Last edit by: Sykes
  • 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!

Basically Air NZ LHR-LAX £1,453 inclusive. Available throughout April & possibly more on Air NZ's own website. I havn't dug deeper as not relevant - but an excellent fare with possible mileage opportunities, other dates, routes etc...
too bad someone called Air NZ...

I think NZ already knew this before his PA called NZ.

Definitely a great deal, giving NZ's acclaimed 772 C cabin and 125% RDM on UA.

Otherwise I can only use $2K+ to book TATL flights on UA metal on W fares and apply GPUs, while UA's C (even PMCO) is a notch down than NZ's C cabin.

Just be aware Scoot Business class is closer to premium economy.

Edited: that was a one-way fare, and here are other options ex-LAX:
DL 2337 in Z
NH 2506 in P
UA 2506 in P

these are one-way fares

Round trip fares must originate in TPE and I see
DL 2029 through June 20 in Z class
NH 2568 in P class
UA 2569 in P class

these are round trip
