American Will Honor $22 Business Class Shanghai Fares — $0 Beijing Fares Remain a Question

On Tuesday evening American published fares of $0 and $22 plus taxes and fees for business class between Washington DC and both Beijing and Shanghai. For the most part, the expectation has been that: American would honor the fare for those who ticketed American would not honor the fare for those who merely held the […]

Revealed: American’s Internal Memo On China Fares

At this point you're surely all familiar with American's ~$450 roundtrip business class fare between Washington and Beijing, which they published for a few hours last night.

American has been quiet, and up until now all we've been able to do is speculate about the fate of our tickets.

While not necessarily current info as of this evening, JonNYC at Traveling Better has the internal memo from this morning, which American sent out to agents.

Here's the first update, which went out at 7:20AM this morning:

The New Super Chic Air France Safety Video, and 5 Reasons Why These Videos are Great Investments

Air France has a new ‘super chic’ safety video. I’ve not been keen to fly them in recent times (mostly because of how long it’s taken for them to start rolling out a lie flat business class), but I kind of like this video. My first five thoughts watching it: I wish Air France crews […]

Will American Honor Cheap Business Class Tickets To Asia?

Last night American published some amazing ~$450 roundtrip business class fares between Washington and Beijing. The fare was pulled after a few hours, though not before hundreds of people managed to book.

The trend as of late when we see these types of mistake fares is that the airlines issue an official statement very quickly about whether they'll honor them or not. Per DOT regulations it seems pretty clear that American will have to honor them, but I guess we'll see.

But we haven't heard from American. Why?

I have two theories:

Are Qatar Airways A380 First Class Awards Ever Available?

I know I'm not the only person in this hobby that's mildly addicted to the A380. As far as the "big three" Middle Eastern carriers go, I know many have already booked Emirates A380 First Class and Etihad A380 First Class Apartments, though snagging Qatar Airways A380 First Class seems to be more challenging.

Some people come to the conclusion that Qatar Airways doesn't release A380 first class award space, and they're not that far off.

First of all, keep in mind that Qatar Airways only flies the A380 on select frequencies to London, Paris, and Bangkok.

Furthermore, Qatar Airways is extremely inconsistent with how they release A380 first class award space. While first class award seats are pretty easy to snag on their other three cabin planes, the A380 is tricky. It's true that sometimes they don't seem to show any A380 first class award space. But other times they do.
