One can fly from C2 to C6 for £596 ai
Not the cheapest flights in the world, but one does sometimes pay a little extra if they would like a bed to sleep in while en-route.

And from C2-C6 you definitely want to be horizontal! :)

There is a lot that can be constructed from there, usually able to shave 50% off an AI ticket with the right city pairs.

Sorry, I thought it was expected to be cryptic... my bad. Please check your Inbox for the routing.

Simply saying you can't get the price lower means nothing without more explanation. I'm not saying spell out whatever 1x, 3x or other method you've used but at least show you understand 'how' this is meant to work and how you've applied yourself.

Generally speaking, the masses are more likely to help someone who's shown they're trying to help themselves first!

Fair call. I have done multiple 3X within C1, C2 and C3. YQ component of the original fare does not change even by $0.01. I have tried 3X on other airlines and have managed to reduce their YQ a bit, but as their BF is much higher to start with, total fare on those tickets ends up still higher than the fare.

Thanks for the (possible) offer. I am not interested in any particular airline. I do have status with QF and VA, so their partners are preferred but not necessary. EK is actually pretty good as I'll get access their lounge with my QF status.

Thanks again.

Thank you - makes sense, except Singapore would seem an awfully location to have such work done.

Many airlines have their heavy maintenance done here (just landed at SIN and hanging out at SQ lounge).
Remember Airbus sent most of its planes from India here for heavy maintenance
