I am trying to book CVG-BRU and CDG-CVG for this summer (July 7-22).

On delta.com I can pull up DL 330 CVG-ATL 11:55am-1:32pm (U fare)
DL 124 ATL-BRU 5:45pm-8:45am (U fare)
DL 43 CDG-CVG 10:40am-1:55pm (U fare)
This all costs about $1500.

On ITA I can pull up DL 330 CVG-ATL 11:55am-1:32pm (U fare)
KLM 9097 operated by DL 124 ATL-BRU 5:45pm-8:45am (V fare)
DL 43 CDG-CVG 10:40am-1:55pm (U fare)
This all costs about $1200.

I know I can't book through ITA, but I was able to pull up the second fare on Orbitz. However, it wouldn't let me book. It kept giving me an error message then eventually told me I had to contact the airline directly. I called Delta, but the best price they could give me over the phone was about $2,000 even though I had exact flight numbers and times. I have tried all the other booking sites I know. I also tried KLM.

Anybody have any ideas on how I can book this? I really want to keep the flights I have because I don't want to fly through JFK and I want the direct flight back home.

Thank You :)

Keep trying Orbitz/Expedia/Travelocity as I don't believe Delta (via phone or online) will mix U and V fares between origin and destination (meaning without a formal stopover).

One option you may consider is just CVG-CDG round trip and take the TGV from CDG to Brussels. It's about an hour train ride. Since you are going back to Paris you could buy a round trip.

Yeah this seems to be the problem. Delta won't pull up the KLM codeshare online and the booking agents apparently can't pull it up with for a reasonable price. The other sites besides Orbitz wouldn't let me piece together the flights I wanted at or close to the price I was looking for.

Isn't ATL-BRU operated with a 757? Yuck! Fly to AMS or CDG and take the train from there. It's much easier. If you opt for CDG you could just get a RT.

No it has been a 767 for a while now and this year they changed JFK to BRU from the 757 to the 767, but I don't want to go through JFK.

I want the direct flight home, and I want the miles. I don't have to fly Delta living in CVG, but it works well for me so I have no reason to switch. Prices have been going down lately too :D.
