Having difficulty getting it price out given its a mixed class booking
UL SriLankan Airlines do not have F
QF do not have F to CNS
Airlines/aircraft/routes with F is decreasing

Bloody madman, who in the right mind will CALL THE AIRLINE when there is a potential of a mistake fare. Hideous!

Some of the sketchier OTAs are still pricing in F, more reputable OTAs are showing J or not at all.
A trusted travel agent is probably your best bet here. Maybe you can reach out to NYC Flyer who is a TA and hangs out this forum.

Your ad hominem attack feels unnecessary. You don't want to call an airline, fine. Others may want to do so so for example they don't have a flight cancelled mid trip, have money disappear from their credit cards for months or so on. The FT mantra of never calling an airline feels patronising to me; each to their own.

Your argument makes no sense. you can always inquire your bank about credit card issues and if you got canceled a mistake fare it means the airline is not honoring it, still, it does not justify calling the airline to ruin it for everyone else. This is not a mantra, it's about helping each other and be considerate by not ruining everyone else's travels for the benefit of yourself. If you have issues booking it, FT is here for your help and that is what these forums are for.

I am not sure why anybody want to call airline after enough information laid out with links on forum, one thing is sure, if somebody call airline, chances are the error fares will be caught much sooner than later and not only the person who called not going to get ticketed but will spoil the chances for others
And not blaming others who post bug red word to prevent that happening, but in no sense it sounded offended, it was advice to all ft users
that mantra allowed many users to get CX and air New Zealand mistake fare
As others mentioned, you can always check credit card statements and dispute the charges, that is just slight drawback of sweet mistake fares

actually this is not a good fare at all ex CMB.

The only way u can get F Class is the SIN-SYD/MEL leg. thats all.

Given I can get I Class return at cheaper than that cost, it is prob best.

Just call the airline and ask them to remove the fare to avoid confusion

I used ITA and it says routings through middle east with double the price.
If you are looking for CMB-SIN, there is another thread.
CMB-DXB-SIN in EK F U$ 1449

As to Londonexpert- I agree not the best of fares but great if you need to get to OZ (either BNE or MEL or CNS)

As to Harbourgent- respect the rules, don't do anything to potentially ruin for others. If you do not like it then don't read these "promotional fares."
