- Fare feels too good to be true? Don't call the airline!
- Double-check that the fare is actually in Business or First as some online search engines or OTAs confuse booking classes on some airlines.
- Post as much detail as possible about the First/Business fare, including: fare class, fare basis, one-way/round-trip, sales channel, sample dates and total price (including taxes).
- When posting fare rules, please enclose them in a [COÐE][/COÐE] block. Note the use of the eth (Ð) instead of a capital D here to prevent the forum software from trying to insert an actual block. Be sure you use the capital D.
- Refrain from posting fare requests or engaging in off topic debates such as fare trends, specific aircraft configuration or visa requirements
- The deeply discounted international fares discussed here are almost always specific to a certain point of origin, and only very rarely work in reverse (e.g. a SFO-LHR-SFO fare usually won't work LHR-SFO-LHR). Domestic fares more commonly work in reverse.
- Please include important information such as operating airline, fare classes, city pairs, etc. in the body of your post rather than the post title field as it is not visible to those reading FT on mobile devices. This is not the "trick it" thread. Please do not speak in code.
- Please do not post large images. Not everyone has infinite resolution, and it makes the rest of the thread very difficult to read. If it's not important enough to type in, it's not important enough to be here.
- Last but not least: don't call the airline!
Note: There is a known miscoding on ITA and elsewhere, where fares on EI (Aer Lingus) are showing as being in first class. This is not correct, as Aer Lingus does not offer first class. If you see this fare, please ignore it and do not post it here as it is completely unbookable in every sense of the term. The mods are summarily deleting these posts in order to unclutter the thread.
Note: There is a known miscoding on ITA and elsewhere, where Z fares on EY (Etihad) are showing as being in first class. This is not correct, as Z fares are discount business on EY. These fares will not receive chaffeur service. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/etihad-airways-etihad-guest/1622229-removal-chauffeur-service-some-business-class-passengers.html
List of known, active deals:
JNB-DXB-SFO in EK F, $4k-ish one-way
MLE-HKG-US (various) in C, $1400 +/- available only on CX's website.
CMB-MIA, other US cities, for about $4400 in F, round-trip/return
BA AARP $400 discount for J/F bookings is now valid again for booking until 31 Oct 2014 but departure to EOS seems to get the discount. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/british-airways-executive-club/1435816-ba-fare-discounts-aarp-4.html

Dont flame me if this is nothing new, but I'm always searching for good J fares out of SIN and this must be one of the worst places on this earth to look for that.
Anyway, today I see fares of ~1500usd with AI flying SIN-FRA-SIN in J on their new 787. on all four segments. Here a sample:
Singapore (SIN) to Frankfurt (FRA) - Fri, Aug 29
Air India Limited Singapore (SIN) to Delhi (DEL) - Fri, Aug 29
Air India Limited 381 Dep: 8:25AM Arr: 11:35AM 5h 40m Boeing 787 Business (J)
Layover in DEL 2h 10m
Air India Limited Delhi (DEL) to Frankfurt (FRA) - Fri, Aug 29
Air India Limited 121 Dep: 1:45PM Arr: 6:40PM 8h 25m Boeing 787 Business (J)
Frankfurt (FRA) to Singapore (SIN) - Wed, Sep 10

Air India Limited 380 Dep: 11:30PM Arr: 7:20AM 5h 20m Boeing 787 Business (J)
Fri, Sep 12
Cost per passenger (including taxes & fees) 1,885.70 x 1 (1 adult) - That's in SGD.
That to me is hardly ever seen! (And I get to credit to TK)

UA: LGA-SEA AI $762 in F. Going through IAH can make for a nice MR. Sample dates are September 4th returning the 11th. Looks like it works in the other direction too.

Qr arn/osl-bkk
These are maybe regular fares, sure I've seen them before, but anyway
QR ARN/OSL-BKK in Business 13700 SEK / 13000 NOK (£1250ish) return
Out 8 Sept, looks like 5 night minimum stay. Works for other dates. Not great for TP run, maybe nest on a run from BKK?

Good fare indeed, especially to Japan. BHX is £975, cheaper by £20 or so as usual.
Shame it's SkyTeam but am sure some will benefit.

Travel Restriction:
From Newark to India
Travel in Première must commence on or before September 15, 2014
From Newark to Brussels
Travel in Première must commence between November 22, 2014 and November 28, 2014
- From India to anywhere 9W flies - much better options (few blackout dates) with one-ways also an option.

Aa phx-DFW-hkg rt ~3500 in J
This fare has been around for a while and I haven't seen any post for it. Phx-hkg for $3500 ai routes through DFW to get the new 77w. stopovers allowed so I priced out a Phx-las-DFW-hkg-DFW-las-Phx for close to the same price. 50 day advance and 7 night stay is the big part of this fare. Mon-Thursday transpacific But can't find anything comparable to Asia in j so wanted to post.
Dl has matched with some interesting routings.
