- 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!

This and the UA fare YVR-BOM are matching the AF sale which apparently ends 28 Feb ie today. 14 day advance purchase required. *A is matching fares Canada to CDG as well as various destinations in Asia and Africa.

JFK/PHL/MIA/LAX- GIG on US/AA for ~$2,000 AI
Some pretty nice fares on US and American to Rio de Janeiro- $2,000ish all in roundtrip ($2,191 from LAX via Charlotte). US flights are on the A330, so lie-flat Envoy sleeper seats.
The only AA route I found was PHL-MIA-GIG for $2,007. There are probably others.
Great availability on ITA all year- even over the Christmas/New Years holiday. Doesn't appear to be a minimum stay, so quick turns permitted.
Posted screenshots on my site. Comes to .12ish CPM or less if you can stretch routing.

On AA and US, fare is to GRU as well.
Also, going to GIG, you can fly the DFW-GRU in the 773 with new seats and SWU upgrade to F. Connection from GRU to GIG is on JJ Y-class.

Anyway, I was able to book two DFW-MAD/CDG-DFW open jaws, in "A" and "S," for $2028 a.i. and both TATL flights with full flats.
