- 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!

AY fare ex BUD to BKK really is decent but dates are "patchy" and BUD isn't that easy to reach from N Italy (without stopover)
FR from BGY isn't much of an option for me

MH is running a business class fare sale ex-ICN to SE Asia and Australia until 30NOV13. The best deals appear to be to Australia; ICN-KUL-SYD/MEL RT is available for ~1,440 USD, and other cities should be similar as the base fare is identical (ZBCF2MKR).
One stopover each way free. Min stay is 2 days, max stay is 2 months; changes allowed at 150,000 KRW each, cancellations for 200,000 KRW.

This is definitely a mistake fare as the base fare filed is approx. $600 rt. I had no problem ticketing on Orbitz. Let's see if it sticks.

LAX-NAS; J/F, ~400USD one-way, 750USD r/t
I'm seeing great fares to Nassau from LAX (other cities probably included) for $400 one-way, around $750r/t. I was able to book a routing via NYC on UA. LAX-EWR, overnight stop then EWR-NAS the next morning. I also found it bookable on DL, LAX-JFK, overnight stop then LGA-NAS (nonstop) in the morning. Many excellent routing possibilities including premium cabins on all major carriers from LAX-JFK/EWR and fare options available.
Available on all airline sites and OTAs. Does not appear to be an error fare, just a great discounted premium cabin fare. Booked mine for December, many other dates available according to ITA matrix. Some dates and fares are higher than others (in the 800-900 range roundtrip).

Strange. I booked on UA about 24 hours ago, with a stop in NYC in both directions (via EWR, with LAX-EWR-LAX portions scheduled on BusinessFirst-equipped 757) for about $820. Assumed it was higher due to stopovers...didn't check the fare rules super closely on this one as I was in a hurry! I also didn't realize I could force-book the Delta BizElite transcon flights which I discovered after my 24-hour free cancellation period was up.

That ex-KEF CZ fare presents some interesting opportunities. Lots of interesting stopover opportunities: I found a good routing using the AMS-PEK flight on the outbound, with stopovers in AMS and PEK, travel on to HGH and then with a stopover in LHR on the return (to lessen APD on shorter LHR-KEF segment).
Tried to get 787 on at least one segment, but looks like fare is valid 27 Oct onwards and that is when the 787 gets moved off LHR-CAN. Mix of 332 and 333 on other routes seem to have all flat bed in business though, so seems like a decent hard product for a night of sleep.
Don't have time to book or find positioning flights to KEF, so hoping it remains bookable for a few days ;-)

Unfortunately, no one can be told what the Matrix is. You have to see it for yourself.
