Cx pe osl-hkg us$1027
SO, I needed to get back to BKK on my RTW trip this month and found that CX has a PE fare that doesn't show up on GF, $1027 RT OSL-LHR-HKG, usually midweek. Book on CX's website. GF shows SK for $1053 if you want to do *A. I only needed a one way so that was US$624, still a decent deal The OSL-LHR is on BA of course in coach (M fare.) and CX in E. So the math each way for AA EXP is:
EQM's: 9368; EQD's: 1274 (a respectable 2x
and RDM's: 14014
In case you were wondering, my RTW, with an LAX side trip fron OSL, is as follows:
4/17 BKK-HKG TG coach US$128.55;
4/17 HKG-JFK CX PE (return segment of a Black Friday special PE RT) at $592 each way;
4/17 JFK-LHR-OSL AA coach immediately UPG'd JFK-LHR with SWU US$365, RT total after a ticket exchange, but will probably miss out on the return OSL-HEL-JFK as AY was the cheapest return;
4/18 OSL-LHR-LAX-LHR-OSL BA PE US$688;
4/24 OSL-LHR-HKG CX PE US$624;
4/25 HKG-BKK CX business class award from AA;
Total approx US$2398. 5 tickets with only one tight (2hr at JFK) connection. 3 days in LA and an overnight at LHR and OSL.
The math for AA EXP: EQM's: 42,795; EQD's: 5420 (2.26x as the AA/BA segments bring it down and RDM's: 59,592.
NOTE: CX PE one way OSL-LHR-HKG-BKK is US$823, but US$2148 RT. Go figure.

That's a nice-looking RTW, for sure. ^^
However, I could not re-create the OSL-HKG routing in July. Using CX's site, it comes to roughly 13K NOK, or about 1650 USD.

There are a few dates in July and August that are as low as NOK9558 (apx US$1220,) then the US$1027 fare shows again in September.
