Where did you get 110€?!

I've flown on cheap tix and never got them canceled. I never pointed their attention to it either... if you got the ticket number and it pops up as confirmed e.g. on checkmytrip.com go ahead and do your booking.

Thanks for the info. I booked return for 220 euro, so that makes 110 one way.

To or from NYC?

Has anyone figured out a way to do this out of NYC or another US gateway?

I am very interested. Thanks!

NO. TATL fares don't work that way. Although there were some cheap-enough opportunities to ARN e.g.

book hotels etc. now. If they decide to cancel they have to refund you any non-refundable bookings per new DOT rules. $80+ is not an unusual base fare TATL, just the time of the year and the very low YQ are unusual. Don't think this qualifies as an error fare.

I'm not finding it quite as cheap, but still pretty good at £238.

Nope 238 EUR or around £167 return. It is very, very good and includes the 787 and 747-400.

I'm also flying to australia with qatar airways this years for around £400 return via dublin and returning back to manchester.

QR doesn't fly to Dublin. Who operates your first flight and where do you take your first QR flight from?

Can you initiate this itinerary from NYC?

If you book the whole trip and you board in Luxembourg but try to catch the plane in NYC...will the airline let you in or not boarding in Luxembourg voids the ticket? Could be a silly question but I am a newbie on this ;o)

That might be why you never get your ticket cancelled, as opposed to other morons who try and make changes on similar fuel dumped/mispriced itineraries.
(then again, this one doesn't seem to have any 3x/1x segments that would cause an agent to question the validity of the fare.)

You must fly all segments in sequence.

I'm aware of that, BA to LHR then qatar to doha, doha to perth then back to doha and back to manchester on qatar airways. The BA segment is included in the £400 return fare.

My segments are as follows: Luxemburg> LHR >Montreal then on return Chicago > JFK > LHR >Berlin

Could I notify the check in agents at Chicago O hare to drop my baggage off in LHR because I may not want to continue to berlin?

Or will I be forced to fly ALL segments entry to exit?

How would it raise suspicion because I am sure they will be unaware of how much I paid for the my flights? I booked directly on BA's website too
