Translation...plenty of business class availability.

If you want F BKK-FRA you will need to have a stopover in BKK...therefore you wouldn't be able to return to SYD or vice-versa.

Don't see any F class options for the return. Only business class on FRA-BKK on 3rd / 4th Jan - lie flats on the new A380. The only BKK-BNE availability I see is from 7th Jan onwards though.

Of course Louie.

Looking at the first one...the top bit shows the search that I did...e.g. BNE-BKK for 2 seats.

With this one it's a 7 day search so basically it was showing a weeks worth of results. The only thing then that really matters is seeing a + in the availability column:

FS/ CS- YS+

FS/ = there's no F on this aircraft
CS- = there's no availabilty in business (C)
YS+ = there is availability in economy (Y)

Re: Business Class Airfares to UK / Europe - approx $2700 - $2800 rtn!
 
Thanks :D

What's with the flights being repeated a number of times with a +1 +2 etc? I see some of them are eg CS- and CS+ for the same flights.

7 day search method.

e.g. first line = 19 DEC
+1 = 20 DEC
+2 = 21 DEC
+3 = 22 DEC etc.

...agree it would be much more readable if they just included the date!

Re: Business Class Airfares to UK / Europe - approx $2700 - $2800 rtn!
 
Thanks Bc world and Louie for the work you have both done for me, i have noticed that if i get the 14.20 flight out of Brisbane to Bangkok it arrives at 20.30 local time.
There is a flight from Bangkok to Frankfurt at 23.50 local time but i have noticed it is a 380 ac flight are we allowed to book that with US airways/Star Alliance thanks in advance

bcworld May 31st 2012 9:51 pm

Re: Business Class Airfares to UK / Europe - approx $2700 - $2800 rtn!
 
There's no reason you can't book the TG A380 - no restrictions like with Singapore Airlines.
