AC $75+tax ($500 AI) FRA-YOW rt

Anyone notice the ridiculous fares posted? The above is an itinerary for March 20 returning April 10. Didn't check other direct city pairs.

Even with fuel and taxes the round trip comes to $500!

Plus full status miles on tango plus....

Thanks for posting!^

The best I´m seeing is 412Euros ($535CAD at the moment) on the AC website for various dates, not bad at all...

I´m also seeing various other good fares in the same cpm range:

FRA-YEG starting at 595Euros
FRA-SFO starting at 636Euros

As I believe this deal so good it should be shared I'll move this over from AC forum to MR Deals forum and thank OP for sharing this fare which hopefully many can enjoy. ^

The ex Germany fare is still valid as I found dates in late April, for example
the 27th -30th for CAD551 AI FRA-YOW.

The next few weeks will be extremely hard to find K space as it's Spring Break for elementary students throughout much of Canada so lots of families in motion and virtually no K seats as a result. The fare is valid for outbound section up until 24May12.

Ironic. Earlier this year, I listed YOW-WAW as an MR:

My posting was trash talked as not a good MR!

I guess it wasn't so bad after all!
