SA/TK: LUN-LHR $1528 rt, D/J Class
I got this fare ticketed by Orbitz. Found it on ITA and Kayak. Tickets available on Cheaptickets and Orbitz websites as per Kayak. Fare is $521 + $1007 tax for business class! Ticket numbers as well SAA record locator received. I hope this fare is true and no airline/Orbitz repurcussions happen

Lots of dates actually. Still available. I just used ITA Software to find it using the flexible dates feature, and then booked via Amex Centurion.
No kidding? I would have loved to have LH on the way back, or even LX, but the fare went up significantly when I tried that. My agent couldn't even price out LX at the same rate I was seeing on ITA (only £150 more) -- it was £2,000 more for her. I'll survive on OS as I have before, and I'll definitely live it up with some SWUs on LH on the outbound.

Thanksgiving transatlantic fares in First, also-- LH/UA
Not sure if anyone is booking them, as seat maps are wide open on the flights I've checked, but SFO-LHR rt is $3640ai for A fare on UA. Works to FRA, MUC, also, for a hundred or so more dollars... seems like a better deal than the Z fares to me.

Yes, I think the airlines realize that most people aren't taking European vacation over thanksgiving because they have to see family. Also, business flights drop precipitously from the USA during these dates becasue of Thanksgiving. They realize this, and drop the prices because they know there are few people who can and will take advantage of this....

In recent years there have always been low US to Europe Z fares for travel during a period of two to three weeks around Christmas. Typically released between late August and October -- in other words, probably soon.
