Can anyone confirm when this great fare expires? I am hastily putting together an itinerary to book today but if it's until Jun 24th, I can plan better.

You can never count on that. Sometimes they pull it sooner, sometimes availability is gone.

I pulled the same flight and I think Delta just changed the fare rules on us? Definitely said 10JUN before.

UA: NYC/BOS-DXB $773 a.i. 4.9cpm
Departure from: LGA, EWR, JFK, BOS
Destination: Dubai (DXB)
Stops: IAD, KWI
Airline: United Airlines
Dates: multiple weekend dates in Nov. '14 and Jan. '15
Total miles flown: 15,564 miles
Fare class: K
Fare: $774 ($299 plus taxes/fees.)
Cost per mile flown: $0.049
Requires routing through KWI on either outbound or inbound segments. KWI-DXB and DXB-KWI are on FlyDubai, though ticket says UA metal.
If you skip KWI and take the non-stop IAD-DXB both ways, price jumps to $885, though this routing is harder to find.
Try NYC-KWI with stop in DXB for additional mid-week options in Nov.
Available on United.com (couldn't replicate on ITA Matrix, probably due to the FlyDubai codeshare piece)

Silly question but can you leave the airport on your return leg as you go to these other cities?

SS1, it's possible they just extended the sales period. But I took the advice last night and booked it YYZ-NRT for C$790. Lots of miles but I think V fare only earns 25% (no status with sky team) so that would be a measly 3750 miles (approx). Still, it's a great price to see Tokyo!
