Unfortunately I don't need any more miles in 2008 and 2009 does not look definite enough yet, but the above routing (thank you very much roadtripman) allows to book LAX-LHR-ORD + (nested ORD-LAX-ORD) + ORD-LHR-LAX.

By booking 2 of these and LAX-ORD roundtrip, you solve the one-way issue.

Also, the LAX-ORD is never really cheap, usually around $350, so may be a good use for 25K miles unless you have some vouchers to use up.

Thanks for the heads-up, everyone. I've been trying to get it ex-IAD/DCA but can't get it to work. Any help at all? PM me if necessary. Thanks so much. I've never been to Europe so this is my chance (for cheap)!

Multicity no longer works

Now it looks like it is gone as of about 7a.m. Central Time.

A little bit before 7a.m., the multicity option on Priceline was giving you a r/t fare thru Dulles of $236 (up $15 from what it was earlier in the night) for mid March. After I went back about 7:20a.m., it was a regular price in the $600's.

If this deal is still available in the morning when I can reach the in-laws, we will verify they can do those dates and buy them tix as well.

In other words...shhhhhhhhhhh. Don't call Priceline UNTIL THE DEAL IS DEAD, m'kay???
i thought PL tickets do not accrue miles??

These aren't "blind" tickets, where you don't know the provider. These are just standard tickets, with PL acting as a travel agent.

Still available!


Priceline-tickets bought with the "name-your-own-price"-feature are not good for FT-miles, but normal tickets are!

I can get ORD-IAD-LHR-ORD for $332, but I am coming from BOS, and adding BOS-ORD to the equation is another $280-$300 plus given he ORD-IAD is early AM and IAD-LHR is midday, I would have to spend a night in Chicago, so ti does not work out. If anyone can get east coast, or BOS routing for this it would be great, I was planning a trip anyhow.

Thanks!
