I'm HOU based and have travel planned into next year that I didn't want to book 14 nights in Bali. I talked my in-laws into going and I think they wanted a layover in ICN. When I was booking their flights I tried to force the routing but I couldn't get anything to price correctly, I hate to say it...but maybe call? I think the 'deal' has been around that it isn't a mistake.

The phone agents may not be able to help much. When I had to call I already had an itinerary that would work--there were problems issuing the ticket online. We've had a lot of success finding routings in Matrix and Orbitz.
Your calling isn't going to end the deal. This isn't like the mistake fares across the US last holiday season. When I called over a week ago (a necessity), people acted like it was the end of the world and said all sorts of mean things, but the deal is still here. Do what you have got to do.

This fare is quite easy to book. Just find dates that work, and then play around with the routing. It will take time - if one looks for the quick fix by calling the airline the deal will be killed.

How wild has anyone gotten routing-wise with this, now that's it's been out there for a while?
I have a PHL-DTW-NRT-SIN-DPS-SIN-NRT-DTW-MDT for $538 that I'm happy with. I'm not particularly interested in stopovers but I'd like to hear what type of CPM the experts are getting on these... the OAL segments are pretty useless to me for earning purposes...

A friendly reminder to those who want maximum miles to have this flown before the end of the year.
I just pulled one up that would give me 2664 RDM. I'd be pretty disappointed to fly that far just for that many miles.

I don't think that I can take advantage of this fare but I think I will call Delta to see what dates are available anyway.
"some internet forum is full of people who demand that I don't call you about this fare. is it possible that there's been some mistake in it's construction?"

Has anyone been able to make this work starting anywhere from Europe? Still got a $1100 voucher for DL lying around and I'd like to spend half of it on a trip like this. Any European city as start on DL.com seems to turn the fare sky high.

For the same reason that fares from JFK to BOS can't be routed via LHR and still come in at under $100.

Don't know why I posted in this thread. Meant to reply in the DFW-LAX-JFK-NRT-SIN-NRT-DTW-LAX-DFW deal, hence the $1100. Well that was a great first post.

Still live
There are lots of options still available for this deal. The easiest way I found to search them was using google flights. PHL does not have many options remaining but Allentown, Harrisburg, Scranton, and State College all have lots of availability late Jan early Feb. I was only interested in those times so I didn't check other dates but between those airports you should be able to find plenty of availability. You just need to call in with the flight numbers to book. None of them show up on Delta.com besides PHL.
its back again. many dates available
