MilesBuzz! - Lufthansa Air Auction -- Bids start at $20

I saw this when browsing around,

Lufthansa is holding an Air fare auction on their site for two days starting tonight at 7PM but it doesn't mention the time zone unfortunately.

This might be a good chance to pickup some of those cheap tickets to Europe. Kind of like those cheapy United tickets to Paris everyone was so fond of in the last few days.

I figured I would let you all now. The auction runs for two days.

The URL wrapped so I don't know if it will appear correctly or not.

Have fun,

In Ol' Lufty's website it states that the auction times are Eastern Standard, so 7 pm Eastern = 4 pm Pacific.

Also the tickets appear to be one-way tickets -- so you still have to buy a ticket to get back, or maybe a discount RT and throw away the second half.

Law Lord--sorry, don't know what you are looking at on the web site, but all of the trips I see displayed show an outbound AND a return flight.

One way? What does 'return flight' mean then?

I'll look again -- on my browser, all I saw was an outbound city-pair and outbound time, not a return time. It wouldn't make sense to have a one-way fare sale, so maybe I didn't pick it up for some reason. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/frown.gif

[Later: I looked again; you're right, the return flights are there. 'Coulda sworn that this morning I saw only outbound flights. Another sign of old age . . . ]

Don't worry Law Lord, I'll "defend" you, and waive my usual retainer fee this time. When I click on the auction site, my screen also shows only the outbound leg. I need to scroll farther right to display the return flight. There, my client has been exonerated.
