- 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!

Post #915 above kinda reflects the ongoing SJU-XXX-HNL r/t price I've been eying [for past 3 weeks] for my final EXP Status Run @ 1238$. On AA the r/t is 12253 EQM, 18380 EQP, or ~24,500 RDM + COS bonus depending on specific routing (and 100% miles match). Some good part of that RDM probably comes from the Amex Reserve so I suppose if I used the Citi Card I'd get an extra 2500 RDM--still a chunk less RDM and thus higher cpp @ +/- .045. Unfortunately the DAL metal looks to be higher quality

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.

I booked roundtrip, starting in SJU. Don't know about OW. For next January because doing it now would push me from Gold to Plat, and I'm happy with Gold. This run gives me a great start for next year.
I'm not a mileage run purist, so will spend a week in HNL. Hotels are really high then, but I found a good deal via Airbnb.

The rate was there several months ago. I know it has gone away and come back at least twice.

Thanks to terminalfive
Mods - feel free to merge thread with Existing "BA sale thread" but I thought it worth pointing out some Great return fares to US ex EUR
Not sure if this is in response to a LH fare of 1499€ to NYC ex FRA / MIL etc
Haven't checked all countries but as far as I can see Italy is working out as the cheapest option
some examples?
-> MIL - NYC 1460€ in J Incl LCY flights if wanted (works out @ 1500€)
-> MIL - MIA 1670€ in J
-> MIL - LAX 2018€ in J (not amazing but OK)
If you've also got shareholder discount you can make a LIN - LHR / LCY - JFK - LCY / LHR - MIL at 1400€ (less than 1200£) for 500 TP's
Also found SYD at amazing price OUT in J returning in F ex MIL at 3564€-- Not bad I reckon
AZ - LH have both got similar prices
