April 4
For better or for worse, I spend a lot of time researching airfares. Mostly international business class fares, but sometimes not. Yesterday, while I was sitting on my porch, searching airfares, something dawned on me:
“Why not share the best fares I am finding with Planereality readers?”
So, here it is; my first of what will be weekly installments listing the best fares I am currently seeing. A few caveats: This is not meant to be an all-inclusive list, so by all means, if you are aware of what you feel is great fare, feel free to post it in the comments section. Some may be good mileage runs while others may make more sense for “normal” travel.
My list of “good” fares is more qualitative than quantitative. Yes, I’m taking into account the amount of frequent flier mileage earned relative to cost, but also reputation of airline, attractiveness of the cities and type of aircraft scheduled to fly those routes. These factors, for the most part, are the ones I use when evaluating an airfare.
Unless otherwise noted, I found the fares on Orbitz, one of many sites I use in researching fares for my trips. In fairness of full disclosure, I also have an affiliate marketing partnership in place with, among other search engines, Orbitz. Good fares none-the-less. I found the following around May 14-21. Use the flexible date/city search to start, and then narrow it down from there. Fares:
- Delta IAH-PVG $3637
- Delta FLL/MIA-ICN $2888
- Delta FLL-GRU (Sao Paulo) $2865
- MIA-PVG: United $3392 Continental $3412 Delta $3432
- Air Canada MIA-HKG $3486
- MIA-PEK United $3372 Continental $3492
- Delta LAX-UIO (Quito) $1921
- IST-HKG Emirates $2106-Qatar $2222-British Airways $2560
Turkish $2492
