NW to Asia cheapest in over a year
I just booked PDX-BKK in October for $687. Requires a week stay, so not really a true mileage run, but many of us like Thailand and stay longer than overnight. Other cities should also be low. Use PI092 as the code to get these fares, this showed up in the weekly deals e-mail.
Great Low Fares and Hilton Family hotel Offer for Asia
Take advantage of great low fares from cities in the U.S. 48 to Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Taipei, Manila and Bangkok. These discounted fares must be purchased no later than August 9, 2005 and seats are limited, so don't delay! If you're planning a trip to Tokyo, don't miss out on special rates and Triple WorldPerks Miles on stays at the new Hilton Family Conrad® Tokyo hotel.
To receive this special pricing, just enter PI092 in the Reference Code field and your WorldPerks number in the E-Cert number field.

I'm going to go ahead & move this to the NW forum as its more appropriate for that forum & since it requires a week stay & is a co-offer from Hilton.
Thanks!

Is there a way to find the available dates short of plugging in every single possible pair? I tried a few pairs between NYC and TPE (/w this E-Cert fare only checked) but kept on getting No matching flights found.

Scroll down to the portion that lists the dates of validity. Then you enter the dates you want during the period. Unfortunately, if the "K" fare is not available, you have to plug in each new date. Really pretty easy in the scheme of things, just be sure that the you are searching during the limited availability window.

Great find, opushomes. Thanks! Can get LAN-BKK for $834 all in and DTW-BKK for $820. A great deal indeed.

Hope they have this same fare sale for travel in Jan. 2006. I miss the cheap NW Asia fares I have snagged the last couple of years from DFW!

Is this a targeted deal? How come I entered the PI092 and my WP# then got a error of "Reference code or certificate number is invalid"

I have contacted with online booking technical support. They are asking to forward the weekly deal email to them.
I did not keep a copy of that email. Could anyone forward it to me? Thanks in advance.
