AF: UK-Shanghai < 200 GBP return (missing YQ; now fixed)

Hi, just found some extremely cheap fares on www.airfrance.co.uk for BHX or other UK cities to Shanghai (PVG) for only 198 GBP return for many dates in Sept and onwards, with all taxes included (the fare was only around than 100 GBP excluding tax!). Much cheaper some of the European routes...

Just tried for various dates but only found 350 +
Could you please post an example with dates?

There was an issue with Air France last night dumping it's Fuel Surcharge on a bunch of destinations (i.e. I noticed AF codeshare to NYC on DL fro £208 inc), sounds like it was possibly doing it for a few destinations (but I didn't check beyond NYC).

Unfortunately I can't recreate today, so it looks like it's been fixed, which is annoying as I need to book SIN.

Did you really JUST find this or is this related to the AF glitch yesterday (whereby they were not charging the fuel surcharge)?
