Theoretically yes, practically not all of them work due to different restrictions, plus how Irkutst is available is beyond me. Wanted to add it into picture for May, but it won't budge on any other month except March.

My guess is, ExpertFlyer probably cannot show more than 500 routings at once so there may be more possible routings available?

Couldn't find Irkutsk in the routings given. Maybe there are more allowed than those 500 listed. Irkutsk in March is a pretty frosty proposition. Take warm clothing.
I also like Tashkent and Marrakech from the list. Rare to see them in pop up.

This fare is actually to Istanbul which allows also routing via Itkutsk and Tel Aviv.

Since this fare is actually intra-Europe (Istanbul is counted as a part of Europe in term of air ticket) fare, Air France does not charge fuel surcharge on intra-European flights.

The fares are actually to almost anywhere in Europe and North Africa, this brings more cities and airlines into the play.

You can also do different months as well, start in the fall, finish in Spring.

Can you book this only with ST marketed flights or AY and A3 codes too?

How long do you think this will stay bookable?

You will get AF fuel surcharge if you route via FRU, for example.

Yes, but Irkutsk is not a destination. It's a transit point (and for stopover).

Yes, I know. But not Moscow-Irkutsk.

The transit points are different too for different destinations. The rules also. For example SVG-MOW does not allow SU operated flights (as its too expensive for AF given the fare level). But you can get SU metal on other fares

If you price this fare as Stavanger-Irkutsk R/T instead of Stavanger-Istanbul R/T, it will be different price.

History should have taught us that no matter how many times you repeat this mantra, there will be people who do it anyways

IKT is not in Europe I meant, ATH, GVA, TUN, almost anything. All these fares allow side trips to almost anywhere in Europe and Russia (except Far East unfortunately) with some peculiarities on cities and airlines permitted.
