Premium Fare deal thread to publish any good value premium fares that members find that are good for earning club points on CX.
These fares don't have to start in HKG, and they don't have to be on CX. You can position to other places in Asia / Europe, and this information can also be useful for members who don't live in HKG.
There is also a general FT Premium Fare deals forum: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/premium-fare-deals-740/

Premium Fare Deals Thread
As a way for MPC members to find good club point earning deals, I thought it would be a good idea to create a Premium Fare deal thread.
These fares don't have to start in HKG, and they don't have to be on CX. You can position to other places in Asia / Europe, and this information can also be useful for members who don't live in HKG.
Please use this format when posting deals, and feel free to update the Wiki:
Date fare checked | Price per Club Point | Total Price (HKD) | Total Club Points | Route | Booking Classes | Airlines | Travel Period | Book By | Notes

QR "R" Class does not earn Club Miles and Asia Miles. So I don't think you can get 170 club miles for this booking. You have to be careful with Qatar.

For the record over the past three months I have purchased the following fares:
HKG-DFW-EWR on AA: HKD23048. Depart Fri 30th Sept, return Sun 9th Oct. Bought on AA.com HK site. I class
HKG-DFW-EWR on AA: HKD22309 Depart Sat 17th Dec, return Mon 2nd Jan. Bought on Zuji.com.hk. I class
HKG-DOH-LHR on QR: HKD18,163. Depart Fri 9th Sept, return Sat 17th Sept. Bought QR.com I class. Layover in DOH is 3hrs on way over, 1.5 on the way back
All prices include taxes/fees
I’m curious if anyone has ever seen lower Business class fares to London/NY on oneworld airlines that still earn points/miles. Sub 20k HKG – NYC would be great!

There used to be a frequent MH sale that would have HKG-LHR for around $18k IIRC. Haven't seen this for a while. As it is now, the generally available LHR fare is $23k in D class earning 200 club points. This is more club points than the CX D class fare at 180 points, albeit with a stopover in KUL for the MH fare.

Try searching from Oslo (Norway) on CX site.
Couple weeks ago did a search:
Oslo-X-LHR-HKG-LHR-X-Oslo was approx. HK$14-15K in I class
Oslo-X-LHR-HKG-Syd-HKG-LHR-X-Oslo was approx. HK$20-21K in I class... effectively an extra 6K in business class from Hong Kong to Sydney...
Both ways stopover allowed in HKG...
Another good resource on FlyerTalk is the premium fare deals section where there are a lot more premium deals:
http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/searc...6600&query=HKG
Try searching HKG in there a lot comes up...

I'm assuming that you are referring to JNB-HKG--> USA?
Did it before the changeover in PEY...
Now given the biz points are about double the PEY points but the biz price is about 2.5 times PEY it really depends on the amount of time you have available
Happy wandering

Although this is not particularly stunning in terms of earning club points, premium economy to Australia from HKG is currently $11k all-in. On sale until end of June for travel until January 2017 with the only black out being Christmas. I haven't seen fares this cheap ever and this matches Qantas. CX is really bleeding...
