EY J Singapore to Europe just over $3,000 return

[Mattg]

Some good prices at the moment on Etihad Business Class from Singapore to Europe, including to Madrid.

Etihad starts flying the A380 on SIN-AUH in February.

Combine with a separate ticket from Australia to Singapore for good value on flights to Europe.

Oh, meant to post that the other day. Especially noting the A380 coming back online.

A good SR for VFF before the program turns to sh$t.

I have been looking closely at those fares over the last few days. Am close to pulling the trigger on 2 x J tickets for May/June next year to Frankfurt. They would cost around S$6,440 (A$7,360) for the two of us. We had been intending to fly into Paris but that was about A$1,000 dearer and that can buy a lot of train fares. For the same dates on QR out of Perth to Frankfurt the price is around A$15,400 on 'special'.

 

[OZDUCK]

Prevarication has taken its toll. The Frankfurt fare has jumped up S$600 today. Now Brussels is cheaper - hmm?

There is also a very good fare on Etihad, from Manila to Copenhagen return in business:

I just did a dummy booking 4-11 December and the fare was AU$2744 net of the Amex discount.

The Manila deal is often there. It's good and I would happily use it.

I think some people though prefer to stopover in Singapore and/or find it easier to get to Singapore from Australia than Manila.

Especially with the option to combine with a cheap daytime flight back to Australia, with most/ all (?) ex MNL flights being overnight.

And the hassle of Manila airport and fewer flight options.

Plus MNL often has the horrible 777

I actually think the 777 is OK (old but quite comfortabe, for me at least). I prefer it to the 787's with the yin-yang seating in business. What was EY thinking?

I love the EY 787 seating personally and my preference is to have a rear facing seat.

what is the Amex discount?

It's explained in the quoted loyalty lobby article (above).

Now I know how my brother-in-law managed to fly J to New Zealand. I am looking at SIN-MAD in May/June next year. I've just got to be careful not to pick a 17h layover in Abu Dhabi.
