Yes they did. It’s when was official that all >0,01€ tickets wouldn’t have been cancelled.

The best thing could happen is to let this thread fade into oblivion (and I don’t even have bookings).

In my experience the best ‘special sales’ are those that fly under the radar, not necessarily the sale of the decade or on the best airline etc.

A couple of years ago there was an excellent Lufthansa mistake ex SOF in full J to JNB. Exactly what I needed to requalify TK E. Routing involved also a couple of intra-Euro segments each way, earning a sweet 1k miles each.

That thread barely reached a few pages and the beauty German queen wasn’t disturbed in her sleep.

Don’t count on official declarations, don’t ask for it in any way and perhaps the Italian tax-payers spendthrift will behave.
