Question about CX biz fares

Dear FT members, could you guys share your opinions?🙂

I saw one way biz ticket on an OTA few weeks ago.
The fare was 615 EUR from KUL to CDG with CX.
Booked it and got a confirmed ticket with PNR, after 1 hour.
I am checking the ticket everyday on CX's web and it's still there.

Is this a "mistake fare" ticket?

Quite nervous now because I will fly next month and maybe CX will not honor the ticket when I check in?

Thank you.

If you have an e-ticket number and confirmation number, you are good.

The secret to flying these wonderful fares that never make it on FT and/or blogs is not to attract attention to them. You got lucky, ticketed, i would say you’re good to go, the fare didn’t get booked hundred or thousands of times, so neither CX or the OTA probably know or care about it.

I think you may be conflating it with a separate mistake fare this week, except it's on NH, not CX. For those here who may have missed it:

You scored an excellent CX fare, but I don't think it was any sort of mistake, as is true for most fares posted in this group. A $300 r/t ticket in NH F (not just J!) is a definite mistake – they're normally over $10K – but none from CX have been reported since the pre-pandemic days.

@ fly-fly: Confirm that your reservation includes an e-ticket number. A PNR is only holding a confirmed reservation if it has been ticketed with this number. Great deal!

I don’t think anyone got a $300 RT in NH F.

Should you ever find this fare again from KUL or Southeast Asia, please feel free to DM me and I'll book one and fly it out myself to make sure the ticket works

Let us in on this deal!!

Am sore that the NH ANA mistake fare never made it here to FT before Bloomberg got hold of it.

The NH flash sale was posted on FlyerTalk long before Bloomberg had it.

Ugh you're right! I was looking in the wrong forum in the ANA chat group.
