The elusive Z fare BKK-CPH
It's almost impossible to find availability on BKK-CPH in Z class on SK. I'm looking for a trip ARN-CPH-BKK-SIN in Z and I have no problems finding availability on the other segments - it's just the Bangkok flight that's booked solid.
Any suggestions?

- Destination - You might see totally different availability BKK-CPH-OSL than BKK-CPH-ARN.
- Point of sale - Last time I booked BKK-CPH availability was much greater when booking using a Norwegian point of sale than other countries.
SK utilises these two factors a lot but of course neither may make a difference on your selected flight. You can also call a good TA and ask them to waitlist you in the desired full class.

In which time frame do you look for this? As mentioned above different POS will have different availability so try searching using different sites. It may help.

Its no problem to find Z fare to BKK from Scandinavia. But I don't think SAS have opened it up to continuing on Z fare with TG.
I use it on my way to MNL and i find it always much cheaper to buy separate biz ticket for the BKK-MNL-BKK leg. I save 6 000 NOK on that!!

Do a 30 search for one-way travel on ITA and input as follows;
BKK:: SK+ f/ BC=z
CPH
the + will pick up any possible ARN connections
hope it works,

Also, when trying to check open seats, SK972 won't even show up on seatcounter.
Maybe they haven't loaded the fares for the summer yet?

Maybe it is a demand from TG/SQ (or others) that SK can not sell their Z fare with ongoing connection from BKK as the ticket would be cheaper then the prices it would have cost to fly TG or SQ all the way?
Especially I would think that would apply to SQ as their Biz prices are very much higher then SK/TG.
As an example, I checked prices on SQ from Norway to BKk, and it was double of the SK price (32k NOK - SK 16k NOK), and I also made a comparison between TG and SQ for the SIN-BKK-SIN route and SQ in biz was almost double the price of TG biz. So I am still wondering what kind of world SQ is living in.
