Just checking fares from Denver this morning. Finding sub $2k fares in July -Aug to DUB, BRU, PRG, VIE, FRA, ZAG, etc.

Also seeing sub $2k from BZN. That never happens.

There are some US-CDG/AMS fares on UA with similar conditions (7-day min stay) for $2100 that I've seen out there.

From MSP and DTW, ORD is an easy and cheap starting and ending points for these RTs.

These are nice finds -- I'd already bought the PHX-NRT on DL deal for $1994 for Labor Day and around. 747 SEA-NRT-SEA
And had already booked DCA-ATH over Thanksgiving for $1152 (still not sure how that one worked out). KL 747 JFK-AMS
And DCA-IST/CPH-DCA for all of March for $1111 booked through airfrance.us on 057 stock. Another ride on the KL 747 JFK-AMS

books on Google flights without a problem for 8/22-8/31 for instance. not a bad fare.

BRU, GVA, and VIE also fairly low prices $1700 or less.

Germany airports in the low to mid $1800s

It's bookable on the Delta site. Though yesterday I could see wide availability for Sun - Wed departures until Aug 22, seems much more limited today.

Fares Available from SFO, LAX Also

Using the Delta.com site got the following:

Looks like JFK - ZRH is still available from approx. $1700, and also from LAX ($1700+/-), and SFO ($1870 +/-),

SFO - GVA approx. $1900,
SFO - VIE $1960,
SFO - MUC $1900.
SFO - BRU $1900.
SFO - Stuttgart $1900.
SFO - CPH $1860.
SFO - ARN $1860

There may be more but these are the ones I checked.

Looks like the lowest fares are 8 days; 6 days or less, or 14 days or more show a few hundred dollars more. Fares seem to go back up after the third week of August (?).

I'm usually a *A flyer, but these are mighty tempting fares. Thanks OP!

On the earlier version of this sale, 6 day trips bumped the fare up several thousand dollars to DL's regular Z offering. IIRC the fare rules then specified a 30 day maximum stay.

Interesting that it's once again targeted at *A hubs in Europe.

St sfo/pdx/sea - zur/vie/bru/lux $1750-$1850

Not sure if this deserves a thread of it's own? LAX as well, probably most of West Coast. Based out of PDX this is a pretty nice price without having to position. 1 week minimum, July and August.

If redundant, feel free to delete!

Edit: meant to post this in Premium Fares. Can one of the mods please move or delete?
