Any of you more experienced hands know whether there are any QR sale sweet spots in the Far East for flights to Europe - am based in HKG but happy to position to anywhere nearby.

Current ex-HKG prices are all around £2000 pp, but looking for prices more in line wth the ex-EU prices...

I saw earlier that the Mainland seems to have some reasonable offers in place, particularly ex second or third tier cities like Chengdu or Chongqing.

Try ICN... ICN-DUB is $1926... About $100 cheaper with companion. This is USD, so a bit less in Euro.

Try Clark (CRK). I am seeing fares for as low as US$1890.

This isn’t a very good sale. Most prices ex-US are fairly routine on many of the routes. All economy fares, except to Kathmandu which seem8ngly has no availability. I’m surprised as the last couple sales were great with virtually no blackout dates for J. What a let down!

Looking at flights to Jo’burg and they are working out at nearly £500-£800 more on this sale compared to last year.

Hopefully more enticing fares are on the way.

CKG-FCO cir GBP£1200
CTU-FRA,PRG cir GBP1300

See, this is clear proof that President Berset was colluding with the Russians.

Oh, wait...

:D :D

I'm very sad... These fares are making a tier point run to Honolulu look cheap! :D

and other restrictions in previous sales. I'm looking for 3 tickets to down under. This time it's the black out window. Last time it was that the companion offer was restricted to 2, 4, 6, 8, .... passengers. I'm sitting here wanting to spend money and QR wants none of it. What a pity.
