- 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!

Still lots of availability in Feb/March. I found it easiest to search for IST-DPS first to get an idea of when cheapest prices are available then add the stops around these dates. You can fly until 31 March, 3 day minimum stay.

JL just announced that their new Sky Suite 767 product will be introduced on this route from December 9, 2013 -- which is a steal at this price.

Can you give fare details and or dates.
I believe the thread that posted the details on this fare originally said for departures through November. The sky suites don't start until December. And for those purchasing tickets on JAL, they have a horrible product at present on the YVR-NRT flights until the new suites come in December.
