Good Deal Premium Fares 2013
 

Happy 2013! This is the 2013 edition of the 'Good Deals Premium Fares' mega thread.
Each year, a new thread is created to make reference to the current year's deals easily readable, without clutter from last year's expired sales etc.

Sometimes a F or Biz fare will be posted in the main MR Deals thread, but we created this mega thread so that the fare may be preserved a bit longer, for FTers to have that little extra time before the fare gets pulled. This thread may assist, so subscribe to it or check it for new deals!

This is a continuation of this thread:
Good Deal Premium Fares 2012
Good Deal Premium Fares 2011
Good Deal Premium Fares 2010

Feel free to update this 2013 thread with relevant Good Deal fares in Business, First and Suites classes!

Seems like a decent enough cash fare to China, and IMO a better deal than those AA/UA fares everyone was raving about earlier.

Looks wide open - searched mid-February and found it.

Yes, what dates are avail? Thanks.

Nice. Let's hope UA will match :)

NH F from the East Coast US to NRT was possible for about 3500-3800 USD AI with the earlier UA fare, so this (while still not bad) is not quite as good IMO.

The OneWorld fare in the 2012 Premium thread.

ex ATH to California.

Going to do, ATH-LHR-LAX-SFO.

Any suggestions for getting the most out of the return?

Was thinking of SFO-DFW-PHX-LHR-ATH but would appreciate suggestions as to what would yield the most points. Want to fly the transatlantic sectors on BA.

This has a MPM of 8169 with deductions for transiting an AA hub. If you are after points/miles then try something like ATH-LHR-MIA-LAX-SFO and v.v.
That should be $3,068 all-in.

Lots of availability, although dates are a bit restricted ...

Not a bad deal at all.

Someone posted an UA one-way fare LAX-NAS $400 on the 2012 thread. SFO is also available for $422. Not sure about the seats on the transcontinental sector.

Also available on AA, and it's possible to get 777 F on a LAX-MIA leg provided you're willing to do MIA-NAS on a RJ with only Y:

... is $418.20. Works from SFO too.

Didn't realize this was one-way -- thought you were saying it was ~$500 r/t which would have been amazing.

Use ITA Matrix to find this. Plenty of March dates for ~$1050 r/t. Routing through DFW gets more miles but you're flying 737 and MD-80. SFO-DFW-LGA gets 8559 EQPs on AA, though, so about 12 cpEQP. Not terrible.

In an effort to keep the discussion focused on Premium fares a number of conversational posts have been removed. Please post only fantastic fare finds in First or Business classes or relevant follow-up questions.

Thanks!
