About 24hrs after the op posted the fare this thread has over 100k views and close to 700 posts.

With such huge attention to this, I really wonder how many tickets have been sold.

I received a confirmation email from Vayama with ref #s for Alitalia, Vietnam Airlines and Etihad for my FLR-CDG-SGN-HKG-(AUH)-DUS

When I go to all 3 sites AZ site only shows FLR-CDG-SGN legs on itin, VN shows CDG-SGN-HLG (which are the legs actually operated by VN), but EY shows whole itin.

None let me select seats, though.

Anyone able to help me read into this? Not about to call any airline to start asking and ruin the whole thing, but would like to get a sense of how it's leaning...

CPT on which dates?

It was July via Skyscanner.
Rechecked it now but unfortunately it's pulled.

How many are sold? Too many to let this one slide, especially because they are spread over many airlines. That is my uneducated guess.

Back to the ordinary lives it is then :) Oh Wait, I might have to sort positioning to FLR for Thursday SOON. I think I will wait till Tuesday.

My estimate would be around 10-20k sold, at a loss of 1.5k each on average, we are looking at Euro 20-30MM hit to the AZ bottomline. no way can this one slide on the whole, but some tickets hopefully will :)

Luckily I can drive to DUS. Simple Avios redemption to FLR from there seems to work.

On BA from LHR you can do BLQ, rent a car and drive the 80km to FLR.

Booked myself Easter weekend in Seoul and Auckland, then August bank holiday around the world trip! FLR-CDG-LAX-SYD-MEL-AUH-DSS for £590!

Any tips for new years weekend? Almost booked Panama, but that's gone now

There's still Y and J Avios availability on the Weds and Thurs morning LCY flights, all sorted :p

On eBookers, there's a good deal on DUS-XXX-FLR (XXX is either a US or Canadian city) for 500 UKP (I am suspecting this is part of the deal too), should I pull the trigger now? If my FLR-XXX-DUS gets canned I will have no use of this ticket other than weekend trip to EU.

I'd be extremely happy if I was able to fly my (simple) routing to SIN.

Finally a fare that finished at my base.
But we'll see.

I don't know if some of us might just booked too much ...
