Just booked this one on 2 itineraries all ticketed on AA.
1-9.2.2016 HEL-MIA-SFO-LHR-HEL 14250 EQM for 415$ at 2.91cpm
2-8.2.2016 SFO-JFK-NRT-CGK-NRT-JFK-SFO 25880 EQM for 775$ at 2.99cpm
With AA PLT I'm rounding up a good 80260 RDM at 1.48cpm
Good start for the year for reaching EXP
There are still bunch of good deals for HEL-US and US-CGK go & grab them!
edit: thanks aktchi for the missing sfo ending

Great deal, as you are already located in HEL.
I presume that your second trip does end at SFO, not JFK?
From purely CPM point of view, I guess you'd be better off simply doing your HEL-SFO trip repeatedly, but it does get boring.
Congratulations on managing to avoid LAX, LGA, and ORD.
Enjoy, and safe travels!

And for the repeat, I just wanted to get to somewhere warm in the midst of the MR

Newbie here. Great find.
Can someone please help me find and purchase the itinerary below. I've tried Google flights, but the prices are coming no where close to $775. I'm trying to do this trip over a weekend -- Fri-Sun in 2016

This is a great find indeed, though 3 days in Cgk is 3 days too much for me. I suggest a quick flight to Dps.
The Sfo-Cgk run, as the itinerary suggests, cannot be done over a weekend. At minimum, you need Friday-Monday. I've found the OP's $775 itin within Google Flights as follows:
Sfo-Jfk 2Feb,
Jfk-Nrt 3Feb,
Nrt-Cgk 4Feb,
Cgk-Jfk 7Feb, and
Jfk-Sfo 8Feb.
These legs/dates may differ from what OP has booked; for better results, enter the query into ITA and play with the advanced routing codes and dates.
PS.- Merry Christmas all!

I thought about DPS but got really good deal for hotel in Jakarta and there might be a chance of IRROPS in DPS which could mess up everything.
Singapore could be one option as well!
ps. Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to all of you too!

Nice find! If I had enough vacation days I'd book it straight away as I did a similar run in December for 7 straight days and flew 40050 miles. Had a great time!

OP is leaving HEL on Feb NINTH (9/2), presumably arriving SFO on the same day, but then leaving from SFO for JFK-NRT-CGK on Feb EIGHTH (8/2)? I am puzzled.

Thank you OP for bringing these fares to our attention! I did not know that SFO was selling so cheap from HEL.

Nice find! I did something similar with the ex-Europe fares to California and the SFO-CGK fares, except I routed out of CPH to LAX via LHR. The $400 CPH-LAX fares are gone unfortunately, but there are still some decently-priced ones.
