- 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!

True, cheap
But 10K is for quiet season, I looked for first week of October and it's 18K plus tax
And it's a 3 hour flying + time on the ground detour.
Plus I'm not the biggest fan of Satays or Guava juice. I'm about as excited to go on MH J as I would be on CX W.
That said I'm itching to see if Maldives redemption availability will turn up on 1 Feb. I won't mind burning miles to fly MH J there.

But at least provide some possibility for MRs

Can't seem to locate on ITA any of those great JFK-IST business class seats (Except on Air Berlin?) from mid-May through June. Have they disappeared?

Still available though availability is scarce. You have to use the search code on ITA to search only DL+ and also choose nonstop. Seeing dates at the end of April and beginning of May. Another example just verified is May 5-15th.

If Delta shows it as business on their website, I guess you can expect to fly business. What do the fare rules say?
On the other hand, the fare aligning is a fact. AFKL and Delta fare classes will very soon be exactly the same.

Stimpy, I'm also holding S class biz tickets for Feb and March. Even though Delta is changing their fare classes, I highly doubt that they won't honor both the class in which you bought your ticket, as well as the correct MQM crediting.

Can anyone find dates in April? Is this a mistake? Wish some Star Alliance carriers would match!

LH LAX-MUC-IST on united.com $1719 AI (sample 5/12 - 5/25). Pretty sweet, although there are frequent Y deals on this route for $700 or less, unlike other transatlantic routes.

I saw that too. One question though, I've seen a lot of posting regarding P fares not able to get the 150% PQM. Does this happen to fare like this?
