  • 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!

Interested in the ex-KEF CZ fare too. For simple trip to CAN, bookable well into next summer, optionally overnight in AMS on the way out, return via LHR but also found via CDG or AMS. Codeshares with KL and AF available for a few extra quid.

Expedia is telling me Ł799 for this, refundable

Tough to get to KEF from USA except by FI. Any other alternatives?

DL fly's to KEF from JFK.
Beware of CZ's J product as well. The hard product is ok (seats like old NW WBC) but the soft product is terrible at best. Food is awful and choice of 2 Trader Joe 2 buck chuck quality wines, champagne worse than andre and for Booze, Chinese whiskey or Bacardi Rum. They have never heard of Vodka. Don't expect the FA's to understand English well either. I just flew RGN-CAN-AMS in J 3 weeks ago on the infamous RGN fare. Had I actually paid the going rate, I would have been really upset.

Is this a seasonal flight? I don't see it listed in Nov/Dec/Jan. This ex-KEF fare is only valid after Oct 27th.

Doesn't work for this fare unless you can plan all the way into next summer.

I'm seeing some really good Intl F fares for LHR-SFO in Oct.

F non stop R/T on UA for or fly through Zurich on LX on outbound and return UA non-stop for <$5000 on 10/19 - 10/25.

KEF still working.

I noticed OSL-VIE-PEK r/t for $1658 USD on OS. That seems like a pretty good deal, too. Dates in March. Rules aren't quite as good as the KEF fare.
