FlyerTalk Forums Expert How-Tos and Guides

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!

Certainly good YVR-HKG C/J fare. But be warned, YVR-NRT is in JAL SkyRecliner and NRT-HKG is in SkyLuxe seat. None of which are lie-flat or flat-beds. You do get outstanding service and good food.

JAL SkyRecliner

This is a ridiculous deal. To make it even sweeter, if you credit Aegean Swiss P class earns 200%. So for that price you're getting 40,000+ miles which is just over 6 CPM. You'll also have * Gold status is locked in as well.

LAN biz
MIA-BOG - $699
MIA-UIO - $799
MIA-LIM - $1299
MIA-SCL - $2199
MIA-EZE - $2199

Obviously the latter two aren't good deals compared to some of the deals we just had, but they're still quite good in the general scheme of things.

Important to remember that LAN Colombia will not be a oneworld affiliate until Q4 2013 so no mileage credit to OW partners on this route.

The BA fares had to be booked by 24/4. Assuming LH were matching, so their fares have gone too.

Nice J deal on AZ from MIL to FOR (Fortaleza - Brasil) 1.350€ all-in, books in I
Guess it might work from other cities too.
Available only in May as this route won't be operated during summer

Hope this can help who is looking to build ST status

A belated but big thanks for posting this. Helped make a complicated SFO-BRU-DAC RT possible by providing a modestly priced AMS-KUL-AMS RT.

DL: HNL-SJU $619 ~ 6.44 cents/MQM (with flat bed seats!)

HNL-SLC-ATL-SJU or
HNL-LAX-ATL-SJU
HNL-SEA-ATL-SJU

Works the other direction as well.

9610 MQMs (incl 50% class bonus). With DM status and Amex Reserve card, you will earn ~ 18,856 SkyMiles or 3.28 cents/mile. Not bad for a premium fare.

I booked this trip in January, but it is available again with lots of dates from now until end of the year. Prices are a little higher starting in January.

If you pick the right times you could get flat bed seats from HNL to LAX on a 763 and flat beds on a 777 or 767 from LAX to ATL.
