- Fare feels too good to be true? Don't call the airline!!!!!!
- Double check that the fare is actually in Business or First as some online search engines or OTA's confuse booking classes on some airlines.
- Post as many details as possible about the First / Business fare, including fare class, fare basis, one-way / roundtrip, sales channel, sample dates & total price, including taxes.
- Post the details within the thread itself and not in the post title field as any information typed here cannot be seen by members accessing the thread using mobile devices.
- Refrain from posting fare requests or engaging in off topic debates such as fare trends, specific aircraft configuration or visa requirements
- The deeply discounted international fares discussed here are almost always specific to a certain country of origin, so don't ask if it works in reverse (e.g. a SFO-LHR-SFO fare usually won't work LHR-SFO-LHR). Domestic fares more commonly work in reverse.
- Last, but not least, Don't call the Airline!

If the fare was an S-UP fare if would have been a fare ending in WNUP
that is a distinct possibility. When I checked EF it was listed but not as an UP fare

i've found (and booked) MAD-SFO (LAX and SEA also available I think) around 1600-1700EUR with US Airways Envoy class (international) and first (domestic), with plenty of availability in August.

^^ Found it in usairways.es (usairways.com has different pricing... maybe PoS-related?)

I'm seeing MAD-DFW for €1575 on US, which is a great fare. Never flown US but may well give it a shot at that price.
Edit: Just looked at the product... think I'll leave it!

Found a nice holiday fare;
CPH-IST-BKK-SGN (return) for €1,888 on TK (J Class). May work from other European airports as well (e.g. ARN €1,827).
Not sure how J credits to particular airlines, but seems like a nice biz fare during a busy period.
Sample dates: 21 Dec 2013 - 7 Jan 2014 (on ITA)
