There is an interesting MXP-BKK sale with QR, price from 1250 eur per person. 560 TPs but I think there is a minimun stay of at least 4 days.
Book until 4th Jan.

Seem to be good fares to BKK from a number of airports now. I cannot seem to find any decent fares to SIN though.

cheapest I can get for mid Oct 19 for 4 people is £6490 from Manchester via finair in J

Hopefully January will see a few more sales come online?

My sort of spreadsheet

Any chance of additional columns for Avios and TP earning ?

Are you sticking to all the restrictions in the fare rules? Here they are https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/30580037-post12.html

We have booked this, and UUA to F.
I have been trying to add a one day rental to the booking and doesn't bring down the price. I am seeing I class availability on EF. Is there any specific dates/months one must travel during? Thanks

Is this fare now gone? I cannot seem to find it for the dates I was looking for in August. My company travel agent made a booking for me and I have a reference number, but it isn't paid for yet, will this be an issue? I hope that when it is paid on Monday there will be no issues.

Should be fine if the fare quote was stored by the travel agent

Unsure if this is the right thread but need to head to New York on Saturday 3rd of August for a fortnight. Best deal I can find is from Dublin via Madrid on the 1st for £1,225 which is almost the same as BA’s WTP direct.

https://www.google.com/flights?hl=en...4*2.GBP.121244

Should I jump at this fare or wait for WTP to come down from its current level of £1,100? I am just unsure whether I will find a better deal in J and, if historically over the school holidays BA flights to New York remain at these high prices.

I did a similar search (EU to BKK, similar dates) on Bright Flights (which searches all major EU departure airport options on ITA Matrix as one search) and downloaded the attached spreadsheet that shows estimated TPs and Avios for each of the flights also. (in my case it also shows connecting flights to from/ to LHR as that's my home airport). Hope this helps.

Depending on the flexibility of your dates, you could do DUB-LHR-JFK return in BA business class for £1,360. That's a very good price for that time of the year and I'd be surprised if it came down much more than that. I also found LHR-JFK in PE on AA for £1,010. See attached for the some of the alternatives I found in both business class and PE.
