- 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!

Books into J. The problem you may have with availability is there is only 1 x IST-BHX-IST flight a day, and it doesn't connect with many flights on the return. The TK system does not like showing next day connections (i.e. 20 hours, but with an overnight) - so try breaking your return flight down into multi leg return i.e. 13 Feb BKK-IST 14 Feb IST-BHX and you should get better availability

Top fares - and not available for MAN/LHR/LGW/EDI (where else do they go?!!).

When you say it books into J, do you mean the J fare bucket?
Just a shame the one route I was vaguely interested in only had availability 1 day in three months.

The ex-TIJ ands ex-MEX deal on Lan to IPC is still around, although you have to go out a few months to really find much availability.
For AA elite it's a bit over 32k rdms which more or less pays for a positioning flight. Thinking of doing this via a SAN border crossing. All in price is $1482 and allows stops in SCL and LIM, maybe more w creativity.

I hate to be one of those Fare Gone people, especially in my greenness.
But AA: LAX/JFK/LGA-SCL ~$1647ai (A,I) Gone?
I was checking it out last night, but now not getting it. I guess you snooze you loose.

DUB-MCO is pricing at around Ł1050 on American metal, Finnair website.
You can book directly with AA for a few Ł more for a more circuitous routing if you're chasing BA TPs.
