Flight to LAX
 

Hi Everyone, I need some help in finding a couple of reasonable J fares on a *A flight I can get $ 4300 $US from Denpasar - Tawian- LAX on EVA Air, can anyone put me onto anything else, flying aprox MAY 5 return aprox June 10 next year, Qantas have a special on for Y+from PER- LAX via SYD for $ 3500 but wanting to do J if possible, like I say has to be *A thanks in advance hope someone can help me out .

I think $4300 is a pretty good price for a DPS-LAX RT.

Phillippines airlines have some good prices in J if you can get to KUL, SIN or MNL cheaply.
I presume "*A" means "Star Alliance" .

Have you tried a travel agent?
Or looked in here http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/milea...es-2013-a.html

Forums like this is what people do instead of trying travel agents these days.

So FT is the new low-fare finder/travel agent?

This getting me nowhere is it ?

You may want to wait a couple of months before trying to book this for next year. The return date is too far out for many sites such as itasoftware.com to search on.

Using itasoftware.com based on your outbound and the latest return they will give me. I'm finding on Asiana:

This is presuming the fare is being purchased from DPS in USD.

Yeah, usually max 10 months in advance, 9 for some carriers.
Hey, you've got several pieces of superb advice there!

As a regular Perth visitor who has many friends and colleagues in Perth who travel a lot, I can tell you that the strategy above - get Air Asia X or something cheap to a SE Asian hub - is exactly what they and I do when looking for a long-haul J class fare.

Also, your original post was not very clear - it could be taken to mean you want a fare starting in Denpasar, I interpret it as you starting from PER.

It's worth what you're paying for it. ;)

FT is not a travel agency.

Yes.

And as a sideline it helps people go from zero miles to RTW awards in F next Thursday.
