I picked up a couple of SAN->MSP->LGW tix for late november a few hours back so my parents could visit. Or, to be more correct, I woke them up at 2.30am so they could do it. They were quite pleased at $205pp.
Ticketed already. Thank you flyertalk.
I tried my best to route on KL metal accross the atlantic SAN->LAX->AMS->LHR/LCY could all be done on NW codeshares on mostly on KL metal [SAN->LAX was on AA], but from what I could tell using KL transatlantic was outside the fare rules. The fare worked if booked using KL flight # on NW metal going across the pond, but not the other way around.
Its just so unfair. I am looking at £550+ to go LON->SAN for christmas/years...
