Various dates.

Hoping DL matches
Yes, good MR assuming: UA, ATL-DEN is RT= 2398 base miles, 4796 with elite bonus (100%) =
.036pm

Various dates in what months/year? Was this RT? Where did you find it? What search parameters did you use? I ask because I looked on ITA & no such fare in 2013 months but would love to book!

UA, WAS-TPA (Start at $138)/FLL, (Start at $158) (N) Fare

On United.com. Starts now to Nov., with most avail dates in Sep. Flights via IAH give 3,990(DCA-TPA) & 4,346 (FLL) PQM/RT, but connects obviously raise cost to around $160 for TPA, $180 for FLL .
Good for leisurely trip or even miles for some.

Delta, United and Turkish are the cheapest of those (at least for the times I've seen).

i don't know much about the minimum stays required or anything, but I do see than you can do it over Thanksgiving, for example, so that would make a nice trip.

It's hovering right around that magic 5c/mile mark (at least for the Delta routing), so I posted it here instead of in the main MR forum.

Enjoy.
I have a UA fare with one TATL AC segment (and I think the outbound was an AC fare) picked up back in late March, so these have been floating around on and off for a while. Still good to know they're around.
Also: Similar pricing (700ish) UA has been running a lot to the middle east the last few months (DXB, DOH, KWI, and BAH)

It may be a good deal though given the time.
Which of the 100s of fares being discussed are you referring to?

These two fares won't be available until 7/15, but in case you want to plan ahead:

SATA is going to have two deals from Boston to the Azores (BOS-PDL), and from Boston to Lisbon (BOS-LIS).

Flights to the Azores in November are going to be from $499, and flights to Lisbon in February are going to be just $599.

Happy 4th of July! :-)

Just those months? Or any other months planned? Muito obrigado for the heads up!

Please be nice. Vague post like that are usually the result of replies in a previously separate thread merged into this one. Even if the old post was clearly referring to only one fare discussed in the old thread, the post order gets interwoven with posts from this thread after merging. Hence the confusion.

Still, a post should reference the relevant fare in some way, if only because other posts may occur while you're typing your reply.

Agree.

In addition (and this has been mentioned before) people using FT app will not see a title of the post so please put all relevant info in the body of your post. Thanks.

OW: TATL r/t for less than $400 !!

Okay, I really do realize not even an FTer would go to JER for cheap miles, but just humor me for a sec... it's been fun to see how low a TATL fare can go.

(This fare could be a remnant of those cheap self-dumping AY US-Euro fares, posted earlier this week.)

Sample dates: 07NOV - 11NOV.
JER-LGW // LHR-JFK-LHR, £263.43, or $397 at today's rate. On aa.co.uk (it's a few bucks more on aa.com); BA/AY/IB segments, all-BA metal.

Yes, IB "O" fares do not earn full EQM, but still... sub-$400 ain't nuthin' to sneeze at.

Oh, you'd be surprised

(The handful of FTers outside the US includes some in the UK, and even the odd one in the Channel Islands)

It's a nice fare, but you should increase the cost by 10% (£26), and a considerable hassle factor, for the bus transfer between London airports.

The LGW TPA service is an alternative. £75 extra, but it keeps you off the bus, gets you more miles and steers you clear of AY/IB.


The joy of Jersey departures is that there's no UK tax (APD) on the ticket.

For UK-based SkyTeam flyers, Alitalia is doing a promo through Monday offering 15% off on all flights (excluding France and the Netherlands). Details and code here: http://www.alitalia.com/gb_en/

The discount is only good for AZ (inc. AirONE) operated flights, so you can't use them on KL or AF.
