- 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!

Found a filed fare on ExpertFlyer for REP (Siem Reap) to LAX on MH; one-way business fare of 712USD plus taxes and fees. Prices out about 1193USD one-way. Requires an overnight in KUL due to schedules and KUL-LAX (via NRT) is not a daily flight so some adjustments may be necessary to make it work. I was able to price it out on the Malaysia site in April. Books into D. Not bad if you need a one-way fare!
Edited to add: also available as a roundtrip for 1294USD plus taxes/fees (I priced it 2199USD all-in roundtrip), and is available from either REP or PNH via KUL.

Appears valid and prices the same for open jaw (thus you could fly PNH-LAX on your outbound and LAX-REP on your return). Changes permitted and refundable for USD40 service charge per fare rules.

Yes, roundtrip from either of PNH or REP-LAX and back. It does not appear to be valid to any other US city than LAX (the only one served right now by MH). Routing rules expressly dictate REP/PNH-KUL-TYO-LAX as the routing to (and reverse on the way back).
Appears valid and prices the same for open jaw (thus you could fly PNH-LAX on your outbound and LAX-REP on your return). Changes permitted and refundable for USD40 service charge per fare rules.

FYI, this fare dropped $20 today to $1,611.64. DL JFK-SVO 6/13-6/24. Unreal for lie flats.
