Anyone having any luck forcing anything OTHER than Y on the LHR-BOM sectors?

Wish I didn't have Thanksgiving/Xmas/NYE/spring break booked up already - these fares are amazing. 20hrs+ each way from BOS though, so can't do that on even a long weekend.

Is anyone actually able to force this to book in anything other than Y? I really want to sit in anything on the A380 other than Y. People have seen it in ITA, anyone on Orbitz or PL?

Thanks, OP! Had Dec 20 outbound on my orbitz screen but walked away to take a call. 20 minutes later, that seat was gone! Seeing as how its a Y fare basis, I was shocked that Y class is already sold out Dec20 SEA-LHR.

Booked Dec21 outbound instead. SEA-LHR-BLR
Dec27 returning, same routing.

Thanks OP! Booked one sightseeing trip with a day in DXB & one in BOM and one 1-day trip to BOM. All include YYZ-LHR and fully on One World partners. Very nice!

It's still out there. Got JFK(BA)-LHR(9W)-BOM(NW)-AMS(KL)-MAN(AA)-ORD in March for $495 AI. Un-freaking-real.

Tagging it on it on the end of two months in Asia thanks to the DPS C mistake. Should be one heck of a three month extravaganza.

Fare Rules?

What are Fare Rules? I saw one post on the details.. But can some one give a run down on the basics?

1. Refundable
2. Changable (Schedule)
3. What's the luggage allowance on AA/UA Segment within US?

ORD-LHR-DXB-BLR-DXB-LHR-ORD $421 ai

Is this going to work!?

I just booked in march on orbitz but got the confirmation email 20minutes later saying it was being sent to the airline for review

"This reservation request has been sent to the airline(s). Final purchase is pending until we receive confirmation from the airline(s). Once that confirmation is received, usually within 24 hours, we will update your travel document. "
