UA: DFW-BRU/LUX, $738: May travel!
Spoiler Alert: This ain't MR material, not by a long-shot, but I didn't want to bury such a great springtime vacation deal in the good-deals thread. So, feel free to flame away.
Fare KKXNC9S
Sample dates for DFW-BRU: 12MAY - 22MAY, $738, on UA metal
About $5 additional will get you to LUX, but you might get segments on other Star carriers that won't provide full UA mileage accrual.
