AA seems to have a sale on business class fares to Europe for the Christmas season. IIRC someone posted about $2500 RTs. Sigh. I guess Santa doesn't think that I was good this year.

I can't believe my eyes
I jumped on Delta Com first thing Monday morning and clicked on the cyber Monday link for a couple of Delta one vacation fares with highly flexible dates for later in the year.
No luck!
It seems they want you to fly in late winter or early spring to cold places.
This isn't a fare sale
It stinks even for flexible travel

I see coaach fares for January 10 through March, generally over about $1000 for a TATL or TPAC RT with a Saturday night stay required. What I checked seems to book into T class and has pretty reasonable connections.
There are also domestic RTs starting at just over $400. However, watch out for E fares oon some of these routes.

You'd think that, but someone tried it in Stockholm/Arlanda and it's... well... pretty terrible. I stayed there once to avoid the obscene Swedish lodging prices for a real hotel, and had pretty serious regrets. Part of the problem is admittedly that it's more of a hostel than a hotel, though.
Now a decommissioned early build Emirares A380 complete with shower suite... that idea I can get behind

. Not saying it's impossible to do a good job though. It certainly seems like KLM knows how to turn an airplane into a good place to stay, at least: https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/4516821

Unless you had to pay >$1,000,000 for required maintenance to move it.
Wayne Newton's jet is on display at Casa Shenandoah because the required maintenance cost more than the jet is worth. If you look quickly (and are sitting in an A window seat) as your flight lands at LAS you can see it. It is about 1/2 mile before the fence at McCarren. His place has been turned into a for profit museum as his bookings on the strip are only memories.

I've heard about about it (but never actually caught a glimpse), it's bizarre because there's a terminal and jetbridge, but the home isn't actually connected to any taxiways or the airport...
The more I get into my degree and flight training, the more I wonder how on EARTH anyone (whether it's Farmer Joe, Mr. CEO, or an airline holding company) own and maintain aircraft. It is just a constant hassle, and a bigger hole in the ground than a boat or ATV. Anyway. I was disappointed by the "sale" as well. As is typical, just the normal list of DL origin cities that they send out in their weekly fare sale emails. I saw nothing that looked like any sort of "deal."
