LGW (via Madrid) to JFK or MIA from €226 (Miami) or €235 (JFK). Best availability in October/November. Note that after you select the dates, the prices seem to drop further.

(See example dates above)

I can't use this, so can't see what fare code these book in - but it's a great fare and presumably will earn miles in Flying Blue (if not other ST programs). Though a separate thread says it books in P which apparently doesn't earn anywhere...

Am I doing something wrong, or can you not go to LGW from JFK? When I set that as my departure airport, very limited options pop up for destination...

UA/CO: ORD-FLL $129ai (Example July 14-16)
Different dates/routings for a little more (+$9). No same day turns. Several dates available in July (fly by Aug 1) depending on stay and connections ........Seems to be a match to NK.

Are you saying you can do a YQ (Fuel) dump on this?

I didn't spent much on that, but I think you can. I was able to cut about $100 of fat on AA and bring it under $600. I think it would be possible to better the fare on those other carriers.

LH PRG-ORD $505 AI. - only on EX

Sample date Oct 21 - Nov 7. Looks like EX is dropping YQ or partial YQ for this fare.
