IB/BA: LIS(DUB,LON)->(MAD/BCN)->JFK for $315+

It's probably not a mileage run, since does not bring in a good CPM, but this is awesome flight for people on a cruise (Sail to Europe and fly back). I just wanted to share and did not know where else to post it.

You can get a nice cruise from Miami to Barcelona or England for $399.

But since the routing is illogical to booking engines, it's hard to find this fare. I was able to find it via Orbitz yesterday, but can't find it now. Even for ITA Software you have to be tricky.

It can be routed via MAD or BCN, but BCN is cheaper ($300) and you have to use IB on a first leg and BA on transatlantic leg (otherwise even ITA software does not find it)

Currently I found it on http://www.airtkt.com for $328 via MAD
And on http://www.cheapair.com/ (and they have $4 cashback on eBates) for $315 via MAD

Also it works with DUB and LON, but a little bit more expensive

I've tried it on April 17th, but should work on some other dates as well

Good luck !

Thanks!
Just wish you could depart from BCN, then it would have been perfect.

Looks interesting, although not a MR. Thanks for posting.

This is below 5cpm so it's a MR.
Also looks to be an FD but I won't complain.

Isn't this for a one-way ticket? If so, it's more like 7 cpm which of course is still a decent deal for this type of trip.

Look at the MPM again, and add to adjust for 500 mile minimums.
With good routing you should be able to get it below the threshold.
