For me it's a case of to wait or not to wait. Usually by now I would have booked at least three Long haul trips for the year. So far only Easter is booked.
Reminds me of a game of Chicken. |
Just received an email for a promotion stating:
€539 for BRU-DAD or BRU-MBA in business class Offer valid until 14 March. Guess they made a mistake as these are the prices for economy :-( |

Gave up waiting
Couldn't delay any further, so just booked CPH to AKL in J over Xmas. Would have preferred a 2-4-1 of course, but still happy(ish) with £2400 each.

A similar fare:
BUD/PRG - CKG (Chongqing, China) in J @ £1149 wide open until next year. (Min stay: 3 Days; Max: 12 Months) Nothing too exciting, unlike ARN-SIN with QSuites, plus a Chinese visa might be needed if not transiting via CKG. On the bright side, CKG has reasonably good & cheap options for int'l connections with AirAsis, MH, KA, CZ, MU, CA, etc.; so one can travel to elsewhere in CN or Asia easily. An interesting route I found through this fare is that for a price of £1286, you can make stopovers at both HKG and DOH: Outbound: BUD-DOH-HKG(stopover)-CKG Inbound: CKG-HKG-DOH(stopover)-BUD (you do not have to route it via HKG for Inbound I suppose, but it adds a 40 TPs more for BAEC) Maybe people are more knowledgeable with fare rules than me can make a better use of this fare. For me, it just helped me slightly lowered the price for my 2 trips this year ARN-HKG and ARN-BKK; I did not choose the stopover option. How did you use it for QR to BKK for similar price ? simply change CKG for BKK or add another seperate hop ? Ta. |
I was able to come up with this itinerary but not able to book it.. any ideas ?

Or you can go via CAN for the A380 bar :)
GF link: CAN-LHR @ £1523 to LHR // £1490 to LGW, not a great fare, but a good one. You can make stopovers both in and out at DOH, have no idea if you may do it via DOH/HKG. an example for stopovers at DOH: https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...46033da29c.png CAN-LHR stopover at DOH GF link: CKG-LHR @ £1523 GF link: CKG-CDG @ £1370 GF link: HGH-MAD @ £1410 Min Stay is 3 days, Max 1 month. it must be booked before 31 MAR 19. CKG receives so much love from QR, maybe because HU just started flying CKG-LHR recently. I tried to play around these fares and combine other fares like ARN-BKK, BUD/PRG-CKG, to create an open jaw ticket so that I may shed a few quids overall, but all sadly failed. So frustrated as I do not understand context of fare rules (too much a headache when reading through). Maybe someone who are experienced can help us to utilise all these fares in a better way. |

[QUOTE=roy2016;30905498]I tried to figure out how to do it via CAN for PRG/BUD-CKG fare after you mentioned, and failed.
I had no problem finding itinerary going via CAN https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...da9861586b.png one can also do open jaw PRG-DOH-CAN-CKG-HKG-DOH-PRG so you get to enjoy both qsuite and the bar I did not pull the trigger yet, not sure if the visa hassle is worth it https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...b8bfe1dccc.png |
Git this email about a two for one promotion from France.
Then I checked the price. Some EUR3,000 to HKG, Vietnam, even 3,300 to SIN. SO I thought that it was for 2 pax. NO NO, this is per pax. The usual one-stop alternative for me is BA and runs around EUR2,100. |
