AB: (Anywhere in) Germany - Chicago €168/$188 rt ai incl. hotel! 2 pax

Anywhere in Germany (first train to Munich, then via Berlin) to Chicago, including a night's hotel for two people starting €164 per person (I could only find €168 so far). Availability between August 22 - September 18. I could not very booking class, but the distance of all flights combined is 9396 miles, which is 2.0 cpm at 100%, 4.0 cpm at 50%, 8.0 cpm at 25%, but remember that that includes the hotel!

Sample flights:
MUC-TXL AB6180
TXL-ORD AB7420
ORD-TXL AB7421
TXL-MUC AB6180

Example: http://booking.fti.de/offer?ibe=pack...t=5&aid=156468

To stay at the Holiday Inn (For €170 p.p.): http://booking.fti.de/offer?ibe=pack...ot=5&aid=12945

This was on the German blog too. This looks really too good, I wonder whether this will result in any actual reservation with AB and the hotel...

I could very possibly use this. It's only a bit more in late September and early October. It also works from Düsseldorf, although a bit more. I'm probably being a bit dumb, but how do I get the system to price up one or two nights with the hotel, with a flight return several days later?

Good question... Unlikely, but you should tell us if you figure it out!

Well, you never know! But, just to be clear, the rule of this game is to never call the airline which all frequent users such as myself should keep in mind. But what about calling the travel agent, as in this case? Does the same rule necessarily apply?

Yes, definitely do not call them. If there is an issue, it could just as well be with the travel agent. So calling them would ruin it for everybody.

Might be gone now. Cant pull anything up.

That said, I had odd experiences with my searches - sometimes pulling up the desired pricing and other times not.

Out of curiosity, did anyone actually book/try to book?

I didn't, but I know some people on SF did (who stole the deal from here/ the other blogs)

Read where? Do you have a fare code on your screen?
I would also suspect those to be some kind of special-TA-fares and as such earning nothing or as you said 25% at most, so, essentially nothing.

Yep, I did. FTI cancelled today by email, without any reason.

I like your attitude. Never mind, try next time. ^
