TK: YYZ-CGK rt in J for US$2,649
Pretty attractive fares to CGK. KE, WY and PR are also in the same price range. Unfortunately, no love from OW carriers at this point.

I have search template like YVR,YYZ,YUL,YOW to all 17 cities TK serves or plan to in Asia (PEK,PVG,CAN,TPE,ICN,NRT,KIX,HKG,MNL,SGN,HAN,BKK,H KT,KUL,SIN,CGK,DPS).
Anyway, at the moment TK is running sales of YYZ-KUL/CAN/CGK/BKK and YUL-PEK/PVG, book by Oct 23rd. I don't see any travel date restrictions but from April the availability seems to dry up.
During prime months use TK's fare matrix calendar to find the lowest priced dates and go back to OTAs if you want to save money, although not guaranteed. Kayak is also a good resource to find lowest priced OTAs but quite often the savings aren't worth the risk and hassles if things go wrong.

If you live in US, have Elite or Elite Plus status, and have Citi TY Premier Mastercard, this is a very good deal consdering
1. You get at least 32000 status miles, almost enough to renew your Elite Plus for 2 years, good luck trying to renew UA's 1K for this amount of spend (I know we can't compare 1K to TK's E+ apple to apple but still...)
2. Charge Citi TYP, get another 7500 or more points which can transfer to TK at 1:1
3. You'll get 40K bonus miles or more in the end, enough to book one-way saver business award ticket between Europe (including Turkey) and Asia/North America for 45K with mileage overdraft allowed by TK up to 10K miles for Elite members.

I live in Canada and don't have a problem with people quoting in USD as I know the majority of people on here are not as aware of the CAD to USD exchange rate as most Canadians are.
It just makes logical sense to me to quote the fares in the currency of the country from which the flights originate. I am sure the number of potential Canadian customers for this fare is much greater than the number of potential US customers who would be interested in trying to make it work for them. But since the majority of the members on this forum seem to be from the US, I guess majority rules.

Do you think we should publish all of the fares in the native currency of the departure airport? Like the one way fare from AMD to EWR on SQ. Should it be in INR instead of USD? Or the LA GIG/GRU - FRA fare in BRL instead of EUR?
