FARE GONE!!! Bookable on NW, Expedia and Travelocity thru end of schedule. Booking class BREE. Seems no cancel or change fee.

wow wow wow

yee-hah !

I see US$ 235 all-in on nwa.com, not $CAD I don't think

Checking rules for stopovers now.....

OooooOO...!

Also from YOW, YYZ...!

For the first time in history, Seattlites will be driving up to YVR to save money on airfare. :D

As a B fare, this is 150% EQM for both CO and NW, right?

Also good from YYZ (Toronto).

Oh So Sweet! :cool: ^ :-:

As a B fare, this is 150% EQM for both CO and NW, right?

Yup, B Fare is definitely good for 150% NW EQM!
What are the date ranges for this fare? Tried YYZ-BUH in April 07 and got a much higher rate ($900+)

ITA is showing it good through June '07

Upgradable for 15K NWA miles each way. Could be a "comfort run" for the willing...

Yup, B Fare is definitely good for 150% NW EQM!
What are the date ranges for this fare? Tried YYZ-BUH in April 07 and got a much higher rate ($900+)
I Just priced YYZ-BUH and on nwa.com and it was $211 with a stop in ams for November ^

Purchased May 11-17 for $244 all-in.
Already received confirming e-mail from nwa.com ^ :D ^

Looks like the NW metal options hop from YVR to SEA and vice versa. For us Seattlites this would let us just step off in SEA ;)

What is booking class "BREE"? Is this business? It appears to be $CAD 142 fuel surcharge only and taxes for a total $CAD 235.33.

Might want to combine it with the flight/hotel deal that Travelocity has

Here's how to save up to $300 on your vacation:

Is it just me, or does this fare require a 7-day min. stay?

B is discounted full-fare economy on NW.

Only Canadian cities?

Looks like a $0 base fare (per Fare Compare). I've got an 800 Euros NW/KLM voucher. But how would I ticket it using vouchers without blowing the lid off the deal?

Is it just me, or does this fare require a 7-day min. stay?

Yes.

Minimum Stay
RETURN TRAVEL FROM INBOUND TRANSATLANTIC SECTOR MUST COMMENCE NO EARLIER THAN 7 DAYS AFTER DEPARTURE OF THE OUTBOUND TRANSATLANTIC SECTOR.

Got this fare in May. $211 per person on Travelocity from YYZ to BUH. I chose the next-day delivery paper ticket option, even though it cost $124 extra for the 2 of us. After the AZ LCA deal, I've found this to be money well spent!

Thanks OP!

Yes.

Minimum Stay
RETURN TRAVEL FROM INBOUND TRANSATLANTIC SECTOR MUST COMMENCE NO EARLIER THAN 7 DAYS AFTER DEPARTURE OF THE OUTBOUND TRANSATLANTIC SECTOR.

Can you nest a return trip on KLM inside an outbound trip on NW (or vice versa) without running afoul of the rules?

Thanks OP, just got one for me and the future mrs. mlb_card (but she's keeping her name) in January.

I was too excited and didn't really think of the dates that I got... at nwa.com, the change reservation option wasn't available. Anyone know why?

There are no penalties listed, so i'm assuming it's changeable w/o a problem. ^

sorry, i am a bit dense. is this refundable and are there change fees? i see an absence of info in the fare rules on the refundability. thanks! I have family i need to see in Romania.

Works from YYJ

Cool

Thanks OP -- got mid-April.

I noticed the stopovers. Anyone had any luck with stopovers yet? :)

What's there to think about? Can't you book on nwa.com and cancel tomorrow if you decide against it?

I bought two trips. One is 12/22-30 and the other is 3/17-24.

Nevermind, these look refundable and changeable. Party on!

I noticed the stopovers. Anyone had any luck with stopovers yet? :)

I have - i only have 4 hours or so in BUH - rest of the week in AMS . ;)

What's there to think about? Can't you book on nwa.com and cancel tomorrow if you decide against it?

I am using Travelocity instead of NW. I need to make sure the old ticket issues don't pop up. Are these coming out as etickets or paper tickets? If etickets (like I'd presume), then nwa.com sounds fine too.

Works from YYJ
Works from YYZ as well.

Sweet ... I was just able to book this with a stop in Chicago on the return.

That last ORD-DTW-YYZ leg will solve my question of how to get to YYZ for an AZ LCA ticket.

Thanks OP

FYI!

I haven't totally looked into this fare yet, so I'm not sure how this affects anything... if at all... but I remembered reading this a few weeks ago and thought I'd bring it to everyone's attention...

http://flyertalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=588247


Anyone notice a new rule in the contract of carriage http://www.nwa.com/plan/contract2.pdf that states that all fares on NW have a minimum One-Way fare of $23.26? I wonder first where they pull this number from? I am sure this has something to do with protecting themselves from $0 fares (or close to $0) and from interline fares that are less (which is discussed in the rule).

I thought this would be an interesting item to point out - see for your self in rule 187 (18May06)

If booked on KLM flights using nwa.com, can we still get a refund within 24 hours?

Wow.

Thanks, OP!

E-tickets. :)

I'm getting $1202 now.

Thank you so much op. Booked for November, since I was going to see a friend in BUH anyway.

Just booked 6/2 YVR-AMS 6/9 AMS-OTP 6/11 OTP-YVR for the whole family!!!! Nicely done OP!! Thanks!

I noticed the stopovers. Anyone had any luck with stopovers yet? :)

Yes, just use multi-city search on nwa.com. YYZ-BUH-AMS(stopover)-DCA(stopover)-YYZ is $290/person.

I'm getting $1202 now.
7-day minimum -- make sure of your dates.

Stopovers in SEA/PDX also possible. I assume others in the US should be available as well.

In theory, we can change stopover dates after ticketing, right?

In theory, we can change stopover dates after ticketing, right?

Only after travel has commenced. Changing prior to commencement causes a re-fare.

I bought 6 tickets in the last hour through NWA.com. 4 of those have 55 min turnarounds in OTP and the rest of the time is spent in AMS (probably going to BKK, VIE, LHR). Maybe one trip will actually be to Romania! :D

Looks like FB PE is secure for through to 2009 and the Oesterreicher will get NE GE next year. :D

Thanks to the OP.

In theory, we can change stopover dates after ticketing, right?

NW tends to get upset. In the past, some of us have had to contact the BBB to get these changes made. But yes, date changes should be OK.

Sorry for all the questions.

Seating on KLM transatlantic flights: can I pre-reserve an exit row seat as a NW elite in advance?

Wow, thank you, OP!!! Just booked a spring break trip for the 2 of us (have always wanted to go to AMS, but couldn't find cheap enough tickets): 2/24 YYZ - AMS 3/1 AMS - OTP 3/4 OTP - YYZ.

Anyone finding dates still open?

Thanks OP.

This fare is also good from YWG.

Not often we get these sort of deals from the Canadian prairies.

CF :D

Stopovers in FRA possible.

7-day minimum -- make sure of your dates.

Gotcha Thank you! Booked for 12/24 - 12/31. Christmas in Europe :-)

Stopovers in CDG and LON also possible for a little extra.

Just got May 11-18 YVR-BUH - $235 CAD all in. :)

Booked Jul 5-19, $220 all-in
immediate turn at OTP on 6th
back to AMS for stopover of 12 days,
(will hop over to LON for Swissotel Jul 7-19th :)

Is there a definative word yet on if these are 1) completely refundable prior to travel or 2) refundable within 24 hours if purchased on nwa.com even if on KLM flights?

THANK YOU!

I found dates in August that worked for my daughter and me. I also arranged it so we get a three day stopover in Amsterdam, one of her favorite cities, at the start. Plus, we get a nice 6:55 PM non-stop flight to AMS on a Friday night - which works very well. We are booked 8/10-8/26. Somehow or other we will get out of Romania quickly - either by train or plane - as my daughter is not too keen on that. But I know several budget carriers service Bucharest.

This is assuming NW honors this - I hope so!

Is there a definative word yet on if these are 1) completely refundable prior to travel or 2) refundable within 24 hours if purchased on nwa.com even if on KLM flights?
1) In purchase, there is an "I agree to nonrefundable" thing to click & fare rules to the contrary seem unclear. This may be one of those things that sort themselves out with time.
2) I suspect the airline might be willing to give your $$ back and that is their policy, right? (I'm not a big NW flyer...)

Thanks OP. Nice find. just booked trip in march, lay over in AMS 266.00 all in.

Thanks!

Is Bucharest worth a couple of days of sightseeing? I doubt I will ever be in the neighborhood again.

Was anyone able to book a ticket with a stopover on nwa.com? If yes, did you use the multi-city option? I can't get it to work for the same price.

I am a DL FF. Can anyone confim that I will receive full skymiles for NW and KLM flights booked on NWA.com (putting my SM# on the booking). It seems like it, but just want to be sure.

booked stopovers in Stockholm. :)

Any way to do a stopover in the US to skirt the 7 day min issue and actually make this truly MRable?

I have had no luck with this so far.

Question from novice ...
Found routing YYZ-EWR-AMS-OTP. Can we start in EWR ? The YYZ-EWR is done on CO Express Jet
Same return ... can we stop in EWR ?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you would have to start in YYZ... you could stop in EWR on the way back, though.

Is Bucharest worth a couple of days of sightseeing? I doubt I will ever be in the neighborhood again.

Bucharest is worth seeing for one or two days, three max. If you are going in the summer then going to the mountains around arounf Brasov is worth a few days also.

Use multi-city but don't click "Search by Price" - click "Search by Schedule." Then pick the flights you want; it's almost guaranteed to pick up a B-fare seat on the flights you want at the right price - that is, unless some other FTers haven't scarfed them up by the time you get to 'em. :cool:

Yes but price went to 260.00

I wish I had thought to do an immediate turnaround in OTP, like someone posted. I assume it's too late. Oh well - that will be a minor inconvenience, as is the 6:20 AM departure time from OTP :).

Am wondering the same question. Spoke with an NWA agent on it...she was too "in shock" over the fare to even comment on it's rules....

And by in shock, she meant that she was composing an email to Revenue Management to get the fare pulled as you two spoke....

I just booked this at $233 all in (except Travelocity's booking fee):

June 4 depart BUH, arrive AMS (2-day stopover)

June 6 depart AMS, arrive YVR

I seriously hope you are joking ... you really didn't call them right? You're just looking for attention right? You want us all to flame you for ruining this thing? No, no you wouldn't really do that right?

First rule with these special fares: DO NOT CALL! They sort themselves out soon enough!

Why in God's name would you call NW about this??? STAY OFF THE PHONES PEOPLE! Call after the fare is long gone if you have questions.

I cannot understand this either. What's the point of calling and paying a fee even to book. :(

im sorry,

but hte caller is just stupid...

and i dont usually insult people

Booked 3 YYZ-BUH no problem. Hoping I can change outbound dates!!!!!!!!! Won't call NWA, thats for sure!!

Am wondering the same question. Spoke with an NWA agent on it...she was too "in shock" over the fare to even comment on it's rules....

Wow someone is a killjoy. Like you couldn't wait a day to find this out instead of potentially ruining it for everyone who hasn't yet, but wanted to book it. Thanks.

wow ARN! how did you manage to book that one?

I booked on NWA.com and I have not received my e-ticket number. Has anyone received it yet on NWA.com?

Alright, just pulled the trigger on this. The nice thing about booking a stopover is that the base fare then becomes >$0 (my base fares look to be ~$120/ticket) so the odds of the tickets being honored possibly increase.

NW will normally email an eticket number in a few days as long as you got the purchase confimation email you are fine. Assuming of course NW honours the bookings at all.

I am actually scheduled to be in Bucharest from September 13 through September 22, 2007.

Because of the 352-day advance, I can only book up until September 20.

That figures — just my luck.

Is there any chance I can change the return date three days later after booking, or will I get zinged with a change fee and a drastic increase in the airfare?

Does anyone have any suggestions before this fare is pulled?

I greatly appreciate it. Thank you in advance.

why the heck did you call them yet??

I'm not going to phone! But what is past history for NW on honoring this sort of deal?

why the heck did you call them yet??


Someone did this in the early pages of the AZ YYZ-LCA deal and they were saying that they hoped they were rewarded for "narcing" and that their ticket would be honored and AZ would praise them.

Really not building community in my book.

NW will normally email an eticket number in a few days as long as you got the purchase confimation email you are fine. Assuming of course NW honours the bookings at all.

I got my confirmation number and eticket number immediately.

I was able to look up my exisiting reservation online at nwa.com.

All says "confirmed".

This looks like a great deal for ST flyers. If it were *A I would jump on it. Still contemplating it. I scored a family vacation for my family with the AZ deal, this could be the next one.

Am wondering the same question. Spoke with an NWA agent on it...she was too "in shock" over the fare to even comment on it's rules....

Bless your heart. Perhaps you haven't been around long enough to know that one of the "10 Commandments" of mistake fares is:

1. Thou Shalt Not Call The Airline Until WELL AFTER The Fare Is Pulled.

You see, when you call the airline, they realize they've made a mistake. When they realize they've made a mistake, they pull the fare. When the rest of us can't get in on the fare, we get very, very testy.

So now you know.

I'm not going to phone! But what is past history for NW on honoring this sort of deal?

Well, last year I booked 3 LCA-GEG-LCA trips for about $300.00 EA. They were honored and I was able to upgrade to Business also. It was also like this a "B" fare.

What good stopovers are people getting? I've only been able to price out (at the cheap price) stopovers in AMS and WAS.

Again, thank you in advance.

I'm in for two. One over Thanksgiving. Sorry Mom. That one I'll see Bucharest. The second in May with a quick turn in BUH and the rest of the time in AMS.

Maybe we should do a Bucharest DO over thanksgiving or whenever :)
I grew up there and visit quite frequently.

And btw, that's to the OP for this one, good find! :)
(a great find would've been a $0 fare :D)

Got my eticket for my Spring Break trip - my post bar trip is on the bubble, as it's going to be a paper ticket due to an AC segment I just couldn't purge. Thank you FT!!!

Would it help to get the tickets honored if you book a nonrefundable AMS hotel room? I see a great nonrefundable deal for 11 months hence on Booking.com!

why the heck did you call them yet??

Out of habit, when my travel dates can flex with whenever surrounding dates have upgrade avail., I called NWA inquire about upgrade availability, since I'd flex my dates depending on that inventory. Wasn't an intention to "kill" the fare at all.

Would it help to get the tickets honored if you book a nonrefundable AMS hotel room?

Hold off for at least 24 hours before committing to anything - believe it or not, under IATA rules, the airline has that much time before ink turns to stone.

Booked one for myself and one for a friend to come along on the Memorial Day weekend week. I told him that if he can'et get that week of vacation in May, all he will lose is the $127 fare, not the $84 in taxes that would be refunded if he has to cancel. Do you think I gave him accurate advise?

I will not call NW/KLM about any of this until AFTER the fare is pulled. So far, I have been fortunate with the $64 BMI fare ORD/MAN, the first class fares DTW to Phoenix, and the U.S. Air first class fare to the Virgin Islands. Having been fortunate myself, I am not about to spoil it for anyone else.

However, I am wondering if this discounted B fare is eligible for upgrade with miles from a NW account if you are both booked on a KLM flight thru nwa.com and are on KLM metal all the way. I only have 3,000 miles in my NW WorldPerks account at the moment (used 80,000 balance to send my daughter to Chile on Delta) but I certainly could accumulate the balance if upgrading with NW miles on a KLM flight is allowed. Anyone know the answer?

Yes, if "I" avialibility is there, you can no problem on NW "D" on KL for upgrades! :D

book your tickets and worry about it tomorrow, do not be calling the airline yet....you have 24 hours to cancel on nwa.com.....

The fare is upgrade-eligible using any of NW, KL, or CO miles. Just give it 24 hours.

I think these fares are fully refundable at any point. But at the very least they are refundable until midnight the day after booking (not sure if that means we now have ~46 hours or ~22 hours to think).

I now have ticket numbers for all tickets bought on nwa.com.

I got them now.

Looks like the phone callers got the fare shut down on NWA. Is it bookable anywhere else?

In for 3. Too bad I'm only going to be in in Bucharest for 4 hours ^

5/15 arrive 1:20pm OTP
4/15 depart 5:45pm OTP

Ex-YYZ btw w/ 10 day stopover in AMS, but will almost definitely go somewhere else (will hit Keukenhof though).

Thanks OP!

There are some incredible stopover options available. I'm still booking on nwa.com.

Looks like the phone callers got the fare shut down on NWA. Is it bookable anywhere else?

Still shows up on nwa.com for me.

damn.. LAX-YYZ not looking cheap on my dates... :(

There are some incredible stopover options available. I'm still booking on nwa.com.

If you could name a few nice routings, I'd appreciate it. The best I can come up with that prices out cheap is YYZ-BUH-AMS-IAD/DCA-YYZ.

Thanks.

Moments ago booked for May with a beautiful stopover in Berlin for about $250 allin.

damn.. LAX-YYZ not looking cheap on my dates... :(

Try YVR then. AS up the coast.

I think these fares are fully refundable at any point.

Not so, Tickets are Non Refundable after the 24/48 cut off(see post below)

FRom NWA.com

What is your Customer First policy on canceling reservations?

Under our Customer First Guidelines, you may cancel your reservation by the end of the next day after your purchase was made.

Still bookable ex-YYZ as of 230a EST

Did anyone find a fare from BUH to Canada? Which dates?

Moments ago booked for May with a beautiful stopover in Berlin for about $250 allin.

I was hoping "incredible stopover options" meant places like DXB or IST.

Fare total explodes to $1500+ on NWA purchase page. :(

Still a little unclear
*if DATE CHANGES are OK as long as no change in routing?
* if date changes and routing changes are OK if orgini/destination cities stay the same?
* if date changes and adding a stopover are OK?

I booked phantom dates not knowing when I can exactly travel, hewnce the inquiries!!

NO, tried hard

Adding a stopover will definitely trigger a reprice. Date change before departure will trigger reprice. Routing changes will also trigger a reprice.

Fare total explodes to $1500+ on NWA purchase page. :(


ex-YYZ still there!!

Just booked on nwa.com for $270 all in:
02/23 YYZ-AMS
03/02 AMS-OTP
03/04 OTP-AMS-DTW
04/27 DTW-YYZ

And rewards nights at the IC Amstel and IC Bucharest to boot :D

Got 6 of them stopovers in ARN or CPH on each of them.

This was a fun 2 1/2 hours. Thanks OP!

Is it me or I must use KL metal?

It costs me over $1K to use NW metal :(

I booked another from YVR a few minutes ago. Routing options are dropping way off. I actually now have two out Nov 18, back Nov 25. My decision is if I want to transit AMS on the return or stay in BUH for 28 hours and spent the rest of the time in AMS. Who is going to be in BUH for T-Day and who will be in AMS?

Just booked on nwa.com for $270 all in:


Ticketed! Boy, that was quick for nwa.com

I've been working on this for more than an hour. Just booked:

5/1/07 - 5/10/07
YYZ-AMS-BUH - 3 nights
BUH-AMS - 2 nights
AMS-CDG - 3 nights
CDG-AMS-YYZ
$276. with taxes - used $160 voucher - total cost $116.

$211 was the cheapest routing with no stopovers but I didn't want to spend a week in BUH. I had it pricing at $302 outbound YYZ-MEM-AMS-BUH return CDG-DTW-YYZ but after I played around for a while, those routings wouldn't work!! But I'm sure not complaining!! Now I just have to figure out how I'm getting to YYZ!!

Crap...I can pull up the fare on NWA.com, but when I select it it jumps to $856.

I'll keep looking...

booked 12/23 - 01/02 YYZ-BUH and Apr 2007 2 trips. Thanks OP
looks like fare gone

Got 6 of them stopovers in ARN or CPH on each of them.

How did you do it?

This was a fun 2 1/2 hours. Thanks OP!

Should have been a fun 4 hours. Fare's still there, but inventory got pulled. Goes to show that calling is a bad idea.

I think the fare's been pulled (11:50pm PDT)

I was just doing some browsing on EBay, and it seems the JW Marriott in Bucharest is auctioning off 2 nights. It may or may not be a good deal, and I don't know whether it earns MR points, but perhaps this will be of use to someone: http://cgi.ebay.com/2-nights-in-the-Marriott-Grand-Hotel-Bucharest_W0QQitemZ130032223128QQihZ003QQcategoryZ 3255QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Exactly... the caller killed this one. If no one calls, it probably stays available all night.

How did you do it?

On NWA.com. YYZ-BUH, BUH-CPH (or -ARN), CHP(or ARN)-YYZ

Does anyone know how to force this to pair a mileage upgrade with this fare? I can't seem to make it work.

Used Zuji.com for all KLM metal trip. E-ticket issued within 5 minutes.

On NWA.com. YYZ-BUH, BUH-CPH (or -ARN), CHP(or ARN)-YYZ

Did you try HEL?

On NWA.com. YYZ-BUH, BUH-CPH (or -ARN), CHP(or ARN)-YYZ
Damnit...I waited a hair too long
i was putting in my cc details and it changed to 2k

Now I guess we compare what we got and make idle threats to sue NWA if they don't honor the deal! ;)

Did you try HEL?

I tried HEL repeatedly and it never worked. Looks like this one is gone. At least I've got my North America to Europe covered for the remainder of the next two quarters. :)

Between this and the AZ fares, I'm loving it. :)

Fare's still in!!! You need a 7 night minimum. I just did a 7X7 day spread 5/1 to 5/9 and there's lots of availability!! Do a flex search - 3 days on all sides - - you'll see it!! $211 with tax!!

Any sites still working? NWA.com is doing me no good any more.

ExpertFlyer still shows the fare...

Between this and the AZ fares, I'm loving it. :)

But will you be taking your baggie?

Dead for me on nwa.com (shows up as $235, but jumps to $900 when I try too book). BUT -- alive on zuji.com!

The caller killed it. Can't book anything out of KLM ca airports. Tell tale signs of damage control here.

Any sites still working? NWA.com is doing me no good any more.
Zuji gave me eticket number 15 minutes ago which is well after NWA had pulled their fare. Any site outside the US/CA should be able to book the KLM fare until it gets pulled.

I am going in for round 2 right now :)

Any sites still working? NWA.com is doing me no good any more.

I was able to book this fare on Travelocity about 10 minutes after it had disappeared from NWA.com.

Thanks for calling NWA. Could you not wait!!!

Am wondering the same question. Spoke with an NWA agent on it...she was too "in shock" over the fare to even comment on it's rules....

Anyone know if this fare is good for preferred (elite) seating in coach on KLM metal? Does KLM allow exit seat assignments before flight for international B fares and/or SkyTeam partner Elites?

one word-Amex

Booked one in April. Thanks, the OP. :)

I am still confused... is this fare fully refundable (after the 24-hour Customer First period)? Fare rule says, "penalties: no restriction", but I remember somewhere reading "the ticket is non-refundable" :confused:

just booked a rt on travelocity dates: 8/15 6:55 pm return 8/22

rt fare: $221-

All three of my confirmation/e-tickets have shown up. I think I'll keep the Thanksgiving week in BUH and take the train down through Bulgaria to Istanbul. Anyone interested in doing that?

You're right!! It prices at $211 - then when you go to the next step, it jumps to $856 or some crazy number!! I guess they yanked it!!!!

Fare shows at $211 YYZ-BUH, but once you select an itin, it pops up as $808. Tried a bunch of dates. Stick a fork in it!

The caller killed it. Can't book anything out of KLM ca airports. Tell tale signs of damage control here.


There is no way for any of us to know if the caller actually killed the deal. I agree that it was not a good idea for anyone to call, but the deal could have been just as easily killed by some agents seeing the tickets go through and noticing the fare.

Let's not "kill" the caller. But please, for future reference, no one call until a deal is very dead.


:cool:

FWIW, it's most likely that the folks in Revenue Mgmt. saw some unusual buying activity (or just the fare itself) on their own and decided to take action. That said, any NWA employee with computer access can message Revenue Management with relative ease.

It's been fun. Good night, folks.

Thank you travelocity.ca. ^

A summer '07 trip to Bucharest for CAD$275 all in. :eek:

Let the fun begin... :D

The caller killed it. Can't book anything out of KLM ca airports. Tell tale signs of damage control here.

I don't know, guess we got to cut him some slack, probably many people called for upgrade avail or there was a huge influx of purchases that triggered the alert.

CF

I can go all the way to complete the purchase screen where you put in you CC #'s with them with the fare intact. Limited flight options but you can still get the stopovers in with the fare. If you havn't got yours or want more I'd give it a try.

I found it for 04/07/07-04/14/07 with a stopover in AMS all on KLM :-:

one word-Amex

No luck there for me.

Just finished booking on travelocity.ca for $302.50 CAD 4/7-4/14/07

YVR-AMS-TXL-BUH-AMS-YVR (short layover in BUH) ;)

with stopovers in Berlin and Amsterdam! ^

Still pricing on SideStep - which takes you to OneTravel.com - but I haven;t taken it thru all of the steps to see if the price holds. Somebody should try it!!!

#2 just booked YVR-AMS-OTP-AMS-YVR on Zuji.com - eagerly awaiting e-ticket numbers. Just because NWA has pulled the fare does NOT mean that it is gone. KLM has it, so keep booking it :)

Still availiable on Travelocity YYZ-BUH $221. Booked moments ago for March and received e ticket conformation minutes later.

List your fun stopovers!

We got (on several trips): AMS (obviously, but never been), LIS, TIP, SVO, LHR, TXL.

Just booked my 2nd on TC.

It's been fun. Good night, folks.

This beats a Woot-Off any day.

I booked a couple tix on the NWA.com site (but travelling on KLM flights/flight numbers). Anyone know how to search for fare rules on these KLM flights?

Does it matter if it was booked on NWA? Im on a B fare.

Thanks!

Mind sharing the SVO itinerary?

...... the KL BREE does *NOT* allow OPEN RTN
however the same BREE on NW *DOES* allow it... :confused:
anyone booked on NW codeshares? :)

God bless Travelocity!

Booked on KLM YYZ-AMS-BUH-AMS-YYZ for $221.10 all in for 2/10 - 2/17 ^

booked on TVL or elsewhere? how did you get it to come up in search? Thanks!

EDIT: Got it, just select KLM, thanks!

TIP -that's awesome, does it route through AMS?

I tried on NWA and was on the final page about a hour ago but it wouldn't take the credit card info and after that it just kept changing it to a $2,500 plus fare. However, it's still available on Amex. I booked for 2 of us in August 07. Unfortunately you can only book 330 days in advance so nothing beyond the end of Aug.

Thanks to the OP and everyone who gave suggestions!

Roughly how long has it been before travelocity issues ticket numbers? :confused:

works on amex travel. got etix numbers just now. probably not going but...

Just booked one on Travelocity.CA with a US credit card.

May 20-27

I have an idea ... how about a Bucharest Do?? ^

Anyone booked from 2/10 - 2/17? I sure can use a travel partner since OBVIOUSLY I just planned this trip about an hour ago lol

I wonder if me buying 13 tickets through NWA.com might have tipped them off?

Have to cancel at least 4 of them due to scheduling conflicts. Should I wait (they were boked earlier than the flights I wanted) until the 24 hr mark or cancel now?

Just booked one on Travelocity.CA with a US credit card.

May 20-27
FYI .. you don't have to book it thru Travelocity.ca

I used travelocity.com for mine

edit: I had to electronically sign a statement that I am a Canadian resident when using travelocity.ca

Yes, TIP was routed through AMS. Everything I got was on KL metal. Tried a few AF legs, but no dice.

3/31: YVR-AMS
4/2: AMS-SVO
4/6: SVO-AMS; AMS-BUH
4/8: BUH-AMS-YVR

:)

hmm how did you manage to get this to price out with backtracking? i can't get it to price even though more direct routings seem to work...

Good job, YVR Cockroach!! As soon as this popped up, I thought of you! Maybe we'll both be on the same KL flights! Cockroach all the way!

Thanks for confirming the route on TIP. It's somewhere we've wanted to go for ages but it seems to be too late to get anywhere or NWA and I'm having no luck on travelocity or amex.

Apparently still can book through OneTravel. SideStep is a good engine to use as a jumping off point.

Plenty of interesting stopover cities -- AMS, SVO, LIS, FCO, MXP, etc. -- although you can only control three city pairs. Plug in YVR-OTP (aka BUH) on the outbound, OTP-your favorite stopover city in between, and stopover city-YVR on the return. Don't forget the seven day minimum. I just booked Lisbon, although I was torn between it and Moscow.

Good job, YVR Cockroach!! As soon as this popped up, I thought of you! Maybe we'll both be on the same KL flights! Cockroach all the way!

Still working on Travelocity. I couldn't get the ARN and CPH stopovers any more (and had no luck with GVA and ZRH), but this is fine.

Just booked another on Travelocity.com this time Aug 11 - 19. Overnight in BUH and the remainder in FCO. Never been to Rome

I couldn't get anything for 3+ hours and now I can't decide between all of the choices.

For those of you AAA members, this fare is also available on their travel site, and ofc, *no* booking fee.

I booked on this on travelocity:

3/1: YVR-AMS
3/7: AMS-BUH
3/9: BUH-AMS-YVR

I have three questions: Is there any way I can upgrade this with miles?
How do I get this itin to show up on nwa.com or klm.com... I have the Locator number and ticket number but neither is pulling it up. Does anyone know about select seating on KL for a NW plat?

Good job, YVR Cockroach!! As soon as this popped up, I thought of you! Maybe we'll both be on the same KL flights! Cockroach all the way!
YVR Cockroach is the man as always and made a great coimpanion for the return end of my LCA-YYZ trip in June. My only question for him is whether he is doing back-back trips again? :)

Ack, the final tally might actually be 16 tickets! Gotta sort out the mess later in the AM.

Got 2 for early Jan. Going to cancel the straight through one for the one that stops in LHR.

Got 2 or 3 for April. Going to cancel 1-2 as above.

Got 4 for May. Cancelling 2 for one that stops in VIE. Though it appears the ones I want to cancel have yet to ticket (was applying an ECV)

Got 4 for August. CXL the 2 straight through ticket for the 2 that stop at BUD.

Bought one for my partner's nephew through travelocity.ca an hour after fares disappeared at NWA.com

My travelocity bookings are slowly disappearing. I could see it on NWA based on my ff number. Now the return leg does not show up.

My AMEX bookings cannot be pulled up based on the confirmation code and/or ticket number. What is happening>

Small correction: My KLM legs dont show up on the reservation yet.

OSL available as a stopover on TVL

OSL available as a stopover on TVL

Yes, that came up earlier for me too. HEL is the only Nordic region capital that is giving me issues repeatedly.

Seems like one travel has to be manually processed by a human... has anybody received the second e-mail after the intial confirmation?

Seems like one travel has to be manually processed by a human... has anybody received the second e-mail after the intial confirmation?

I'm afraid that you're right. And nobody is available to answer the telephone right now. Too bad because I thought about calling to cancel with OneTravel and rebook the same itinerary with Travelocity while it is available lest the OneTravel folks refuse to issue the ticket tomorrow morning (or have NW/KLM tell them not to issue it).

Booked on NWA, sorry for the confusion

My travelocity bookings are slowly disappearing. I could see it on NWA based on my ff number. Now the return leg does not show up.I am getting something similar.
Over last half hour my 2 attempts on travelocity.com
have gone all the way to purchase screen,
then got "error" after hitting purchase.

One of those aborted booking attempts shows up on nwa.com
but with the outbound to OTP only, and no ticket number.

I am going back to zuji.

Seems like the fares are showing & available to be booked on nwa.com ^

I got all the way to the credit card page without having changes in fares.

Anyone able to book SVO through something other than OneTravel?

VCE is also allowed.

Uh oh, the last one I booked (~10mins ago) on TC does not have a ticket number in the email confirmation. Says "will be issued". Of course this one, YVR-HAM, is the one I need most.

available miniumum 7 days direct to buh via zji.com at 228 usd all in..., good luck..to all...!!

Booked two B fare tickets, on NWA.com. Are these upgradeable to 1st?

I finally decided to pull the trigger (I'm sure too late). I booked

YVR-OTP
OTP-OSL
BGO-YVR

March 18-26


Got it on NWA.com minutes ago.

Of course no ticket numbers.

Scanning the fare rules it seemed like no fees for changes, but can't confirm.



Here we go again

Seems like the fares are showing & available to be booked on nwa.com ^

Cripes, you're right. The itin to HAM I tried earlier is now pricing at $226 all in. Just hit the Purchase button. :)

Finally found the routing through to TIP
YVR-BUH-MIL-TIP
TIP-MIL-AMS AMS YVR

However, Travelocity says I need a paper ticket which sounds like a nightmare.

Expedia appears to be working from YYZ as well. Although it's forcing me to take an Air Canada flight to YUL to then take the KLM flight to AMS.

Also forcing paper tickets at $19.99

It took me a while to pull up the itinerary that I really wanted (a trip for August next year), but in any case, I had to use Expedia for my reservation:

YVR-AMS-LHR (stop-over)-AMS-OTP (overnight)-AMS-YVR all inclusive for a mere $261 ^.

Many thanks to the OP for alerting us to this awesome deal!

Keep getting an error too. If you want stopovers, use TL. If you don't, use nwa.com

cannot get multi city on nwa.com.tl.ca, tl.com nor zuji.com, any hints..??

thx

For my second trip I couldn't book multi-city itineraries on either Amex or NWA. On travelocity the date I was able to get were:

YVR-BUH 28th March
BUH-TIP 30th March via Milan on Alitalia
TIP-AMS 7 April
AMS YVR 9 April

I was hoping I'd be able to get CAI after I saw TIP but no dice!

Thanks again for mentionning TIP, I looked into going this year but the fares were well over $1,000.

MAD is $246 all in, ex-YYZ, so multi-city search is working.

flight 3: stopover-yvr [return date] must be at least 7 days after depart date

Make sure to select KLM as the preferred airline.

MAD is $246 all in, ex-YYZ, so multi-city search is working.

quick question, perhaps i am not doing multi city correctly, am i to assume just clikc on multicity and plug in the dates, all the fares i get are +1-+2G...??!!

merci, a.
