O M G.

This is my first ever catch of one of these fares! Booked 7th to 14th at $96 USD.

Would love to meet up with some folks from FT!

PM me to keep in touch.

I only see that this earns 100% EQM in UA and OZ - are there others?

If these are V class, they earn 50% status outside of spain, and a flat 125 status for flights intra-spain.

http://www.aeroplan.com/earn_miles/o...artner=Spanair

However, the same page says that for Spanair flights operated by another Star Alliance airline, check that airline's chart. These are op'ed by AC, so I wonder if I'll get 100% status.

Also received booking reference and ticket number, but my itinerary mysteriously says Calgary to Madrid instead of Calgary to Mahon. The flight details are all the way through to Mahon.

The layover in MAD > MAH ergo booking sites get confused. FYI itins are viewable on checkmytrip.com

I booked one of these for Sept 26-28 for $173 on Orbz. I booked the first segment as an AC A fare otherwise you only earn 25% non-status Aeroplan miles for the YYC-YYZ-YYC segments. I don't plan to fly the last segment.

Too bad the fare is not upgradeable.

Now to find a cheap one way ticket to YYC. Anyone know of good hotel deals in Menorca?

THANKS OP!

Not exactly a "deal" but should you be into windsurfing or sailing, this is an excellent place: http://www.minorcasailing.com/

Otherwise Menorca (Minorca in English) is full of smaller and larger hotels catering mainly to European crowds. Not as bad as Mallorca, but I haven't been back for 15 years, so I couldn't say how it has evolved.

It doesn't appear to be, having checked expertflyer.

We're sorry, the price of this flight has changed from $96.00 to $2,008.00


Anyone still finding Bookable dates?
