LH/CO/AF/NW/UA/US/AA: BRU-HNL, €335+, about €605 all in

A lot of carriers are offering good fares ex BRU to USA. However, HNL stands out due to the milage offered. Final price may vary but expect around €600 including fuel surcharges. These fare can all be found on ITA.

Fares:

NW: VPROBE
AF: NPRBL

CO: LL6S15W
US: WLE7SY
UA: WNNPBE
LH: SNNPBE

AA: QLSSBE


Requirements are generally Saturday night minimum stay and travel not permitted around christmas.

BIS-miles one way about 8500 with a short routing. Hope this will be useful for someone!

Thanks... haven't been able to get this down to just one overnight layover... but did price a five day flying extravaganza ewr-bru... hnl and back for about $1300 US yielding about 50k EQM... and on CO via LAX so EUA is possible except for the 4 TATL hops.

I've tried to look this up on ITA, but I couldn't find anything under this LH code: SNNPBE. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I'm using the syntax to specify the fare code, but it's not coming up with anything. Without specifying that on LH I get much higher fares.

Looks like this prices around $915 AI on UA with a 2 night stay and prices go up a good deal for any shorter turns. Great thing is the UA fare is a W class and there are a variety of routing options.

For example, BRU-LHR-SFO-HNL-SFO-LHR-BRU nets almost 33k EQM and is upgradeable with 1 SWU each way.

In theory. Actually, when I was playing around with this on ITA, the low fare for my route put me on the train from CDG to Brussels... that probably looked like an open jaw.

on CO.com you do a multi-city search... but you need to figure out exact dates, times and routes first.

I did this all using ITA...but still getting this bloody error...

Actually if you book ie FRA-EWR-BRU instead of FRA-EWR-FRA, you will get a much lower fare using CO.com. I will do the same on my flight to HNL...

My input:

FRA-EWR: 01/19
EWR-HNL: 01/19
HNL-EWR: 01/26
EWR-BRU: 01/27

Well, would also be open for UA flights if someone is able to lower the price by using open jaws
