you can also look at the cheaper BA fares across europe:

lon-mad-bcn

lux-lhr

charging this to QRPC may be an easy way to top up some qpoints for maintaining status

Thank you all for the suggestions so far. Thanks for the welcome Phil the Flyer.
It is surprising that Business class flights from Nordic capitals to South East Asia are very often cheaper than routes starting from Central European cities such as Warsaw, Belgrade, Kiev or Sofia.
I initially assumed that flights originating from wealthy capitals would always be more expensive than the ones starting from the central European cities mentioned above (due to lower average monthly salaries for citizens.).

Anyways, I and many others I guess would be very happy to have a rough idea of which routes to look first when trying to benefit from the 2x or 3xQpoints promo offers in Premium cabin.

TUN is usually a pretty good starting point, here's TUN-KUL return in C for €1356.

Hi Fromager,

Welcome to Flyertalk, and specifically the QR Forum.

One of the threads you will find in the QR Forum Dashboard, is the Sales Discussion Thread. The thread is full of useful tips, and will give you an indication of where the best fares usually come from.

To that end, I have moved your thread into the Sales Thread.

Safe travels,

M

TUN-PEN last year it was as low as 780€, would love to see a similar price again. For 1233€ IMHO is not worth to position to TUN.

It depends from how much does it cost elsewhere, if someone is interested in Malaysia. I probably would be happy to position for 1233€ if departing ex- EU the cheapest price was 2K

This question was recently discussed in the AY+ forum. In the Nordics there are not that much people who would find flying J worth the money. The Nordic mentality is that everyone is equal and showing one's status is frowned upon. I've been on the same flight with the wealthiest man in Finland and we were both in Y. Also even though the average salaries are quite high, the high average comes from everyone having a relatively good salary - and there are not much people who earn so much that they would be willing to pay for flying in J. Because of the harsh weather there's high demand for seats in Y (and charter flights to warm destinations), but because of the reasons mentioned earlier the relative demand for J is lower than in many other countries.

MXP-DPS is currently €2009 R/T in R. Not great but €1,500 lower than ex-MUC (and a few others I checked), so I grabbed it for Nov/Dec flights (positioning is cheap). Even a few € cheaper than CGK, which is unusual. SIN and KUL are more expensive as well.

Just stumbled upon this on Matrix, no idea for how long this will be available or when it started. The "good" i.e. short connections had low available seat count for MXP-DOH at this price.

I would have flown MXP to DPS on Oman for EUR 1492, tired of waiting around for QR or oneworld partners to offer some decent fares

New membership year has started, need the BAEC TPs.

I found (wide availability in Oct-Nov):
KBP-SIN for around €1,600
SOF- SIN for €1,700

First leg with an A320 is not a big deal if trying to benefit from the 3X & 2X Qpoints offer.

fgw_

this 3x & 2x qpoints offer is still valid? could u provide a screenshot please or a link or a promocode? either i missed it or its not available for me? planning to fly exactly to sin in nov myself

For what it's worth, I received a target promo "We noticed it's been a while since we have has the pleasure to welcoming you on board our Premium Class" (no kidding !!!) Earn triple Qmiles and Qpoints when you book premium classes from Oct 2 until Oct 15 for flights until Jan 31 2019"

Maluku_Flyer

It's gone now. Price went up by €1,000 to €2,997.

Cannot see the Oman deal on the Matrix either.
