I have first 2 segments on TG in D, RGN-BKK-FRA. Last segment on DL in C, FRA-JFK.
Since it is DL stock I assume I can still credit the TG miles to UA. No problem with that even though TG ended up on DL stock right?

Various newbies killed it.

killed this. Most of the biggies coming to FT are being killed because FT attracts too much attention. Sorry but that's the new reality!

This ain't a typical mistake fare. The low price is due to the fare price being set in a currency that has _massively_ dropped since the beginning of April. For some reason the GDS rates haven't been updated?

I got in on one of these, booked through cheaptickets.hk. One-way RGN-BKK-ICN-LAX on Thai and Korean Air. First class for the last two segments for $254, with the long leg on the A380. Still says ticket pending, so I'll believe this when it tickets. Crossing my fingers though.

Booked and confirmed RGN-BKK-ICN-YVR return this September and January on Vayama for $720.

I already have 2 one way CX YVR-HKG-BKK awards booked for the August/September trip, so if this doesn't pan out I'm still good, but if it does I'll just move the return CX award to January.

True. Same is true of economy and business fares; I see ECONOMY fares as low as 18USD filed in ExpertFlyer for RGN to US destinations (one-way). And it's not limited to a single operating carrier as we've seen before; it's all carriers with valid fares.

All *A in D/Z/C

Decided to avoid KE, booked on BT (a first for me) using all TG, NH and UA. $880 RT business. Waiting for ticket, should be on NH stock, have my doubts it will pan out. Still, amazing deal.

Thanks again OP!

Yet I still don't think this will be ticketed, even if not a standard error-fare. For those who bought under Vayama at a sub $400 price--good for you!

Has anyone who bought on BT actually received ticket numbers yet?

That's huge though. To me, once ticket numbers are issued, a contract has been formed.

I still don't understand why people insist on calling for seats for an F/C itinerary.

What's the worst that can happen? A middle seat not in the first two rows of the C cabin, OH NO.....

Arrogant, selfish decisions such as this can lead to cancellations and problems for everyone involved. I'm sure that I would be perfectly satisfied if I was flying in KE F with no idea what seat I was going to get.
