Most definitely.

I had the perfect storm of testability for this. A need to go, somewhat flexible timing, and fallback options in case things went bad at the last minute.

I need to run to Vancouver BC for a Nexus interview on a Sunday in March. I'd planned to go up on Friday. I'm in PDX, so I have options of bus, Amtrak, fly, or drive. Even if I have a ticket implode when I get to the airport, I could drive or bus and still make it with time to spare. Worst case, I'd have to dispute a relatively small CC charge.

airfast was quoting 125-145 round trip PDX YVR, nonstop or 1 stop, AC, AS, or a mix of the two. These prices are approximately 40% of ITA quotes, less than base fare alone.

The first few times I got "cancelled due to non-payment". I suspect this is because their booking site doesn't play well with Safari. Seems to not e passing on the CC exp. date, but also not throwing an error.

The last few tries I got an almost truthful error message - "the itinerary you've chosen is no longer available". I would believe "no longer available and never existed".

I eventually ended up going with plan B. Amtrak w/ a reserved spot for bicycle walk-on. Time to read on the way up, then I'll spend Saturday exploring.

Appears to be a promo..... "All International Flights". Great deal if you don't mind the LCC model. Fees are $6-34 for a seat, and $16 for a 15kg bag. And $11 for a meal if you don't bring your own food.
So maybe the a/i is closer to $75 for any of the flights, which is still a great deal.

AA: LGA-HKG for this weekend $745 a/i
 
Leaving on 01.31, returning 02.02

19023 miles, $745 available just about everywhere. Not great, but you book 5 of these and you got EXP. Not too bad either...

Same vein I am seeing JFK-NRT-CGK and return on JAL for 801USD 3.86CPM but with JALs earning on AA it wouldn't net much I would imagine.

I am not finding this on ITA. Where were you able to book? Lowest I am seeing is $170.

[FARE GONE] DL: MIA-JNB (or MQP=Kruger) $840 March
 
I am asking Mods to delete this post as DL just raised prices across the board on all these flights.

I'm seeing a lot of DL fares in the $835-$850 range out of MIA to ATL and then catch the 777-200ER for the 15 hour nonstop to JNB. For just a few $ more you can catch the SALink shuttle out of JNB to Nelspruit (MQP) where you pick up your rental car and make the 45 minute drive into Kruger. Dates throughout March. Ditto for a xfer at JNB to the SALink to Upington (UTN) if you are a bush addict like me and need a fix at the Kgalagadi Park.
