I couldn’t find any special mention on Cathay‘s website via a marketed Sale, but they’re there if you use the search tool. Prime time travel available in July - August, and February - March/24. These fares appear to be classified as “Light” but should still earn business rates with your fav airline.

It‘s great to see some Pre-C19 prices again.

Okay but considering its a saving of about $5,000, pretty sure those lost 300 SCs can be earned a better way.

Amazing find for a premium OneWorld airline with great lounges for OWE all the way!

Agreed on that, it’s a great fare.
I’d just credit them to a decent FFP
 
I'm also seeing SYD-HKG-YYZ return for around $6000 - not as good as the LHR fare but excellent for this route which is not highly competitive. Can also open-jaw SYD-HKG-YVR//YYZ-HKG-SYD for even less which gives you a stopover in YVR (of course you need to purchase YVR-YYZ on another airline).
 
I see the fare rules suggest Dec booking is available but cannot seem to price anything remotely matching the price which is a shame.

You’d also need to find suitable inventory for the corresponding booking class of the fare, which presumably would be scarce/nonexistent in Dec
 
So if I wanted to go in March 2024, and come back in December 2024, then I couldn't get this deal? I've had a search but I can't find it for this period.
This is an “excursion” fare, with max stay of 3 months

TRAVEL FROM LAST STOPOVER MUST COMMENCE NO LATER THAN 3 MONTHS AFTER DEPARTURE FROM FARE ORIGIN
