I think this is another case of search engines confusing booking codes. Kayak pulls up the fare, but jumping to Orbitz or Cheaptickets pulls up an Economy fare, while jumping to MH's site makes the price jump to regular J levels.

Well, there are only 5 international (Trans-pacific) gateways on the west coast of the 2 big North American countries, so not much imagination is needed.
Gateway furthest south is lowest, actually can be had just a bit lower than the SQ fare... but its not *A... good for OW. Another good one to the same place will be OW in the future.
Also a ST fare that is about equal to the SQ fare to the same northern city.

LAN is having a sale that winds up being $901 a/i from MIA to Quito or Guayaquil. Full flat bed, but it's only a 4 hourish flight. There are other destinations on sale, but Ecuador is the best deal.
Here's the link to their sale: http://www.lan.com/en_us/sitio_perso...business_EN_US

All right-y then! How about another GDPF to lighten the mood? Since we're all focused on Manila nowadays, another good option is Qatar Airways to Houston for around $3200 roundtrip (1-stop in Doha). Credit to BMI for 150% or UA for 125% (D class).

LON/DUB to BKK
Just booked DUB-FRA-BKK-VIE-LHR for 1319 all-in for early November -- LH on outbound and OS on the return. It books into Z, and I was able to add LHR-DUB for 39 on BD.

I noticed this as well, but it is funny that if you fly out of DOH to IAH, then the fare is $4-5k. Not sure why it is cheaper to fly out of MNL.
