[PREMIUM FARE GONE] HU: BKK-PVG-BOS $512 Business one way

Just booked BKK-PEK-BOS in business for $512, one way. Ticketed in I class. Available for Mondays in March and most of April. Strange fare. There's a 7-hour layover in PEK but can't beat the price. Can book via the airline website (18,000 THB) or slightly more on Orbitz and others.

I just found Feb 22 using Google Flights. $18,000 Baht ticketed on Hainan = $495

Cool, fare is ILOW7BK. This will earn about 9,106 AS RDM if you credit to Alaska.

That's an amazing fare. Wide open in April, a few days in March. Great find!

I have a PEK-BKK on HU in business booked, and afaict it's going to be 5 hours on some pretty manky old chairs. Looks like the Boston leg is a 787...

How to get home afterwards? :-D

I know I've become a spoiled brat when I look at HU's B787 C seat and thumb my nose at the deal...

If you're going to spend 13.5 hrs in it, needs to be comfortable.

Pretty interesting, if you look at a listing in THB of all one way fares HU file, you will see what I mean.
Dates in the fare:
PERMITTED 10FEB 16 THROUGH 26APR 16 OR 01NOV 16 THROUGH 31DEC 16 ON THE OUTBOUND TRANSPACIFIC SECTOR
But I cannot find anything In Nov/Dec, actually I cannot find the PEK-BOS flight then, which is required in the routing rules (it seems to not be listed after 29Oct). IS HU481 not going to be operating then?

Edited to add: ouch, 4 hours on a 737 redeye BKK-PEK... that's a hard sell!

But doesn't BKKPEK book into first? Depending on the code it may be well compensated in points!

Books into I like the rest, which earns 125% on EY or HU. AS is a possibility too, but only 100% there
