Question: does anyone by any chance know whether it's possible to get the Expedia/ebookers flight and hotel combo discount on a multi-destination itinerary? Also, has anyone managed to push down the price for first class or does it only work for business?

thanks so much for any help! Highly appreciated!

And the beat goes on... Although the MEL/SYD/AKL fare has expired, MH have loaded another sale fare LHR-PER/ADL at GBP1700 until end of Feb (there may also be other options).

If staying less than a month on a simple return, you can include a hotel for one night on ebookers to bring the price down to GBP1500.

Note the flights aren't as good as SYD/MEL, for example ADL is only 4 days per week and the return has a 9 hour layover, although stops and side trips are allowed. But I need a >2 month stay so the base fare is good for me.

Also LHR-KUL in F, KUL-PER/ADL in J is GBP2700.

Thanks to henkybaby and Ausriver for highlighting the original sale (http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/premi...-1999-gbp.html).

Does anyone know how long this fare will be alive / what is the last day to book?

I can't seem to find the fare rules stating this.

Thanks!

If you go to MalaysiaAirlines.com and select the flights, on the 'Itinerary Summary' page there is a link to the top left of the flights to 'view fare rules'. In the case of LON-ADL ZBT23GB Section 16 " ** reservations must be made and tickets issued on/before ** 28feb 17"

I suspect that by adding a hotel+flight at ebookers (and saving GBP200) the change/cancellation fees change to those set by the OTA and I have no idea where those are hidden!

Hard to say. The fare rules are only part of the issue as the deal that reduces the fare is related to eBookers and their advertised sale that this was part of ended some time ago.

Usual rules therefore apply, book as soon as possible if you want to make use of this as it's not unusual for popular fares to be withdrawn early.
