Has anyone successfully completed a booking on this fare? I have tried multiple dates but on TK the fare jumps at payment to over 12,000 EUR (2 pax), Kayak says 'Fare is no longer available' ((

Just throw some dates into the TK.com website (Aug 18-31 I think works - they have a 7 day view). Plenty of availability, although seems to be limited to 4 seats per flight. I was seeing GBP550 all-in, which is about $900.

Wednesdays out, Saturdays back seemed to be one of the keys. That was on the TK website. It comes up with very odd EUR6000 fares on the final payment page more often than not, but persistence paid off for a trip early next year at the lower target fare.

For the TK fare WAW-KUL, I had a lot of difficulty making availability show up on OTAs or price correctly on TK's own site for this trip, particularly in the last half hour or so after I confirmed dates with my wife. I ended up booking via Opodo, which seemed to work OK (but we'll have to see if they ticket it).
Spent ages trying to get the date combination and now waiting for it to be ticketed. Would be good to see this fare honoured and thus Christmas trip sorted.

July was wide open, now pretty much no availability. Amazing how fast these seats go. Managed to snatch Jun 16 - Jul 6 for $1713. THY.COM was time outing like crazy, got tix on Orbitz.

I couldn't get it to work on ITA. Gave up and eliminated SIN. Would have been nice though.

Wow so I just looked at the AAdvantage program rules and it looks like I cant earn AA miles for the MH segment because its operated by TK? Does that sound right? That is so different from the United MP program where flights are always based on the operating carrier.

I booked the fare last saturday (02 FEB) directly from the TK website. Got the booking reference and e-ticket numbers issued right away. Can they still cancel it after the e-ticket has been issued? Or will it be honored.
