I’m getting some funny pricing on BKK-USA-vv flights for early next year. “Business Promo” fares are showing, but they’re actually higher by a few baht than Business Saver, Business Value, and *even* Business Flexi.

What gives? Anyone seen this?

When using the mobile website (and use an actual mobile device) it does offer the (10%?) discounted fares, compared with Google flights. No promo-code required.
Still not too attractive unless from ARN or HEL but personally I’m done with positioning flights and extra overnight stays in the Nordics due to early departures or late inbound arrivals.
Would be really nice to see those 1350-something fares to BKK again and from more EU-cities.

Yesterday, when checking the new promotions, I did see a lower Business saver fare than the Business promo and on that occasion there was only one Business saver seat available and still 4 Business promo seats. Perhaps that’s why.

I’ve never had any issues finding convenient Nordic QR flight departures and arrivals, the positioning flights don’t bother me either as they generally fulfil two of the required four flights for BAEC, and overnight stays outbound or inbound are a good opportunity to visit cities I might not otherwise visit.

However over and above all those factors is the Nordic winter weather. When Mrs PtF and I passed through HEL in late February this year the temperature was -17C (real feel -27C)!!!! Lesson learned - no more QR ex-EU flights from Nordic countries during the winter months if they involve hotel stopovers - same day onward journeys that don’t require you to leave the warmth and comfort of the terminal are still probably OK.
