FlyerTalk Forums Expert How-Tos and Guides
Last edit by: Sykes
  • 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!

AC: YUL-ANC $2061 a/i

many dates available in may, the seasonal flights to Anchorage start up again on the 17th of May.

For example, May 20th-May23rd in J (Z fare) comes out to $2061

you can even leave YUL on the 6am rapidair and take AC-1169 (767 service) to YVR.

Just booked this far, happy with the price.

On ITA there is an I class showing on PK's ORD-BCN-ORD as business class for ~$868 (e.g. 7/20-7/31). I haven't seen a place to book this or verify that I is actually business class on PK, though...

On PK website it has availability on Wed./Sat. $1358 ai for business class. Looks like an okay deal, but where can these PK miles be banked to?

I see dates throughout June and July but didn't check any others.

Also, ORD - BCN as low as $2200.


(yes this is my first post - but Ive been around forever. I just finally have something useful to add)
