- 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!

Sadly the timings are simply awful for this fare: at least two 4-16 hour layovers in PVG/KMG. MU755 only operates on Tuesdays and Saturdays.

CAI IST KUL on TK return in K for EUR 1.203
Just confirmed a refundable (!) K fare on TK ex CAI to KUL 08Nov / 11Nov for EUR 1.203. TK's Website offered a restriced K fare same dates for EUR 926 return.
Granted, there is the risk of an old C seat on the IST KUL sector AND you would have to get to CAI and back, but still...

Actually there is many Asia destinations fit 1200euro price for business from CAI with TK.
BKK,NRT, etc...
And Etihad-Qatar have cheaper offers...
where is logic?
