(fare gone) Calgary, Canada to Menorca, Spain: $130USD all-in, September, AC/JK

[YYZC2]

Spanair (code JK, Star Alliance) has filed a $49 USD R/T in E class between Calgary (YYC) and Menorca (MAH). $130 USD all-in.

Routing: YYC(AC)YYZ(AC)MAD(JK)MAH.

Season: June (virtually no availability), September (some availability).

JK E-class Trans-Atlantic codeshare on AC should post as AC K. YMMV.

You can book the YYZ/YYC segs with an AC code out of the A bucket for a $36 USD fuel charge per segment, gaining more EQM with most programs.

Credit to cmyden on redflagdeals.com. This has apparently hit Facebook, so expect a quick takedown.

Bookable on Orbitz, which has a 24-hour courtesy cancel policy.

Good luck.

Nice.

I booked through Orbitz, but I couldn't see any way to enter my AE number - it only had a space for Spanair's FF number. (I put my AE number in just in case...)

I don't want to call Orbitz on this and alert them to the deal - any advice?

Thanks!

Yes: wait.

and

provided ticket numbers within a few minutes of purchase! Thanks, OP!

Awesome fare.

Down here in the ol' USA, we haven't seen those kinds of fares to Spain since, well, a few months ago.

I hate to sit out this kind of transatlantic fare, but getting to Calgary (and then getting home) is more than a little difficult and expensive.

Enjoy!

WAIT. You can always add your Frequent flyer number at CHECKIN.

Unfortunately, my trip is in September and doesn't qualify for this special either.

Great tip on XP.

I want to back off somewhat from my advice to book the AC code on the domestic segs. Some websites I use show the AC-coded class as K, not A, which puts you no further ahead than booking the JK code.

I was referring to the UA reduced miles promotion. I am fully ticketed on this and bringing another FTer along for the ride.

[aaron1262]

does xpedia have the 24hr leeway policy for cancellations?

Thanks for posting this OP... I can't go but I got a friend in on this who has always been envious when I find these deals for myself.

Didn't read the posts carefully enough that you were referring to.

This unfortunately doesn't fit to my schedule.

In case it helps anyone else, you can enter an AE number if you book with XP instead of Orbitz. (However, don't choose "Aeroplan" as this will give error messages. Instead choose "Air Canada - Aeroplan.")

I've never flown on AC metal using a codeshare from another airline (I usually book directly with AC). Will there be anyway to do advanced seat selection? I assume my certs will be useless, but for this price, I can't complain.

Just have to decide how to get to Calgary...
