A collaborative collection and discussion of nice Avios-earning and TP-earning J & F premium fare deals. This thread is not for TP runs or published sales.
Some links to relevant threads can be found below.

Enjoy your Premium Experience.

)

Of course. I was looking in Euros.

Thanks for correcting me.

Myself, I am waiting for another sale. We got very spoiled lately.

Finally a thousand pounder again.

DUB-PEK on AY for GBP 1009.

I think it needs to be booked before the 15th.

Do you mind if I remove some of the expired sales to Asia?

For example the Ex-GER to HKG fares on BA is no longer.

You will be hard pressed to find anything close to what you paid, I think.

Thanks. I had a root around and couldn't come up with anything viable. I'm in no rush so will wait to see what comes up.

Of course not! Please do. It is a community WIKI after all. I hope everyone contributes by adding / removing fares!

Thank in advance. ^

I'm looking for exactly this. Give me a shout if you find anything in the 1800 range and I'll do likewise. 2200 is a bit steep for me.

Taxes and surcharges are not included in that price, so they bump it up another GBP200 or so.

Still not bad though.

Thank you very much for this henkybaby. This is definitely a great deal (imo) at 12,500rmb HKG - LHR (September)

Was just about to waste my remaining avios on BA but thanks to this can put them to real use some CX regional trips ^^^^

I narrowed the issue down. The DUB-DFW and JFK-DUB legs are indeed about 1250 (this is for travel in August) but the price hike seems to be from the the AA legs from DFW to LAX and LAS to JFK which are now priced at 650 quid collectively.

So total I'm around 1900, not as great as 1500 and I'll have to abandon plans to go on the 777 AA service from LHR and instead use the 330 from DUB to PHL.

I found GBP 2080 via HKG...

Via SIN (BA all the way) is GBP 2200. Haven't tried a stopover there yet. Here is one with a stopover at GBP 2290.
