I tried several sites and it doesn't seem to be available in January. Unfortunate!

Indeed ExpertFlyer does not show any flights for January (in contrast to ITA Matrix), while this month for instance looks good.

However, ExpertFlyer shows S class as "coach"!

I would think that by next year if not sooner this "error fare," would have been discovered by the relative carrier(s) and therefore not only cancelled but very possibly anyone who turns up hoping to have J class seat will be "downgraded" to Y class seat. However it is so cheap (even if flown in Y), that IMO its worth taking a gamble to be able to fly in J.The sooner one flies, the better the possibility.

Someone else confirmed that it books in "C"
Is it not the case? Anyone else book this?

I flew this to AUH with 55kg luggage (40+EY Gold) and 19hrs layover. TWOV, no problem, just make sure you show the agent an onward ticket to another country. A bit of issue with the luggage (not annotated on the ticket), but a few calls later it was fine. Agent told me a few other flyers had the same problem before me on the same route, just a few days ago

You can't book past Oct 29, its when codeshare ends.

PS: expedia.com - free cancel 24hrs if you need onward ticket. Mine was back to Dubai via FlyDubai, 5 hours after my "arrival" in KHI. I got it cancelled in the lounge (Swissport).

Very helpful, thank you!

Many thanks for the info. I had already booked a refundable onward flight about 5 hours after arrival in KHI. I'm thinking I may even use it, not decided yet.

He might have been in a spot of bother if he arrived at KHI visaless and ticketless

Just came back from KHI - can really recommend anyone to stay here for a weekend or so if you have the chance to. It is completely untouched by tourism plus Karachiites are some of the nicest people around and they sure know how to have fun

Despite 19h in AUH I was asked for a visa at check-in (there was E-Checkin though they would've probably checked at the gate..) but as mlqsko mentioned with an onward ticket that wouldn't have been a problem. Etihad uses the Swissport Lounge in ATH wich is okay but a little crowded with DL departing around the same time. AUH T3 was a pleasent experience in the afternoon with pretty much no one around - took me less than ten minutes from the taxi to the (okay) lounge.
Btw TK only charges 27,5k miles in business (although high taxes) from KHI to EU1 if anyone can use that..
AHO, danam, mrhn15 and 2 others like this.

I assumed these flights would be useless for earning miles. As far as I understand, it's only possible to credit to PK. Has anybody found anything different?
