I quote my previous response to a VERY similar thread you opened a while back:
Similarly, this promo is only valid ex-US. N.B.: the T&C don't list flight date requirements, so this is ostensibly valid until EoS.
Peace.
So now you've opened a third thread about openskies promos in the last month:
These aren't exactly MRs and should likely be posted somewhere else (maybe BAEC or the Other European FFPs fora). We'll see what the mods say.
Finally, it should be noted that these two promotions can only be used ex-IAD.
- DC to Paris, ~$1200 all-in business class (this thread; 4 May)
- 20% Off - OpenSkies Duo Offer IAD-ORY (22 Apr)
- OpenSkies - $500 Off IAD-ORY in May (8 Apr)
These aren't exactly MRs and should likely be posted somewhere else (maybe BAEC or the Other European FFPs fora). We'll see what the mods say.
Finally, it should be noted that these two promotions can only be used ex-IAD.

Personally, I'm appreciative of the OP flagging this. Difference here is that it's available from NYC, which is great for me. And I wouldn't have caught this otherwise. A $1400 biz (even though it's the "seat") fare across the Pond over the summer, booked in the summer, is great. If it's a debate over *where* this belongs... well, before I get OT, I'll just say thanks!

Perhaps there is a place for another (sub)forum on the site that would be dedicated to such announcements, though I am not in the place to make that happen.
Peace.

Edited: I thought I saw DL matching this, but I now can't reproduce what I thought I had found.
If it were to be matched, I wonder could this be paired up with the RDU/STL/PIT/BNA promos for 50K bonus SkyMiles and double MQMs?
I also find subforums to be annoying. I'd prefer to see subtopics identified by thread title. For example, this thread could be titled something like this...
BIZ Low: $980+ RT NYC/WAS-PAR Summer Sale
Just stuffing them all immediately into a single thread doesn't do much good for a lot of FTers, IMO.

You might be right about the Premium Good Deals thread, but IMHO that's where this belongs. Just because that thread's unwieldy is not a good reason to post non-MR fares in the MR forum. At least if you post it here, give us the CPM calculation!

I disagree
The key with the premium thread is to just read the most recent ones. You dont have to wade trough 700 posts. Nearly all the old ones are expired. The other thing you can do is "subscribe" to that thread. Then, any premium fare that anybody posts will send an alert to you. You can see those fares immediately.

Another vote for just keeping this fare (and similar ones) here . That 700+ post thread is a major pain - makes it very easy to overlook good fares .
