OK friends - new to FT, so please let me know if this post does not belong here but could use some expert advice on this torturing waiting game. Trying to play with ITA with crazy allowable routes, multi stops etc and not sure what to do next...Gold on US & Gold on AA, want to take fam of 4 to Europe in June like everyone else! I refuse to spend 120K miles per and can't locate anything under $1,400 for a decent route. Can go into anywhere LHR/CDG/BRU/AMS/ZRH/FRA.
So far I found..
CLTYYZ 6/10-11 or 12 with xYYZDUB on AC (rouge) xDUBLHR
return
ZRHYYZ xYYZCLT 6/27
for $975 - Because it's AC (and US/AA no longer OneWorld) my status has no value, so back of bus, no priority board, lugg fees etc.

Since it's still Feb - when are the carriers going to start 'fighting' a bit so I don't have to drop 1/2 my budget on a ride over the pond?

They won't - if you see a price that's doable to you, go for it.
These days, $975 to Europe in June is pretty good.

If you don't already monitor it, watch the Mileage Run Deals forum. That is where a lot of amazing fares (that don't have to be used just for MR) are first discussed. Otherwise, $975 sounds pretty reasonable for June.

Thanks! AC rouge is only for 6.5 hours, so prob worth the suffering. Brand new 787 on the ZRH-YYZ so will look forward to that 😀 thanks

I've been watching prices since October and got lucky last Thurs on cheapoair: $707 PHX to CDG.

Wow that is insanely good? What month? Was it hit miss or were you tipped off by a MR post or something?
