How are you entering this on exp.hk because all I get are either errors or no BA results at all.
I can book a simple RT FRA-LHR-HK however including any stopovers proved to be impossible after a couple hours trying.
Displaying the routing on ITA is meaningless since you can't book anything there as we all know.

Thanks but the problem with this one is
a) the longhaul flights are roughly a year ahead from now +
b) it is significantly more expensive than 9300 HKD (likely due to APD tax).
I'm trying to get this done for leaving in May and returning in December. Availability is there for the longhaul flights to/from HKG and it prices properly but when I star to throw in the stopovers it blows up.

I tried my times from HKG--SIN---LHR--somewhere in German. but it doesn't work if the starting place is HKG.
Actually I base on Hongkong and scheduled 2 weeks ( any time in July) travel to London , then back to HK.
Does someone know how the fantastic fare work on my plan?

Hi. Great fare. I want to return on 28 March 2016 - problem is booking engine on expedia only allows up to 20 March. Since the fare is valid only for 5 more days I don't think it will catch up in time.
Anyone know any other HK OTA that will allow flights further out than Expedia?

Is this fare only bookable using a TA: I am in HKG at can't get the fare to show on the BA website but it is obviously available on Expedia? I want to go via PVG, connecting to HKG on CX but I want to upgrade LHR-PVG to First and can't do it if booked via a TA...

Try using britishairways.de
Also, BA.com is a bit rubbish. You could book by phone?

If you buy from BA (by phone) and tell them you want to travel at later dates than are permitted by the system, they will make a note in the PNR and the change fee will be waived.

That is a good question but... I wouldn't count on it that this works. To be honest the drop of the YQ on Exp is not really justified in my opinion. The ticket originates in Germany. Do to HK rules apply? Zuji charges full YQ.

However these tickets could be part of a sale.
Cheers.

EDIT: I've had a play with the Matrix and found something around the 923GBP mark. All of a sudden lots of fares - except weekend departures, when the price doubles again..!
