Here's my google flights search . You'll only get the $4K price by booking through Expedia as far as I can tell. Click Price Graph for availability during Nov. Looks like minimum stay is 12 days.

Books as "I" class but I'm not sure who you can credit to...

Good find. There are 2 stops making it 30 hours but I could live with that in J.

Anyone flown this airline? Paul Lucas gave them a terrible review recently.

They are fine. You have to remember that most of those reviewers are capturing just that moment in time only. There Will always be varience. I only watch them to see what the seats are like, legroom etc

I traveled with them in March with my wife. BNE to CDG in business via Sian.
I probably wouldn't go that route again.
The airport transfer experience was a little ordinary. You are not allowed to stay in the airport. they move you to a hotel. Checking in and getting through security takes an age!
The lounge at Sian was ok.
The staff were great, both in the lounge and on-board on all legs.
I'd be happy to travel with them again.

Anyone flown this airline? Paul Lucas gave them a terrible review recently.

The cabin on Paul’s flight had a serious issue with cleanliness. This hasn’t been reported on other similar trip reports that I’m aware of.

In general the reviews are pretty positive, given the price point.
