How to find out cheapest destination in F?

Hi there,

How do one find the cheapest route for trying out an F product.

For instance, I am ex-IKA and I found Emirates first for 1700USD r/t to CMB. It's not a very long flight, but it's on the 777.

Is there a way to find those cheap routes without having to try the out one by one?

Is CMB always a cheap destination for F and C?

You've got things a bit backwards.

Would you kindly elaborate?

It's ex-CMB that they are the cheapest? Because it is not true at all in the case of IKA-CMB-IKA.

CMB as destination ex-ika is $1700r/t but IKA ex-CMB is $1900 r/t on Emirates First.

With Google flights you can put in an origin city and the dates of travel and it will show on a map every city you can fly to.

To experience longhaul F on the cheap you probably cannot do much better than:

i) BAH-DOH-BAH, GBP 394.00, 50m out, 44m back
ii) AUH-MCT-AUH, GBP 406.90, 1h 5m out, 1h 4m back.

(Source: expedia.co.uk)

However these will not give you much of a true F experience since catering and service will be minimal.

EK F is $690 BKK to HKG

Full catering, amenity kit, and a shower onboard.

Some short routes (like HKG-TPE) can be had for 13500 Avios points in F

With a flight time more like 20 minutes out, 25 minutes in.
