How did you find that one?

Doesn't work for OPs dates as they are rather restrictive

So how would I put a route like that into itaMatrix? I have only used it for straight returns (out and back... not via specific locations).

@snaxmuppet more importantly do you have a Chinese visa?

It's Qatar Airways, one of the better business class experiences, and less than a fifth of your budget even including positioning, generating 6/7ths of your target TP.


Obviously you don't have to stay in Shanghai, you can use the deal to bookend a trip to the West coast of the US (maybe via Tokyo or Hawaii) for a couple more grand and you still have enough for a nice tour of the US. China visa is an issue maybe if you want to go quickly, but you can get those on a relative fast track.

HAM-LHR-SIN-HKG-CGK (and reverse) in Club/Business can be had for <GBP2000 at various times.
The various DUB ... HNL routings can be had for that too.
