[PREM FARE GONE] LH/UA F MCO-MAD $3600 RT late February

Haven't checked the dates thoroughly but 744 out of MCO to FRA.

UA F is routing JAX-ORD-MUC-MAD.

Also available in Nov/Dec/Jan using Swiss/Lufthansa from MCO. Very interesting! Thanks!

I cannot replicate this, can you provide some sample dates and the fare basis? I see some SEA-MAD for $4100 on LH (747 no less, didnt realize they were going to fly that on the SEA route). This ex-SEA fare seems available into June.

BTW- LH F is definitely a good deal in the high $3k range. UA F, not really...

Edited to add: ah, never mind, I see, $3812 in Dec.

Sigh, I can't swing for four tickets in F. Unfortunately, the FRA layover's seem very short; 1-2 hours. I'd like to spend as much time possible in the LH F terminal

I am seeing this from STL and IND to either MAD or BCN on combinations of UA/LH/LX metal for ~$3800

UA and UA/LH (as UA codeshare) bookable on UA.com

UA/LH (UA as LH codeshare) bookable on LH.com

UA/LX found on ITA but I cannot find a way to book it on UA/LH/LX or Orbitz. Maybe someone else will have better luck

What on earth prompted you to check Burlington, VT ;-)

I was able to build a fare with LX both ways across the water, via EWR, very nice!

Edited to add: And PHL-MAD in those mid Dec dates is pricing at $2800. You can get routings thru MIA or JFK to "reposition" on your return. CLT-MAD is $3k. All respectable pricing for LH or LX F.

Wow, thanks everyone who has reported this fare and the various options. OCT and I just snagged a pair for May/June for less than we have seen Z fares run in the last couple of years.
