Ah, thanks I hadn't delved into the fine print.
It's a shame, and a bit surprising that this travel festival excludes such a long period in summer: still I'm sure there'll be another one long in a month or so ....

Does anyone have experience on booking return / multi stop flights where only one leg is in the sale window - wondered if overall price likely to see a saving or not? (I'm looking to book flights leaving UK / nearby Europe in early June pre blackout with two subsequent flights in the blackout period, just wondering if the sale might still be of use in part - albeit recognise completely dependent on sale prices being available on routes I want). Thanks in advance!

EK always list 'sale' prices ex-TPE which I can never seem to price out. I saw the 55k link, but couldnt find one date combo that worked (I tried 6 throughout the year, in accordance with T&C). Lowest was 95k. If you can find dates, please let me know so I can take a look!

Another news release - seemed to jump the gun a little but appears will be up to 40% discount in all cabins. Companion special will be available.
Not sure how reliable the Gulf Times is but I think it’s safe to say a sale is on the way.

Same. I checked the fares for a couple of destinations and meh, I left the website. x2 miles is also not very attractive considering the rates offered.
