ebookers gave me no issue with a 23hr layover in CDG (12:30 till 11:35 departure of 333), slightly bumps price to £1,496.10. Very tempting

Got the ticket number. Sleep will be sweet

For those of you trying, if you get a weird "can't be booked" error from Expedia, try a longer connect in Paris on the way back. For some reason it made me have an 8 hour connect...

Mikeyyz - thanks for the tip about 8 hour layover in CDG on the return. I had to do the same. Finally! I'm off to bed.

What do you mean crazy, it's the only logical way! (smallest to largest in that order). Crazy americans with their middle-small-large system!

Ahem... I take it that you are, of course, referring to the temporal sizes of day, month and year (small-middle-large)k_sheep. Because the American way is quite appropriate if you consider their numerical sizes, as month-day-year is actually small-middle-large

Back to the topic ... I am soooooo tempted but this would've probably gone by the time I can decide on Monday. Aaaargh! Happy travels to all those visiting Bali

Either way has its merits...Im just so used to mm/dd/yy by now that it took me 10 minutes or so to figure out why that site was complaining.

On topic, can other (more knowledgeable) people confirm that the fare is indeed refundable? What I read from the routing language it seems it is, and ITA doesnt mention "this ticket is non-refunable" If it is, Im definitely going to buy one and see how things play out, and then maybe just cancel if I cant end up going

Anyone know if this is a "mistake/misfiled" fare. Or is it an extraordinary seatsale?

Really? What booking site are you using? What dates? More than enough information has been given. Do not put a stopover in. All transfers have to be less than 24 hours.

RE: Bali in the Fall

Hmmm... was in the middle of finalizing an itinerary on xpeedy us
and via SIN prices jumped $4K+ in the last few minutes.

[Update] Well... a few minutes later and it is back. AND it priced $12 cheaper.
Booked JFK-CDG-SIN-DPS-SIN-CDG-JFK business on Air France/Singapore Air
26 to 31 OCT via xpeedy us at $2198. If you are having troubles getting a SIN
itinerary... choose the EXACT hour before the SIN flights.
