- 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!

It may not be in business class but you may force a fare split on something like this

Found what I think is a pretty interesting fare out of JFK over Thanksgiving ...
11/25 (or 11/26) JFK-LHR
11/29 DUB-JFK
$1417 AI RT on DL, booking into Z. About $850 or so is fuel. The return leg can be from other destinations:
LIS $1448
BCN $1514
MAD $1519
BSL $1537
GVA $1539
BRU $1544

JFK-LHR-JFK is ~$1,615 while JFK-LHR//DUB-JFK is ~$1,415. APD is $210.
If you can get to DUB for less than $200 or have a reason to go to DUB (or the other cities) then it makes sense.

DPS-LHR on Malaysian
First post here, and alas I suspect this deal may be too late to be useful. Throwing it out there in case someone can find available dates better than I.
Bookable on malaysiaairlines.com: Sept 22nd DPS-LHR in business class (ZBTOWID) for ~$1430 (A380).
Could not find a return in the same promo sale inventory, looks like it would price out at about $2600 return if I could
. Bali from Europe is generally expensive so would be keen on that in either direction since I'm basing myself here for a few months.
Malaysia Airlines have a one day sale announced for economy fares, I guess this is related. Might be other city pairs on sale.
