Maybe they can borrow umlauts and tilda's instead. Or use schwa (the upside down e).

BTW this offer (or a very similar one) has been around for quite a while. A similar one was available from Germany but AFAIK has ended on 30 Nov.

The C-class fare seems pretty run of the mill, unless you value the non-stop element: and certainly no mileage-run opportunity. TK have had promotional fares around £1K (at least from BHX), while £1400 is usually the middle-east carriers low-level C fare - Qatar is £1400 in January, and you can credit their miles to some alliance FFP. I'm travelling with Kuwait that month for around £1250 (no miles, but the fare is king here). Egyptair is another opportunity (and it's STAR !).

Finnair J Class: Ex UK to SYD - £1712

Hello Chums,
Available from 29th Dec, returning throughout Jan to the end of Feb, I didnt check beyond that so YMMV.

Please note the cheap fare only departs MAN and arrives LHR.

Routing: MAN-HEL-HKG/BKK-SYD::SYD-HKG/BKK-HEL-LHR

Fare Code: IFLEXEU - €115 change fee in each direction, 75% refundable before date of outbound sector.

Business Saver
Changes are permitted, subject to certain limitations, against a change fee within the time of validity of the ticket. Please check exact time of validity at the Finnair office.
The change fee is EUR 115 per direction.
If the ticket is changed to a higher fare, the difference between the fares is also charged.
A service fee is applied for changes.

Before the day of departure of the whole trip the refund is 75% of the ticket price excluding taxes.
No refund on the day of departure or after departure.

TIER POINTS!! = 600, enough to hit BA Silver

Im booked on the 28th Dec but for £1910 and thought I had a bargain - which it was of course! Lesson - Once booked, never look back!!

The $682 (o/w ++) fare is for NYC to Lisbon. For CPH it's $782 (o/w ++). Not sure why the fares are especially ow for these two cities. For most other cities the fares are similar to fares being offered by United, except United requires a 21 day advance purchase.

Double this and add LH swingeing taxes/YQ, price still reasonable under $2,000 return.

Pretty good deal! For Qantas frequent flyers this would earn 640 status credits, just shy of the 700 required to attain Gold status.

£1712 is just over AUD $3,000 so this equates to roughly $4.70 per sc which is not too bad. Great for those in Europe needing to travel to Australia.
