DIsturbing to me
Back to trying and find a way to determine if my return flight on DL is available. I go to Delta.Com and plug in the return as the start and a bogus return date.
Of course, the date I want has only the double miles available. What I could not believe the taxes/fees were almost $400. Currently I am in business class all the way (ORD-FCO-IST.. ATH-PRG... ATH-AMS-MEM-ORD) and my taxes for this entire trip was around $120.
I know I've been reading about the rip-off that Delta is but $400 for an award when last year we could buy tickets for $400 (OK Sometimes).
I did originate the itinerary in Europe, if that matters.
NOT AS BAD AS I THOUGHT.
I changed the routing to go US first and Europe home. It did go down to around $150.
