Getting to Southeast Asia is never quick and rarely cheap. If you’re going to spend more than 17 hours on a plane for a direct flight, or more than 20 hours flying and transiting to your exotic destination, comfort seriously matters. With standard fares running about $1100 for economy, a $1500-$1600 flash sale seems pretty fantastic, trading cramped economy for a big spacious flat bed with lounges and drinks to wash the jet lag away! If you want it, don’t wait…
The Super Business Class Deal…
Southeast Asia is almost never on sale from major US cities which makes this deal extremely rare and majorly attractive. Not only will you only pay about $500 difference in fare for a round trip upgrade to major comfort, fine dining and a bed in the sky, you’ll also earn tons and tons of miles and status points which lead to later free flights. You can depart many US cities including New York, Boston, Los Angeles and San Francisco and head to many top Southeast Asian cities including Jakarta (near Bali), Singapore and more.
UPDATE: As Of 1:30PMEST 11/22/2016 this deal is dead. It lasted a mere two hours…
The Dates You Can Lock In (While It Lasts)…
Dates are available through end of schedule, meaning you can fly virtually anytime from now until end of summer next year. Most of the best availability we’ve found has been in Spring of 2017, which is the perfect season to visit. Bali’s peak season is generally April-May. Simply head to Google Flights to play around with some city pairs like Boston (BOS) to Singapore (SIN) and use the easy calendar to see when the lowest fares are on offer…
How To Book It And Maximize It!
Google Flights can link you to book directly with the airline, and these fares are also available on all of your favorite online travel agencies such as Expedia, Travelocity, CheapOAir and more.

Many of these fares are available through American Airlines who offer a Platinum elite status challenge, allowing you to secure elite status for an entire year just from one round trip…
