CX premium econ: DEL-HKG-JFK $1354
 

CX premium econ: DEL-JFK $1354

Good deal for Premium Econ E class. Found on Kayak.co.in; works on cathaypacific.com. Priced in Rupees: 84,450 rupees.

Sample dates: 14 Feb-2 March. Lots of availability.

Edit to note this is roundtrip.

Wow, that's about 4.3 cents per EQP.

$937 CAD roundtrip for premium economy YVR - CAN on China southern.

Saw dates in April and May available, didn't look much more into it.

Not in reverse though... its double in $USD JFK-DEL... sadly.

They never are.

Booked an open jaw on CX (E), JFK-HKG-PEK/PVG-HKG-JFK FOR $1985 a/i, for a reference point. Dates in May.

DL LAS-LAX-FCO $1827 RT 20,562 MQM Books Y domestic and W intl (premium economy). Example dates Oct 16/Oct 21. Can also do via JFK.

My first post here, sorry if I left something out or if it has been posted before. Other cities work as well.

VS or BA: BOS-JNB via LHR ~$1900 AI RT, SFO/LAX/NYC-JNB ~$2050 AI RT, CPT available for about $100-150 more RT

Might be other cities available. Can fly A380 on BA to/from JNB, though may require long layovers in LHR to do so on the outbound. Timing for A380 works much better on return. Books into T for BA, K for VS. Dates in March for both, perhaps more through April. Might be more beyond but I will leave it up to you to find ;). I think you can upgrade for a decent price with Avios on BA? I could be wrong.

I bought 2 tickets PHX-LAX-CDG-PRG-CDG-LAX-PHX with the LAX-CDG-LAX booked in W on AF through Delta.com for $1631 for April travel.

I just checked it and they still have it available for $1,880. Not a bad way to get 50% bonus MQMs.

This thread really doesn't get much attention...

Turkish Airlines
CPT or JNB-IST-HKG: 864 euros with IST-HKG in Y+
VKO-IST-HKG: 464 euros with IST-HKG in Y+

YYZ-CDG-HKG return a/i AF Premium Voyageur from $1661 USD
 

YYZ-CDG-HKG-CDG-YYZ in AF Premium Voyageur class (booking class A)
starting from $1661 USD. If doing true MR w/ no nights in HKG, price goes up slightly to $1685 due to weekend rates.

19442 base miles, so with pre-SkyMiles2015 earnings (+25% RDM/+50% MQM), this will earn 24304 RDM / 29164 MQM for as low as 5.7 cents per MQM (6.8 cents per RDM).
Note that DL has not published new AF earnings rates yet for post-1JAN2015.

Sample MR dates, bookable for USD $1685 on airfrance.us:

Funnily, with these dates you'd spend more time in Paris each way than in your "destination" Hong Kong.
Not as torturous as some of the economy MRs out there.

Nice fare, too bad cross border flights are so expensive to position :(

But if I'm going to spend that kind of time in an aluminum tube, I'm going to spend some time in one of my favorite places in the word ;)

BA: HEL-India €697 & up in T-class (premium economy)
 

Thought this was a pretty nice price for premium economy to India, other countries might be available.

Example prices all-in: HEL-BOM €694, HEL-DEL €712, HEL-BLR €734

Fare basis TNCSALE, min stay sun, must be issued latest June 30th, travel anytime after August 19th, non-refundable, changes €150.

BA: HEL-India €697 & up in T-class (premium economy)
 

Too much lucre for a mileage run, but a useful fare for upgrading from WT+ to CW by spending a few Avios, subject to availability.

TK : OSL-EZE 8900 NOK/APR 1050 EURO.OSL-IST in Y.

Air France - YYZ - DEL - Economy Premium $1550 all in

No, 10CPM is not a good deal.

This is a good deal to India: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/milea...-mid-week.html

Well, this is premium economy, so let's not dismiss it out of hand...

You couldn't pay me $1550 to fly ScareFrance.

Closer to 6.7, actually. Still not a MR, though.

YYZ-CDG-BOM-CDG-YYZ is 16,204 (per GCMap). Cost of the ticket is $1,550CAD. That's 9.5CPM in CAD by my math. 8.9CPM in USD.

Really? how mad is Air France compare to U.S airlines?

Never flew international before? cant really say the difference between economy or premium, if there is any difference?

Big difference. Take a look at AF web site.

More pitch, different wider seat, downside being fixed-shell seat, i.e. as I see it, does NOT recline :td:

You forgot to calculate the 1.5x mileage factor due to the fact it's Premium Economy.

That depends on the program. Skymiles yes, FB or Alaska no

How can I find this fare? kind of new...lots of abbreviations here...hope to catch up soon.

You can find many of the abbreviations in the HELP menu in the Glossary.

I bought a One-Way ticket from TK, couple of minutes ago.

VKO-IST-HKG for $510 (380 EUR) Y+O combined fare (1361 + 7944 = 9305 miles 5.48cpm) for Jul, 31st.

As a TP run these don't yield a particularly good £/TP ratio - around £3.20/TP, there's much better earning ratios posted in the BA Tier Point thread

Where are you seeing this? Looked up a few dates in Sept/Oct time frame for the MAD-SIN return, not seeing anywhere near the price you quoted. Am only seeing that price for O/W. The best price I could get was in Nov where a return came up to approx 1250 Euros.

For me I need one MR to requal for EXP, so with PE on BA, this will be quite a comfortable MR.

Cheers!
