BA J Sale PER-BKK with many options

[v8Statesman]

BA have a Business class sale on $2,800 +++ (About $500 to be expected) that can route

QF PER-SYD (Get the A330 Business Suites!)
BA SYD-SIN
JL SIN-TYO-BKK (Yes, not a typo!) (Try a Dreamliner or better yet the old 767 with similar suites to QF A330)

and same in reverse.

Amazing value!

Sounds like a great status run opportunity. Any sample dates and/or how to book?

Dates are fairly wide open. I have a personal Travel Manager that books them for me. If you don't have one I can give you her email. I have no commercial interest in if you use her or not.

Is there any way to explore these options online or does one need to do it through a TA?

I found it using www.expertflyer.com. If you can read fare rules, you can explore it there. If not, you need a GDS to price it up and play with it.

We took advantage of one these BA deals over the New Year - BNE-SYD-SIN-BKK-HND-SIN-SYD-BNE .... BNE-SYD was QF J .... SYD-SIN-SYD was BA F ... SIN-BKK was CX J .... BKK-HND-SIN was JL J.... SYD-BNE was QF J

Primary purpose was to have a break, so not a status run, but still bloody good value and the QF flights counted towards the 4 flights rule for QF. I did a TR on the trip which you can see by hitting the link below called Far Eats.

SYD-SIN-SYD was BA F

Yes, That option is still available for $1,000ish extra

Again with the newbie questions. Would such a fare include stopovers or would that be more +++'s?

Fare includes 2 in each direction for free

In our case we got the Tokyo side trip for no extra.... IIRC we could have gone to many other places throughout Asia for the same price.

I'm able to get rough pricing on Expedia for approx $3350 for the following:

PER-SYD QF (BA Flt No) / SYD-SIN BA / SIN-BKK 3K / BKK-SIN CX / SIN-SYD BA / SYD-PER QF (BA Flt No)

Those with better skills than me can probably get better results!

Interestingly, one of the options routed SYD-DXB-LHR-BKK with the LHR-BKK sector in BA Y, pricing in at around $27000 :shock:

This fare is very difficult to get through an OTA. Although you seemed to have got close there. Using a TA takes all the headaches out of it.

The best route for oneworld status runners:

PER QF SYD BA SIN JL TYO JL BKK JL TYO JL SIN BA SYD QF PER earning 680 SC's.

This fare is often on sale on BA. Every time there is a BA sale to SIN, this fare is on sale too.

It's actually a fare that I've posted about before... it's been around for ages and is frequently on sale.

 

[Isochronous]

Great deal. Pity one can't get HKG into the mix but can't complain too much at that price.
