Or 150% if you're lucky, as I was last year on this same run out of IAD. Looking into this one now... Great find.

Up to one month stay is allowed, but there needs to be availability (R space) to get a similar price....

The KL fare allows it (+$100 and +French taxes):

2 FREE STOPOVERS PERMITTED ON THE PRICING UNIT - 1 IN EACH DIRECTION IN JNB. AND - 2 STOPOVERS PERMITTED ON THE PRICING UNIT - 1 IN EACH DIRECTION IN PAR AT USD 100.00 EACH.

I saw about $900ai with outbound CDG stopover....

Only reason I asked was for some of the old rumors about mileage crediting issues on OTAs, but I guess since this is partner KLM it shouldn't matter. Anyways, booked for memorial day weekend with a long layover in AMS! Anyone else?

Yes, I noticed the $100.- stopover again, hence my question - it apparently is/was allowed on all fares that I've used before in past years.
However, previously I've never been able to build in a stop-over @ CDG and need one now desperately for a family reunion in May

Similar fares to this are still around. Just booked IAH-DTW-AMS-JNB, CPT-JNB-CDG-IAH for a 1.5 week trip in late may/early June for $824 ai (3.9 cpm) through AF. Class R so earns 100% MQMs with DL. DL/KL equipment on the outbound and SA/AF equipment on the inbound. Great deal and available on multiple days in May and June.

Must be a REALLY GREAT deal if it warranted for you to make your first post

I had been reading the board for awhile and figured I had to share. Hopefully others can take advantage of the deal as well!
