I was looking for a business class flight to europe for a last minute trip and after looking thru a range of east and west coast gateways to try to avoid the $7k fare I was seeing for ex-SEA I found that SQ is selling JFK-FRA pretty cheaply, right up until departure for about $2700 RT AI. This is a decent fare, particularly right up against the departure date, the only thing I could find to rival it is AI out of ORD and Icelandair out of a number of gateways. Fare basis is DSPCLTA and the only real restrictions I see are a max 30 day stay.

Seeing as the terms on the page specifically say "to select destinations in Europe and the USA" and the only selections in the 'From' dropdown are in India, I would think this is only ex-India

They are severely threatened by the Gulf carriers, who are selling C class ex-India for under 1 lakh (100,000/-) rupees, so this is not that great a deal, unless you like flying LH!

But that is a good deal on SQ too.

Business Class UA SEA-TPE $2813 all-in
Received an e-mail about SEA-TPE fares and checked Expedia for Business Class fares. Booked as two one-way tickets, and with the SEA-SFO segment booked in Economy, the total cost round trip was $2812.90 all-in for the dates 11/11-11/18/2009. Other dates were higher.
