Current Ex-EU Long Haul Oneworld Business Class Deals
 
All the fares are in the Wiki above!

I apologise since this is a different format, please do close if it's not allowed but I am finding many deals, some of which weren't on the forum, and in this case, checking each fare individually against what already exists and posting different threads for each would take significantly more time than finding which good premium fares are current. I will do my best to keep this first post updated.

I am doing this since I've got my loyalty with OneWorld and am generally keen to depart anywhere in Europe, and I hope this proves to be useful for people with similar interests. I am doing my best to mentally filter what is a unusually good fare given the destination at hand, for example, going to Japan or flying on Cathay is usually more expensive, but please do provide feedback when you can.

If anything is of interest, you should be able to find the fare in Google Flights in order to get a better idea of dates and connections. If this thread proves of interest, I can also spend the time to write more detailed descriptions for those.

By the way, the AY cheap business class (I) fares are usually 200€ cheaper if ex-BUD or ex-TLL, ex-PRG is usually 100€ cheaper than the rest.
Also, you can usually force an extra layover (up to 24h) in, say Fukuoka and fly JAL 777 FUK-TYO. (Note, no A350 in HEL-FUK for the moment)

Good thinking, some of those weren't in the list of origins I checked. Will have some more time to go through this when I get home this evening. I did check PRG however.

I wonder if it'd be useful as a post with a Wiki that could be maintained, including date ranges for various deals etc?

RollAnotherFatOne Feb 7, 2019 6:49 am

It may or may not be of interest but on the BA forum they have a premium deals section which shows best offers on BA and one world partners. Please don't take this as a criticism or smart comment - I'm not saying content there is better or the same.

That would make sense. I figured a wiki with links to posts that have more details could make it a nice index but also allow for details to be added.

Makes sense, I'm sure they would be interested but I thought that other OneWorld members would also be intrested. Anyone is free to share it there, otherwise I will make it a post when I get the chance.

Agree would be great as a wiki. Not sure how manageable a post would become once a few posters start commenting on different routes.

Not finding AMS-BKK as per your post?

I think it is a great idea as I am generally interested in any Oneworld deals ex-EU. Thanks!

zip10001 Feb 7, 2019 8:37 am

May I suggest to convert the fares to for ex-EU flights?

dsf Feb 7, 2019 8:47 am

I kinda like the idea but I think it undervalues the utility of subject lines. Subjects allow a very simple and uncrowded way to filter out deals folk are not interested in, whereas repeatedly consulting a long wiki, opening post, or frequently updated thread for new/changed deals feels like it will take more mental energy and time — there's no way for an individual to know, when it goes bold and jumps to the top, whether it's of interest to them without clicking through. If it becomes the primary place for OW deals I fear it'll become harder to keep up, not easier.

Is this possible with KIX either as the stopover point or destination?

QR ARN to SIN £1400

mosfet Feb 7, 2019 9:38 am

Thumbs up from me!

If possible could be useful to put the fare code next to routes?

Thanks for this!
