What are thoughts for credit for mileage? I get this is by no means a good mileage run on United (~3200 redeemable miles due to fare class giving 50%), and the value is this deal is more for seeing Lisbon on the cheap. (This sale from TAP makes it cheaper for a RT than some 1-ways to Europe are!)

Also, this prices out the same if you do a multi-city itinerary (so BOS - LIS, LIS - BOS, BOS - YYZ is the same as BOS-LIS-BOS-YYZ). With the multi-city, the back check through wouldn't post a concern if you wanted to check.

This is such an awesome deal and very much still available throughout much of the rest of the year but living on the west coast and having to position makes it a bit more complicated for me. And after getting that $215 RT to AKL from LAX I feel like I'm waiting for something to be even better than that. Ha!! Enjoy the travels, dudes.

Yeah OTA's are dropping the YQ because of the AC segment - surprised this is still alive and bookable.

You cant. Opposite never works for international as fares aren't filed to work in the opposite direction.

my flights i was looking at jumped to $800

I made the dumb mistake asking on FB to see if MAD or BCN were better places. Not sure what i was thinking since i was just going to be there for 24 hours. It repriced higher a few min after that. Of course then i book a trip just to lisbon and back not paying attention booked a flight for $390 that wasnt going to work. Luckily that was on expedia so i could cancel

Some good fares end at YUL. TAP must really want to sell tickets that get people to Canada to have a sale like this.

Booked for $296
Booked a flight this morning from EWR to LHR and returning LIS to YUL over Thanksgiving. Going to skip the last segment. Fingers crossed this will be ticketed!

I'm glad mine didn't go through. Now I have a flight to a different destination around the same time that earns AS miles

I got a $346 multi-city itinerary using Expedia on Saturday night:
BOS-LIS
LIS-BOS
BOS-YYZ

Within 1 hour was ticketed and confirmed. Did not get to select seats, but a call to TAP today got seats selected.

What are the chances on this sticking ? Has anyone heard of any cancellations from the OTAs ?
