- 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!

LAN MIA-SCL-MVD-SCL-MIA 1537 USD ai
Hi, was checking the economy class "promo" fare for the route and decided to check pricing on Business Class. Great fare! be advised that LAN flies a 767 only once or twice a week from SCL-MVD, otherwise it's premium economy...
Not as good as the IPC deal, but still!

Assume this doesn't contravene any cross-posting rules...
American Airlines have some fares out of Dublin to the Caribbean. It looks as if you can be creative - best I've found so far was 38k miles, 1200 BA tier points for £1350.
Book before June 7th.
Enjoy!

ANC-SFO ANC-LAXRT Both for approx $1,050
I am not sure if this is a good premium fare for anyone else or the cpm formula, but when I route through MSP, I receive 12,000EQMs for approx $1,000. I've booked one to SFO and two to LAX.
DL's nonstop ANC-LAXRT prices at $869 if you can find the seats but that is not nearly as good as routing through MSP (maybe you freaks,and I mean that in the very best, jealous way
, can do better and find routing through ATL??).
Also not great at all, but I figured I would mention it, is DL is offering a $570RT first class fare on their summer ANC-SEA route. This is what we Alaskans were paying for the lowest supersaver COACH fare (if yo could find that!) just a few months ago. AS charges $623 ONE WAY for that fare.
Perhaps someone can post the rules of the fares. I found the ANC-SFO one all the way to Thanksgiving weekend! I am in the process of booking that one now. As stated before DL's ANC-SEA is just seasonal through late August (as is the ANC-LAX non-stop). I did not look extensively for the ANC-LAX fare (with stops) much past summer, but I don't think I could find it after September.

Bridgetown came out at a smidge over £1150. Routed through LHR and MIA going out, MIA JFK coming back. With option of adding in any of TPA, MCO, IAD (for TP lovers) between MIA and JFK: or LHR (for convenience) between JFK and DUB, an extra £30 or so.
My travel dates are October.

Hello AA flyers. Just wanted to share my experience finding an excellent F fare ex CMB.
Here it is:
CMB - BOM (Jet Z/Business), 737-800
BOM - LHR (Jet A/First), 777-300ER
LHR - JFK (BA A/First), 747-400 with the new FIRST product
overnight
JFK - MIA (AA A/First), 767-200
Fare: $1699 + $417.90 tax = $2116.90 one-way basis
I booked the ticket through Fare Buzz, but on my credit card, the actual charge appears as American Airlines.

The fare you "found" has been around for several years and has been discussed extensively.
