SEA-JFK $185 R/T on Delta
 
This is quite the price... SEA-JFK 185$ all in Delta metal, I found it 10/18 Departure, 10/20 Return.

Wow.

Abundant options into middle of November.

Did it bring down the I/Z fares?

Fantastic deal! Thanks very much OP. Just filled up my Canadian Thanksgiving weekend.

GH83 Aug 20, 2013 12:15 pm

Lots of Fri/Sat and Sat/Sun throughout October and November, but I can't find any same-day turns. Anyone seeing different?

Thanks OP, I'm normally a *A flyer but at that price and wide-open availability it'll let me head back to see family for the weekend ^

wspfan Aug 20, 2013 12:41 pm

must book RT
 
Looks like you have to plug in Roundtrip not one way for fare to show up!!

kyunbit Aug 20, 2013 12:49 pm

the weekend mileage jog fares have disappeared (e.g. going out on Friday night and returning on Sunday night)

jmj8778 Aug 20, 2013 1:01 pm

This also works in reverse, JFK-SEA.

kelvinj Aug 20, 2013 1:51 pm

Thanks OP! This is a great find.

I was able to get an open jaw: JFK-SEA, LAS-JFK. Priced at $285 with the outbound in V. Would have been $185 with the V return from SEA.

If only UA/US matched.

ncurhan Aug 20, 2013 5:47 pm

Was able to price out two of these to fit in the October 25th weekend:

SEA-JFK (1230pm-844pm) Oct 25
JFK-SEA (735am-1039am) Oct 26
SEA-JFK (100pm-909pm) Oct 26
JFK-SEA (735am-1040am) Oct 27

The red eye populated on ITA but was unable to book on Delta :(

flyupfrnt Aug 20, 2013 6:16 pm

Thanks OP - I scored a late October weekend for the Lady and I ...

cfischer Aug 20, 2013 6:21 pm

not really a MR IMO

Minimum stay requirements
WHEN DEPARTURE FROM FARE ORIGIN IS SUN THROUGH FRI THEN
TRAVEL FROM LAST STOPOVER MUST COMMENCE NO EARLIER THAN
THE FIRST SAT AFTER DEPARTURE FROM FARE ORIGIN
OR - WHEN DEPARTURE FROM FARE ORIGIN IS SAT THEN TRAVEL
FROM LAST STOPOVER MUST COMMENCE NO EARLIER THAN THE
FIRST SUN AFTER DEPARTURE FROM FARE ORIGIN.

wp_kid Aug 20, 2013 6:24 pm

Good find OP, thanks! 3.9cpm with possibilities of transcon upgrades to BE... not too shabby!

I would respectfully disagree, if your opinion is mainly based on the minimum stay requirements as you have posted. A zero night stay with red-eye is available on a number of dates Ex-SEA. Nov 2-3 SEA-JFK-SEA would be one weekend example.

eddielam Aug 20, 2013 9:37 pm

Thank you so much!! I just booked one :-)

hoth300 Aug 21, 2013 8:03 am

Was able to book:

Friday
Depart JFK 6:30pm, arrive SEA 9:50pm
Depart SEA 10:45pm, arrive JFK 6:51am (Sat)

Saturday
Depart JFK 7:35am, arrive SEA 10:39am
Depart SEA 1:00pm, arrive JFK 9:09pm

All on one ticket #
$371.60
MQMs: 9,684 (3.8cpm)

Had to search by schedule in order to pull it up. Platinum by MR... At least for one more year.

Both hipmunk.com and google.com/flights will feed the red-eyes to delta.com. Just tried it for Nov 1 ret. Nov 2, and it worked just fine. $185.80 round-trip.

I'm using matrix and can't find that fare anywhere. Is it still there?

I believe not.

The lowest round-trip fare on DL for SEA-NYC is VF10A0WP ($319 before taxes and fees). Checked in EF.

Many thanks to the OP for posting this deal. With some persistence and patience was able to finally get 3 tickets @186 to NYC at the end of September for my family (weekend trip to NYC!). All traveling on the same plane, no connections, and perfect Friday outband and Sunday evening return :). Needed a fourth which I also got for about $10 more, but that one would connect in CVG on the way to NYC (same return as others), so... Will be my first SDS/SDC attempt after the new rules came into effect.

unweird Aug 21, 2013 8:23 pm

Can I claim credit for booking a daytrip into JFK mid-Sep as the catalyst for this special fare? Or can James Turrell, whose exhibition was a glowing light for this DL-enabled moth?
