AF/KL/KE - BUD-SYD - 1131400 HUF / 2882 EUR / $3086 USD r/t - Business
Air France / KLM / Korean Air - Budapest, Hungary (BUD) to Sydney, Australia (SYD) via Amsterdam (AMS) or Paris (CDG) and Seoul (ICN) or Singapore (SIN) - 1131400 HUF / 2882 EUR / $3086 USD roundtrip - Business
This is not a new fare, but it usually has no inventory. At the moment there are quite a few dates that work at the end of 2024 (would be going into summer in Australia) so I thought I'd post it! If you want to stick to flying SkyTeam to Australia and want to avoid flying an airline from mainland China, this is an option. It's a few hundred Euro more expensive, unfortunately, but cheaper than a roundtrip on Air France or KLM much of the rest of the year.
If you search for ticket based on the Fare Basis, you will see a varied pricing because there are actually four versions of Fare Basis - ORS7TBRA
AF Version - Base Fare - 2485.00(USD) / 2305.00(EUR)
AF Version - Base Fare - 2583.00(USD) / 2396.00(EUR)
KL Version - Base Fare - 2583.00(USD) / 2396.00(EUR)
KL Version - Base Fare - 2960.00(USD) / 2746.00(EUR)
Saturday night stay or 6 night stay required. A stopover is permitted at $75. If you connect in Singapore the flight between Singapore and Sydney will be operated by Qantas. If you connect in Seoul the flight to Australia will be operated by Korean Air or Asiana. Qantas and Asiana are not Flying Blue partners, but both flights would have an AF / KL flight number so I'm guessing you'll receive mileage credit for those flights.
The following dates work in November and December at the time of posting -
Google Flights does NOT show every date that works, however it does show the following dates -

This looks amazing for Europe-Australia itineraries.
Have been looking for a long time for special fares and could not funks anything below 4000€….
i am not good in using ITA Matrix, and I also don’t see this for August 2024 in google flights….
although the fare says “staring Nov 2023” if I am not mistaken….
am I missing something or is this only available NOV-DEC 2024?
thanks for posting!

It should work in August, but there aren't any seats in the O fare class (or whatever O maps to on the codeshare flights) in August, so this fare basically doesn't work in August at the moment. Also Google Flights isn't displaying every working date. There are a few working dates at the end of October and I have all the working dates in November and December for a 1-30 day trip in the first spoiler in my post.
The second spoiler lists every date that does display in Google Flights (again, not every date available)
The third spoiler gives a few example Momondo links (non-affiliate). The FR and IE version seem to yield more / better results than .com or .co.uk.
EDIT
I guess I should clarify that there is no inventory on the return in August. If you want a really long trip you can depart in August, but can't return until October.

I don't have the time to try now, but if anybody does want to try, I searched ExpertFlyer segment by segment to see what dates have at least 1 seat available in "O". (Month / Date List)

They did make some pretty detrimental changes! People flying on cheap partner fares sure are going to have a hard time reaching any status earning 5% MQD's too!
