This is the press release I found on their Web site:

"OASIS HONG KONG AIRLINES OFFERS ALL BUSINESS AND ECONOMY CLASS SEATS AT LOWEST FARE FOR ITS INAUGURAL MONTH.

Fly Business or Economy Class to London Gatwick direct for just HK$6,600 (THB31,500) and HK$1,000 (THB4,800) one-way respectively."

FWIW...now all we need is for Russia to authorize Oasis to fly over its airspace and to find an airline that gives a great return Bangkok to Hong Kong deal which will make this actually worthwhile.

Yes, but included in the small print, once you add taxes and surcharges, a return flight works out at roughly 500USD. And that's only for 10% of the seats - the rest are more expensive...

Looks pretty standard, maybe 2 to 3 hundred less than normal business class, carrier dependant.

Although I've just got a quote for booking a stupid amount of time in advance, and you can get return economy ticket for 260GBP - still not that cheap considering...

Yeah, first flight out of honkers today grounded because the russians

won't give them overflight rights - you pays your money....

BBC did a price comparison and in several cases prices were more than BA.
