Cheapest F Fare?

I was wondering what is the cheapest First Class fare that you can purchase.

KUL-SIN-KUL at $166 seemed to be quite cheap.

Any others.

Cheers,

Justin

Anywhere within Thailand on TG.

For a real long distance bargain business class fare, try BKK-MEX on NW. Costs around $900 one-way.

The cheapest full fare F flight I have ever taken was BWI-PHL-MBJ (Montego Bay, Jamaica) roundtrip for $700.

BA used to have a very affordable transTasmin flight from Christchurch to Perth. In First it was well under A$1000.

British Airways has a very cheap First Class fare originating in Frankfurt to New York for only about USD 4000.

It is a 6 month maximum stay ticket, and booked in "A" class. I believe the fare basis is: AEE6M and it must be paid for and ticketed in Germany.

"Differential fare construction" is not allowed on this fare, so this means you can't pay a "differential" to upgrade to concorde.

Within Thailand only Business Class is offered according to Expedia.

I haven't been able to find a lower return F fare than USD 166 from KUL-SIN (SQ & MH - it's the most boring route in the world; farewise.)

SIN-KUL Y return is 166 USD, but KUL-SIN F is 166 USD. If you book two one ways, you can have Y and F on the same ticket for the same price as a return Y class ticket from SIN.

This route is about the only route where tickets purchased at the airport are the cheapest. APEX doesn't exist on this route, full Y or full F - mind you, you don't really get much apart from transport and FF points.

Cheers,

Justin

One way fares from Spain and Italy to anywhere in the US are (relatively)cheap. Last I checked, Pisa to LAX was $2500.
