- 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!

Thanks! I needed a one way to AKL and constructed one using this special offer. Funny thing, the fare rule was sale 'on/ before 2DEC' so i was not in a hurry, but while playing with options Matrix once shown increased price, i checked ExpertFlyer and realised all fares were withdrawn...
I used MAA which is a bit cheaper and where my company has a shared services center worth visiting.
I booked on Expedia, which was still showing fares available but I doubt it gets ticketed... Actually it has just got!

For those booking the MH deals - the deal expired at 23:59 02 Dec 2013 Malaysia Standard Time (GMT +8) - hence it expired earlier than usual for Europe/US based passengers.

Looks like AA have updated their fare info for the AMS-GRU trips for ~ €2300. Can work it to get 77W on all non-intra-C2 flights. Includes one free stopover in each direction.
I've played around on Matrix, AA, and Expedia, and can get an example itinerary of AMS-DFW//DFW-GRU//GRU-DFW//DFW-AMS for €2875. Substituting MIA/JFK brings it up just a touch more (in my searches), but still wondering if anyone has some hints/tips on getting that final €500 off.
Any thoughts?

Any thoughts?
to get what I wanted I had to book online what AA sugested, then call and change the routing, they can force the fare if the routing is valid.
fyi I think a few days ago AA increased this I fare for ~500 USD

Most of the MH fares have been re-published at the same or similar rates and now must be issued between 03 DEC 2013 and 13 DEC 13.

This by the ever-estimable CokeandTaco deserves a bump.
Routings SFO-JFK-MIA-MDE then back MDE-MIA-ORD-SFO will accrue 9495 actual BIS mi, for ALL First/Business travel, at 6.8 cpm -- less than I've paid for many seats in deep disc economy over the years!
Caution: an overnight in MDE seems unavoidable. Plan/budget accordingly.
1 of these on a Status Challenge, and you're Plat. Fly 7, and you're 300 EQPs short of EXP.
Which you may not fully enjoy if US Customs has "marked" you as a narco-trafficker.
