I tried booking WAS-SJU and it starts with the $225 price but after I go trhu everything and click purchase, the fare changes to $490. Is there any way around that?

Delta.com has been consistently showing one price then changing when putting CC info. Has happened to me 3 times this week when purchasing fares...I currently have 8 itineraries, so almost 50% of the time this is happening.

Travelocity works and confirms instantly!

This is also available on AA going BDL-MIA-SJU -- not quite as good routing rules. The fare is $229ai making a cpm of about 5.0.

Available all of Sept. with various stays required.

I booked DCA-MSP-ATL-SJU-ATL-MSP-IAD for $300, not bad at around 4.5 CPM! It will be my first mileage run, thanks OP!

As an FYI, I had no issue pricing the multisegment options I've found on O, on DL.com. Just piece it together. Should price at 225. Useful if applying vouchers.
