Fiji with Sydney stopover 860 Euro
Curious to see any functioning dates to Vanuatu.
Edit: Ah, only before June.

It seems to me that the Etihad-operated legs would not earn DL miles at all.

Various open-jaws possible - NAN, APW, TBU
Great find!
One can easily create an open-jaw at destination - checked with NAN, APW, TBU. Still works out between EUR 850-900 on expedia.de (use the link in one of the previous posts and just modify the von/nach fields as necessary).

Ireland + Samoa or Tonga on the same trip. I like it.
Just hoping this deal will still be around when I finally get my tax refund.
Thanks for sharing! More deals like this please!!

I happen to be in DUB during the timeframe this works, so I took a look at it. It's odd fare construction - when I price out DUB-VLI roundtrip with the VA codeshares, Matrix shows me that's an end-on-end of a DUB-BNE Q fare with a BNE-VLI T fare, and no fuel surcharge. When I tried seeing if I could get just the DUB-BNE Q fare to fit my schedule, it gives me the same Q fare but with the fuel surcharge added in.

Yeah, it's a self-dumping fare obviously. Going to book the OJ Fiji/Tonga someone posted earlier. Would prefer to do Samoa/Tonga OJ but getting between those two countries is much more difficult.
