Hi hopefully someone finds this useful

Etihad has 30% off all flight bookings with code STFECO for Economy Class and STFBUS for Business Class. Travel between 15/01/2017 - 30/06/2017. Book by 11/11/2016 (today)

I don't care about economy, but some very good deals to be had with business ex CMB

for a lot of dates I can find CMB>European city (Frankfurt, paris, Geneva etc) + return from Europe to Aus for ~$2000 AUD.

for example

departing 1 April CMB > AUH > FRA
returning 15 April ATH > AUH > MEL

total 225673 LKR (AUD$2012)

tack on a reward flight or a cheap positioning flight and you have a very cheap European holiday flying business

I used google flights and ITA Flight matrix to find locations, happy hunting
 
Thats a great fare , I have been looking at Airasia OOL-KUL for $500 AUD in there Premium cabin and you can get Malaysian business KUL -CMB for around $350 AUD.

So around $3000 AUD for a business class trip to Europe with a few stop overs on the way ... Bargain !!!

I could also see flights out of KUL for about ~$2500 (KUL>AUH>GVA; ATH>AUH>MEL). Same overall price if you combine it with your air asia flight but more direct.

Then again, why fly direct when you can connect?
 
The promo codes still work as of this minute - perhaps the 11/11 deadline is UK or USA time?

Although I can't seem to get the same price as mentioned in homemade's itinerary - now coming in double (but the promo code still works for 30% off).

because i can't recreate the fare I can't see the fare class... but if eligible it would give ~14000 AA miles - a nice off-set to the fare if you regularly buy AA miles.

edited: I found a fare exKUL for $2900 but books into 'Z' which isn't on the earning table for AA :(

Temporary airport closure in 2017

I remember reading something in one of the NZ papers online but can't find the article again so just googled it.

Colombo airport due a runway upgrade so certain flights during certain hours will be rescheduled (times listed in above article) I think Jan to April 2017. So schedule your connections accordingly.
