Oneworld preferred.

Can anyone come up with anything better than £1359, please.

Thanks
To quote my own original posting - much as I try to avoid Y since beginning my FT education, I just got an AA Y MAN-PHL-MCO for January for £260 - which was so darned cheap I just had to take it - and use the Amex Pref Gold lounge pass along the way.

Seems like AA are still seeking to attract numbers to their MAN-PHL route - does anybody have knowledge of the loads on it ?

LHR-DXB-BKK on QF (can also be Emirates metal) for £1,450 via travel agents on Kayak. Perfectly sensible routing and not a TP run but 560TP for £2.58/TP.

Travel before 14 August next year; 30 days' advance purchase and either 3 night or Saturday stay requirement.

Fare code is I7AGB and book before 19 October.
Stez and florens like this.

Transcript from the overnight Database Update Team:

Intern: Hey boss, just two fields left, it needs ‘Aircraft Type’ and ‘Fare’?

Boss: It’s a 787, and let me get you the rest.

Intern: Wow, great price.

**supervisor distracted by phone call**

Intern: Don’t worry, I’ve fixed it now.

Any way to see the fare rules on Google Flights? I tried pulling this up on Matrix and it doesn't come up.

Wondering if this is a standard advance purchase fare, or a current discount.

EDIT: never mind, was able to bring it up via multi-city search. Looks like a 60 day advance purchase fare.

GOT to ORD/IAD/BWI (via LHR) around £1,000 return next July, even less if you go Finnair via Helsinki.

Looks like it was a price match - KL/DL still offering £1k in J GOT-WAS for July, although their sale is until 5 October.

It is long standing and I haven’t noticed any particularly light loads. AA will discontinue their MAN-JFK service in Spring so for AA flyers PHL will be the main alternative.

Good deal, although I cannot see any short Saturday only night stays in January or February. Would like to try QF and/or EK and get TPs.

My flight was packed, but then this is obviuously only one data point and it doesn't say anything about the yields.

I am trying to get to KUL travelling either 11/12 nov coming back 18/19 in C from the UK. What I have found so far is HEL to BKK on QR for about £1200 then attaching the relevant hops or LHR to KUL with Sri Lankan for £1700, but that gets fewer tier points . I do not mind flying in to SIN /BKK etc from Europe. Any better ideas at all would be very much appreciated. Tx
