FlyerTalk Forums Expert How-Tos and Guides
Last edit by: Sykes
  • Fare feels too good to be true? Don't call the airline!!!!!!
  • Double check that the fare is actually in Business or First as some online search engines or OTA's confuse booking classes on some airlines.
  • Post as many details as possible about the First / Business fare, including fare class, fare basis, one-way / roundtrip, sales channel, sample dates & total price, including taxes.
  • Post the details within the thread itself and not in the post title field as any information typed here cannot be seen by members accessing the thread using mobile devices.
  • Refrain from posting fare requests or engaging in off topic debates such as fare trends, specific aircraft configuration or visa requirements
  • The deeply discounted international fares discussed here are almost always specific to a certain country of origin, so don't ask if it works in reverse (e.g. a SFO-LHR-SFO fare usually won't work LHR-SFO-LHR). Domestic fares more commonly work in reverse.
  • Last, but not least, Don't call the Airline!

DL fares to MAD work from the following cities that i've checked. SEA, PDX, LAX, SFO, LAS, SMF, GEG, SLC, PHX, DEN, BOI, SAN.

Probably many others as well.. so would be wise to check especially if you live in a smaller market.

It seems that LHR has been added to the DL S fare deal. I see CVG-LHR for dates in early May via JFK for $1,639.40ai. JFK-LHR is $1,395.40ai. Sample dates 5/2 - 5/13.

Are all these amazing fares requiring 10 day stay? Has anyone seen good fares for a shorter trip, i.e 4-5- days?
