For what routing on which dates?

The original fare basis has been pulled. New, higher fares in effect from Sep 5.
Try from AMS or MAD - the original fare basis still exists, but P inventory much more limited.

The fare was pulled in last few days, the new base fare CDG-AKL IS 4000USD + TAXES...

Still works from MXP

So I found this on GFS MXP-SYD via SIN R/T Business Euro 2,300 and it has the option to book with Swiss Air. I click the link, the flight changes a bit....instead of going via SIN, it goes via ICN. The SQ flight is on a different price.
GFS link: https://www.google.com/travel/flight...gRpD1smaM7HPq5

Then I click book with Booking.com. You get the same itinerary but the price is like more than 2 times of GFS.
Then I tried constructing the itinerary in momondo, can't find it for that price. Its hard..very hard.
Even using ITA Matrix its hard to find the flight itinerary. It's like every search site you use, you get a different route and price.

Any tips and advice? Actually I want to create a round a trip fare for EUR 2,500 with stopovers. I read the fare rules I think it only costs EUR75 per stopover, something reasonable, and prefer better airlines/better planes/better seats.... Idk about taking LH 747 even business class. Like that A380 SQ from SYD to SIN is good. Not too sure of ASIANA's business class, no lie flat bed. No domestic or short haul flights. No low cost carrier/budget flights. No HKG. Just long haul full service business class flights.

That's a great fare. Wish I could find something like this on Christmas week.

Anyone able to still see fares for ~3000 EUR? I can't get the total to drop below 6k USD with multi-stop no matter what I do.

If I remove multi-stop, and select RT like in the screenshot above, I see them for ~3000 EUR with layovers in SIN/NRT. Can anyone show me a link on how I can make those stopovers for 75 EUR each?

It is still out there ex-MXP and ex-AMS. Here's an example from MXP that is a RTW for around $3,400. You can start by playing with dates on ITA Matrix and plug in the segments on Google Flights, IME.

MXP to AKL with stops in JFK and NRT (Swiss and Air New Zealand)

But how to actually get these ticketed is the question.

nickohrn

You can generally just click through to the OTA or, in the case of one that can be ticketed by UA, to the UA website. Example itinerary.



UA purchase confirmation.

Is there any recommendation for a ticketing agent? Found all the inventories but cannot replicate on United, so don't want to bother anymore...

wijibintheair

The OTA on the example given by jfkeze above when you click through says no seats available, the price shown when sold by United jumps $3k (so while some might be available on UA, when not flying any UA sectors it doesn't seem possible - and I have searched!) and others have said on here that getting anyone at Swiss to ticket this is pretty much a no go.

If there was a TA on FT that could issue these I am sure s/he would be in demand!

I clicked through the same link to United.com and went all the way to payment, it seems bookable with the same price shown on GF. You could not choose seats on partner flights during booking, but I think you could choose your seats later on when you have the PNR with their partner airlines.
