Potentially the wrong website for this deal. We're more about cheaply upgrading economy class to business class via redemption points.
not everyone on this site would have the same 'goals' when it comes to bargains or what classifies as a bargain
You're right. Good point. I take it back.
Are you insinuating rich people don't have goals?
think he/she is doing the opposite.

(It only says from cause we aren't suppose to say the exact price in case the taxes change by a dollar or so.)
isnt that around the same price with a coupon?
I haven't used a coupon before. However this airfare quotes directly in our system and doesn't require a coupon code or anything.
Also from what I have heard the ones you use a coupon with do not include chauffeur pick up and drop off.
Let me know if you would like to go ahead.
It was less than 5k with the recent 30% off coupon. And yes Chafuer was available as long as it was booked in the correct fare class, coupon or not doesnt make a difference to the booked fare class
It is indeed a bargain, but I don't think you understand what ozbargain is about, next time come with eneloops.
Any deal or bargain should be encouraged here.
There might be others who are keen to this deal. It's still a good saving of 3k for business class.
What are the travel dates on this deal?
Any date. It is year round.
We just need a specific booking class but there are no seasons. It is simply up to availability.
Shoot me an email with your dates and departure city and I can have a look for you.
This is a good deal
you can potentially do this cheaper if you buy the AA points with the bonuses. i think it was around 3.5k usd plus taxes for business return to europe
From memory Etihad is around 202,500 points return to Europe @ AUD0.028c each (typical sales price) which is about $AUD5.5K plus taxes. So probably not much in it.
Mind you Qantas or Qatar is 170K AA points to Europe return which is a more reasonable $4800 plus a couple of hundred in taxes.
normally, but AA have a pretty generous promo at the moment
160k points will cost 3k USD. you have to balance the right amount of points to buy vs the most bonus points in return to get the best value.

How much are taxes? US$250? Assuming that, that's USD3750, which converts to a bit more than AU$5k.
So you'd be saving a few hundred, but wouldn't get the points/credits for the flight, so not much in it. Especially as availability would be better if buying direct than through an FF scheme; especially if more than one or two people travel.
Also would depend if with FF you still get the CHauffeur drives.
Also if you only save a few hundred might be worth paying that to get the points and do it when this fare isn't available anymore.
Also will get status credits with VA.
Correct. Chauffeur drives not available on AA ticketed stock.
Try looking for a flight through HK or CMB to Europe. You'd find crazy cheap fairs for business class. I nabbed one in July this year for $1500 one way (BNE-AUH-CMB-AUH-LHR) on priceline.com.
What's your best prices on Economy for ~march ?
PS. It's good to see a travel agent on here finally, I hope more join us!
Hey
YEs we can. Shoot me an email and I can get the fare for you. Some under 1600/1500.
I'm certain these were $1165 or lower with the recent 30% off.
I'd expect similar to be available ~2mths from my travel dates (if not presently). Sent you an email!
Other carriers have been $200-300 cheaper (eg. Royal Brunei).
Deal reoccurs every 2 months it seems:

https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/274847
Surely you have access to similar prices?
travel agents only have access to the prices that carriers have on offer… its not like they just choose when to put up sale fairs
@SBOB: From how I hear lufthansa alliance works, that's not entirely true. I'm sure other networks/carriers are similar. I also hear agents claiming better prices than "carriers have on offer". Hell, half the time the aggregate search engines have better prices than the official airlines websites…
Is this available for open-jaw itinerary's?
Yes it is.
I got your email and am replying to you now :)
Now every salesman gonna come to ozbargain.
It's gonna be like '' everything at Harvey Norman 10% off, just tell me what and I'll order it for you in my store, email me at [email protected]''
I was thinking along the same lines. Feels like people are now advertising (indirectly) to get business.
Either way this is an amazing deal. Which is only available because we sell. If we don't sell, then there are no deals for anything.
I have been a user of OzBargain for a long time, from saving on phone bills, food, hotels etc.
I am simply looking at returning the favor, even if it means me reducing the price down to offer a true bargain to OzBargain users…..as I have used many a times.
:-)
No deal if it says….
Try again!
