DL and KL combine DL LAX-IAD and KL IAD-IST Fare

$681.50 A/I 4.4CPM

Routing LAX-ATL-IAD-AMS-IST-AMS-IAD-MSP-LAX
Available February 13 Return 20th

All DL segments in T, KL Transatlantic R, KL intraEuropean L

Requires a day at IAD, and allows for possible misconnect at MSP on return.

Doesn't seem like same day turns are possible, believe it requires a Saturday night stay.


First time posting a MR, hope I included everything needed.

Found on ITA... you have to do multiple segments since if you search LAX-IST you'll get a KL fare which is higher, but by splitting it up in to DL LAX-IAD and adding IAD-IST on KL it comes up.

Are you sure, like SURE, that KL R and KL L will earn you 100% mileage?

I would be very happy for you! If so, lemme know ... a commute from LAX to IST for a while would do me fine.

Best wishes.

Privacylawyer, my guess is the PM desk would not be helpful considering you want the KL Fare for IAD-IST segment. PM desk would give you DL fare LAX-IST which when I was searching would increase the fare by a minimum of a few hundred bucks.
