Delta International Business Class Specials

Hi:
Once in a while, I come across with really well discounted USA-EUROPE tickets in Business class. I bought it also, BOS-VIE for $2100 (while Economy was $1500). Recently somebody here said that PHX-PRG was on sale and when I checked, it was for any day for the whole quarter in 2015 for roughly the price above. That is a round trip ticket, when normally that itinerary would be around $3.500-4.500.

My question is HOW DO YOU FIND these special deals? Sometimes I would not mind flying from a different city than I had planned, if it were for this price in Business. Thanks.

Try Google Flights. Set the class (in the upper right) to Business.

Hey dude! That was me who found that deal. There is a Trancefusion party I go to every April in Prague so I literally check the Matrix every day for deals. I just wasn't quite ready to buy as I am not sure who I am taking this year. But I ALWAYS post deals I find. I am the one who found the UA US-EUROPE $1400 B-Class fares earlier this year.



Nothing like a good rave in Prague!!! ^^

Business Class Specials on New York to CDG on Delta

Hi . . . will business class seats go on sale (for flying in late June) anytime between now and then? Or should I just assume current fares, which are almost $7000 for the nonstops roundtrip won't move? Thanks for your ideas!

D1 Fares could go down, but you're looking for a trip during the highest demand part of the year. Not a huge incentive for DL (or anyone) to offer much of a discount.

Yep! This ^^

Some people check their Facebook every morning.

I check the MR forum a couple times a day and have always gotten in on those Sub $2k to Europe in J.

Have a couple trips booked for this summer to Ibiza, London, and Stockholm in J! $1600 each!

Through YYZ I would imagine? I took advantage of a great YYZ - PVG J fare, $2200.00 through DTW. If the credit card wasn't tapped out, I'd book a few YYZ-Europe as well...

No, my flights this year that I booked for $1600 in J to EU are on BA.

I'm switching to AA for 2016.

Not Delta1, but I got a $1,256.00 RT DCA-ATL-LHR (TATL in PE on VS), and return DUB-CDG-JFK-DCA (TATL in PV on an AF A380). The fare code is W for the international flights, and a full Y for the domestic flights.

While I would accept an op-up, I'm actually looking forward to riding in the premium economy cabins and writing about my experiences in them.

I was able to price out MXP-JFK on AZ one way in PE, the other in J for $1500. 12 month stay allowed. Should earn 20k RDM as a DM.

Know the the TATL W part on AF is eligible for miles upgrade, subject to O availability. Create an EF alert for O. Worth it IMO.

priced from AZ website? I did a AF version of this for labor day. Priced it on AF and called DL to ticket it. It was a bit more money but still got J to CDG (red eye) and W back (daytime) (from ORD).

Yes, I was thinking to buy it from AZ instead because (unlike AF/KL) they ticket on their own stock, meaning more RDM...
