fly to Hong Kong CW passing through LHR mid Dec to mid jan? Remember it used to be Germany last year, has this changed?

The £850 ex Germany was a cracking deal. Tried to explain it to someone at work that thought it was far too much and a lot of faff

OSL to New Zealand ... wow thats a cracking deal.
Help needed ....
1) Looking for J routing to Vancouver from / to Europe.
2) Need to be in Vancouver by 6th August. Happy to say fly into SFO, PHX, SEA (stay a night) and do a separate booking to YVR.
3) Need to return to LHR direct on the BA flight on the 18th August (arriving on 19th). Can continue to DUB, PRG etc to complete the itinerary on the 19th or 20th August
Yesterday around lunchtime i was getting a price quote for 1800 GBP on ITA. Went to price it up on Bookingwithmatrix ... and it had gone up 500 GBP on priceline.
Today ITA is showing 2346 GBP.
I was hoping to get something around 1800 GBP tops. Any suggestions ?

JER-XXX-OAK (connecting on Alaska) for around £1,700 and earning 480 TPs. Not hugely more expensive ex-LHR. Ex-INV is also an option. Not amazingly cheap in itself but can be combined with some extraordinarily cheap economy outbound fares and not strictly an ex-EU.

DUB-SEA is coming in at about £1550, but that's a return from SEA-LHR, not YVR.

You can finish the itinerary in London (legitimately!) and get loads of TPs for around £1,450

SEA or PHX are pricing on BA.com with legs in AS F but the fare rules suggest it's nearly unlimited. You can also (though BA.com didn't want to show it for some reason) route non-stop through LGW.
It's 50 days' advance booking with no clear time restrictions.
Can also do F (on a flight that has it) for £320 more or so each way.
