AMS-BKK INCEU60 Fare (BA)
Hi
Had a quick search but couldn't see this discussed yet. I used to use the AMS-BKK fare quite often which if you booked +60 days out was a
very reasonable price (£1300~) and could be routed quite flexibly AMS-LHR-XXX-BKK where XXX was SIN, HKG, KUL (from memory).
Couldn't find any similarly priced fares coming up so I checked EF and seems the routing rules are now just AMS-LON-BKK.
Hoping that isn't the end of this great fare, anyone know any more info??

dicussed a few weeks ago on the TP run thread and premium fare thread.
clearly a deliberate change to the fare to remove connecting options through KUL/SIN/HKG. I think it’s unlikely those routings will be added back in anytime soon.

If you want to go to HKG you can book from Germany for about £1550 return in J. No really routing options other than the LHR-HKG flights.

AY have a fare around the £1500 mark to BKK from EDI, MAN and AMS which routes via HEL direct to BKK and can go via HKG if you want. Slightly higher option ex-LHR too at just under £1700.

The cheapest DUS-LHR-KUL-HKG-LHR-DUS fare I can see is about £1880.

(1) AMS-LHR-KUL-BKK c.£1300
(2) GER-LHR-KUL-HKG c.£1500
Looks like (1) is gone (or now >£2k), possibly replaced by HKT (c.£1800); I can't find (2) for under £2k. To be honest, I can even see AMS-LHR-BKK-KUL-LHR-AMS for £1700...
Any other suggestions... or back to QR?
