A while ago there was these lovely mistake fares from Yangon (Burma/Myanmar) to San Francisco in First class for a very very very very very low amount of money. I missed out, and then it happened again. I missed out again. I swore to myself that if it ever happened again and it was still live when i found out, I would not hesitate I would whip out the credit card, book it and deal with the aftermath later.

Well… it happened again last night. Frantic organising of Credit Card info, working with Travelocity’s website and playing with my calendar of dates when I can, I finally got it to work. The booking accepted (6th attempt) and my credit card was charged (apparently… more to come on that).

I managed to get the final routing for $561….

Yeah you read that right… $561 for like 20 hours in Swiss First Class. Hell freaking yes! I did everything I could to get it to work with the Frankfurt First Class Terminal on Lufthansa for the dates I wanted but it just would not work, this was the next best thing.

Now comes the waiting game. I never recieved an email confirmation, I can find the booking on both ANA & Swiss’s website but neither show an E Ticket number. Therefore my booking has not yet been ticketed.. which doesn’t bode well for it to be honoured… but.. If it goes through.. im going! If it doesn’t no loss. I will hold off a couple of weeks yet before booking down to Yangon… although how I am going to get there is a whole other story. I have plenty of points up my sleep for some Economy seats so that shouldnt be an issue. Now the waiting game begins (don’t worry you will all be kept updated!)
