As usual, their website is proving tricky but good luck if you can find something to suit.

I'm seeing ~£1,700ish for BKK and HKG - not bad, could be 50% off but also could just be regular fare! The calendar view isn't being much help, but I'm seeing similar prices outside the travel window... Also makes it hard to check whether matrix is picking up whatever discounts there might be.

Anything to the west coast of America for the summer (end of June ish) in J/F? Preferably Vegas, but wouldn't mind LA etc given the modern aircraft.
Thanks
Thanks

Is this route something which is likely worth waiting for a sale for? I'm in no rush and quite flexible on dates.
ExEU is still a pain, not sure I could be bothered for a WT+ fare. Would rather go £375 rtn from Dublin in Y and slum it than that I think.

Good god, that site! I've just been shunted to the mobile version! Any idea what a "normal" fare might be?

Anyone seen decent fares to NZ recently?
I received an email from Qatar advertising discounted fares to Australia (and I think NZ), but can’t see anything cheap on Matrix. I’m looking to fly from Europe to NZ on the 25th March this year in J (one way) I don’t know if I’m doing something wrong but best I can see is £1550ish from Oslo, but have become accustom to much cheaper fares from QR!

Last night I managed to book AMS-LHR-HKG-BKK-SIN-LHR-AMS for less than 1400 Euros on BA and CX in business. Needed long-haul flights to get me to Asia, for a surprise visit to my mom and brother who will be in Bali. In between BKK and SIN I will fly to Bali and back on MH. At first couldn't get it to work with ITA Powertools, neither on AA or BA. Eventually resorted to BookwithMatrix and it went through there.

For those based in BE or NL, RTM-LCY-LHR-BKK-HKG / HKG-LHR-LCY-RTM can be found for just over € 1500 in the next couple of months. Long-haul flights are on BA, BKK-HKG segment is on CX. SIN is also possible and you can then have the BKK-SIN segment on the CX A350. Only downside might be the transfer from LCY to LHR and vice versa.

What are the fare rules? Perhaps they're more favourable than AMS-BKK.

It's the same fare @Virazuno (RTM-BKK)=(AMS-BKK), price difference is due to stopover in HKG which costs Euro 100 if I recall correctly.
I've done that and then paid the extra £100 through HKG on the way back.
Was £1335. Threw in a GUF too. Without the stopover it'd be around £1230.

In fact that is the only possibility if you want to go via SIN, as there is only once daily SIN-BKK! It's nice the first time, but when you do this fare 2x a month it gets annoying!!!

You can actually do most German cities to major US hubs right now for sub £1000 in J when booking on an OTA like expedia and including at least 1 night hotel. I got a MUC-HEL-JFK-LHR-MUC in J on AY, AA and BA for €980 including a hostel I will never go anywhere near.
