Cheap Business Class fares?
I am looking to fly from the US to MNL in October or November of this year. I would like to try out KE and go in Business class. Fares on NW and CO starting from LAX are at $2500, but KE is about $4500. Is there any way to find a KE fare to MNL departing from US or Canada between $3000 and $3900?? Does KE have a fare sale sometimes?

If you want that kind of fare you're pretty much stuck with NW, CO, PR, or HA. I think its pretty much PR that sets that price and the others match for market share. None of the better Tier Asian carriers even come close on that route.

For your mileage sake, fly CO or NW in paid business, earn EQM, EQS, and RDM... then book award flights on KE business or premium class, especially given such a great pricing with NW and CO (2500 USD for business class across the pacifc is a really good deal).
