DL: PHX-ZRH $925 RT all-in only in March

Hi All,

I just bought a ticket last 2 weeks ago. I found a real cheap fare is $925 RT all-in. It wasn't too bad for me at all. Because in the summer time is getting more extremely expensive. So now, I found a cheap fare in March and I will take advantage of next trip.

Not a bad fare, but not an MR.
The fare is an MPM fare which allows mileage up to 6898 miles and the flight must be a transatlantic.
925
________ = 6.70 CPM
(6898*2)

Actually, it will stop in ATL to change a flight.

I know, but that is still under MPM (max permitted mileage) which applies for the fare that you bought that appears to be a T or U fare from DL.
(In reality all of DL's TATL fares are mileage based though some allow a higher mileage allowance.)

United and JetBlue PHX <-> SRQ $150 ow, $157 ow, and $170 ow, $194 ow are available. Those are really good fares because I book this trip 5 times a year, and I have to do crazy routings like PHX-LAX-SRQ-LAX-PHX just to get it down to the $450 RT range. Also, I find this route best to book as two one-ways rather than a round trip. When I try to book as round trip, there seems to be extra taxes or the searches pull higher round trip booking codes, and I rarely find anything less than $520.

EK:SFO-DXB-ADL, $1283 ai rt 4.3 cpm

looking for a cost effective way to get to oz. this doesn't work for me because i gave up accumulating ek miles, but might be decent fare for others, more for service & comfort than for miles. if you can upgrade, it's super-long value via DXB aircraft showers worth at least once a lifetime

UA: DEN-PHX 92 r/t ai...works out to about 7cpm. Not by any means a MR, but a good fare between the two cities, and works well to position for the many MR opportunities popping up routinely out of PHX.

EK:SFO-DXB-BNE-AKL, $1253, 3.7 cpm

Further than the SFO-ADL deal, and cheaper! I'm tempted, for Hobbit country.
Also works ex-DEN, $1367.

Is this the cheapest folks are finding fares to mainland Europe from West USA in winter? This seems more like a cheap summer fare rather than a cheap winter fare from years past.

Even with my high tolerance, that is a frighteningly long time to spend in 10 abreast economy seating .

Is there any way to credit EK EQM to an airline other than EK?
