FRA-DPS: €1,025 (but €1,740 to BKK!)
ARN-SIN: $1,330 (but €2,000 to DPS!)
CPH-HKG: €940, plus about €1,000 to BKK or HKT

I sense your frustration, but Bali is around 3000 km from Bangkok, and of course in a different country, a different market.

Thats a separation considerably greater than between Austin and Montreal.

Finding the advertised sale prices to be few and far between to find, or theoretical price for two is pricing for one. Like TXL-CPT, for example. Anyone else?

That's really decent of you, but I do need to be there 10 days. It's also a high risk proposition for us both, so I'll politely decline. But thanks.

Here is just one example for ARN-SYD. Looks like google flight shows prices up to 4500-6000€ but when clicking it finds the real price. Wide availability.

3045€/2pax.

And one for ARN-AKL.

3087€/2pax.

Question: I have to do two trips next year: Feb and Jun. Does anyone think it would be possible to book this as a companion deal then change the date and passenger for the second ticket? I think there might be charges, but it could still be a great deal. Ideas?
