  • Fare feels too good to be true? Don't call the airline!!!!!!
  • Double check that the fare is actually in Business or First as some online search engines or OTA's confuse booking classes on some airlines.
  • Post as many details as possible about the First / Business fare, including fare class, fare basis, one-way / roundtrip, sales channel, sample dates & total price, including taxes.
  • Post the details within the thread itself and not in the post title field as any information typed here cannot be seen by members accessing the thread using mobile devices.
  • Refrain from posting fare requests or engaging in off topic debates such as fare trends, specific aircraft configuration or visa requirements
  • The deeply discounted international fares discussed here are almost always specific to a certain country of origin, so don't ask if it works in reverse (e.g. a SFO-LHR-SFO fare usually won't work LHR-SFO-LHR). Domestic fares more commonly work in reverse.
  • Last, but not least, Don't call the Airline!

3 day min on the AA fare, 3 Month max for all fares.

DL fare allows free stopovers in HNL both ways.

Any other posibilites to maximize milage on this fare with DL? Routing through HNL from JFK could net 26k MQM's, but would require overnights in HNL and works out to 9cp per MQM.

No date restrictions; however, it must be ticketed by 8FEB12, which usually means that it will be pulled around 5 PM EST tomorrow.

I found a DL K-up fare CMH-SEA, routing through ATL. Not bad at $415 a/i (about 6.1cpm) but as a bonus you can get a ride on a 763 with 1-2-1 flatbed seat on the ATL-SEA segment on many days.

The figure represents base fare only.

Anyone know if it works in reverse, originating at NRT/HND?

Anyone having an issue getting the HNL stop over to price correctly? Delta.com shows the 2.5k fare then when I go to pay for the reservation it jumps to over 4k.

See the K-Up fare. See the 767...don't see amount stated for a r/t. Looks to me like it could be o/w (cheapest I see r/t is $820), but at half the total miles, the cpm is pretty close to 16 which is crappy even for a premium cabin MR. Nothing about this trip makes much sense at all. Be nice if OP dropped back by to clarify.
