(FARE GONE) IB (OW): MR out of PAR, 15K miles, $435ai, 2.8cpm
Iberia has a fare between Paris and Madrid/Barcelona that appears to allow stopovers anywhere in the Eastern Hemisphere. Sample itinerary:
Nov 30 IB 7670/IB 7624 ORY 7:35AM DXB 11:35PM 13h 0m via LHR
Dec 1 IB 7629/IB 7443 DXB 2:35AM MAD 10:50AM 11h 15m via LHR
Dec 2 IB 3160/IB 7624 MAD 9:10AM DXB 11:35PM 11h 25m via LHR
Dec 3 IB 7573/IB 7507 DXB 10:05AM ORY 6:40PM 11h 35m via LHR
I don't quite understand all of the restrictions on the fare, but it appear that:
- You have to leave Paris on the 30th and arrive at your first stopover that same day.
- Your return leg needs to be on Dec 1st or later.
- Flights must have IB numbers but can be operated by other airlines
As a caveat, I believe that AAdvantage will credit these miles at 80%, as long as the operating carrier is OneWorld, but that's still 3.5cpm.
