- 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!

Is anyone having any luck at getting the UA segments with a stop at EWR on the return to price out on UA.com? I have tried several ways on UA with round-trip and the multiple destination but it keeps saying flights aren't available that meet my criteria or forces me through IAH. Although, I can get this to price out on orbitz correctly, does anyone know if this would still earn full PQM?
If you found it on Orbitz I would book it. Do you have a free cancellation window with them?

I don't see why it wouldn't earn full PQM. I looked for a stopover for the return (SJU-HAW-EWR-SJU) thinking I would defer the EWR-SJU leg until next year and had no luck. The price went through the roof. I didn't see anything in the fare rules that didn't allow a stop-over (I'm not an expert reading the rules) but still had no luck.

Saw a Delta flight on KLM.com from Frankfurt to Denver for 1431 Euro in fare basis ZPR0DE. Didn't really play much around with the options and other dates.
Departure I picked was July 13th with return August 4th (sorry was in German when I did a test booking).
Frankfurt/Main (Frankfurt Intl.) - Denver (Denver Intl.) - Rckflug
Hinflug: Sa 13 Jul 13 09:40 Frankfurt/Main - 16:44 Denver
Rckflug: So 4 Aug 13 08:00 Denver - Mo 5 Aug 13 07:55 Frankfurt/Main
EUR 1.430,98 pro Erwachsener

A reminder that *A is matching (CDG-YVR is pricing around $3,200 CAD) however fare expires at midnight on 06May, which has already passed for some of us.

Egyptair one day sales
you can find BUD-BKK-BUD for 936EUR in C on MS -a lot of dates year round, check matrix - matrix doesn't shows discounted prices right now. All MS fares are discounted by 25%, but only today (7th May).
Attractive BUD-NRT-BUD flights too. It looks like BUD is the cheapest departure for MS EU-Asia-EU flights...
MS C product is below average but for this price I took it in consideration...

Do you know the ticket change rules? It's not clear for me.
Thanks.

They are possible, limited to Cairo and Bangkok (if you ticket yourself to Kuala Lumpur).
But there's usually something extra to pay, but not always If you want BKK and KUL it can be better to open-jaw and get a one-way Air Asia between the two.
Worth remembering that the B777 is absolutely fine, but the BUD CAI service is an Embraer. And for those who care, the flights are dry - as is the lounge at Cairo.

code share is not permitted so stopovers are limited...
exATH can be better as BKK is just over 1.000 EUR and the shorter leg is served by A321/737.
