high $500's to low $700's in june, unfortunately.
and even worse, Google Flights is not our friend here. have to pick dates on OTA or skyscanner to get the best prices

Google flights is showing:

but skyscanner with dates (not calendar search)


So it's kind of a pain the find these..

oh.. i should mention that AC/UA/LH/LX/OS matched on some routes

Recently booked an MU flight, I don't really have a problem with them or anything, I wish they departed YVR a little later so I could still work the night before but what can you do. My bigger issue is I wish more Star Alliance ones were available...the skyteam miles don't really appeal to me, and with star I'd get my lounge access and whatnot.

I guess I should've clarified, star alliance ex-YVR. Can't win em all, still might book another one for MU, the prices aren't insane for MU, they go on sale from YVR lots same with CZ. CA does from time to time, but it's usually non-mileage earning fares or flash sales that don't really exist.

I've got no problem flying CA at all, I was pretty happy with my economy 77W experience, but the business class was pretty lame.

Good work on the posts btw.

Thanks

You're right about CZ & YVR though.
Here's a neat one, good deal to Shandong area.
Also check CAN/DLC/NKG, as they're fairly close behind TAO in terms of *A Pricing.

IAD on DL or Delta partners? Higher then coach...Comfort/Premium ....back surgery

Hi...for some reason, don’t know if it’s my computer or my knowledge....I can’t find the great fares. I’m looking for DL or any partners with high returns on MQMs please. Need 50+

I’m looking for a quick turnaround as well as a little more leg room. Had back surgery, and when I didn’t have it...coach was tough for such long haul flights, so don’t even want to imagine now 🤦🏻.♀️.

Please if someone can help me anytime from now May till August...then after August 11, I can travel from MSP airport as I will be there for a wedding...then back from IAD from mid August till October November.

Any of these flights to get a good deal with great MQMs return. Possible a flight if I pay for premium or business just a few bucks more...that would give me double the MQMs on that one flight VS doing 2 of the same flights in coach to achieve the same same MQMs if that’s possible...and understandable?

Im a delta gold, and trying to achieve platinum or diamond (I know it’s a long shot...but going to try! But for now, I’ve the waiver covered as far as MQDs go.

So please if anyone can can help me on this deal from a flight from IAD...or if not, an airport to fly into and then go from there? If it’s cheaper to buy my Iad ticket to that airport...then book that separately to these destinations?

Thank you, trying to get a hang of this...but really need some help. As even China Eastern Airlines is hard for me to navigate for pricing especially my location IAD.

It is rare for MSP to get included in these as it is a Delta fortress. When they do appear it usually on Star Alliance. I would look at ORD, DEN, or west coast and take a cheap positioning flight.

Very true words. MSP is like a deal island. I'm seeing no deals from there. Unless $700 barcelona is a deal lol
Sorry.

Grab a cheap F9 flight to DEN or MCO

Omg...I thought I was going bonkers by not seeing anything from Msp and can’t find anything from there hardly ever!!!. I’m originally from Msp, and will be there in August for wedding...so thought I can fly out from that location and kill two birds with one stone. 😩

But I’m in IAD now til August, then back here from middle of August till next year! Any help from getting something out of here (IAD)...Anytime? Don’t care if it’s weekend or weekdays, with a quick turnaround if possible? Seem to not be able to pull up this deal from here either 😕Thank you guys!

I'd suggest to hang tight and wait on more winter fares (oct-dec season), they will help you
Right now there's not a whole lot out there..
WAS-NCE/PAR low 600s (meh)
WAS-Central America $300s (meh)
WAS-Bogota low 400s (bleh)
Skyteam is involved in the Scandinavia sale i posted about last night, just prices a little higher on most routes. 4 routes from WAS there
If it were me, I'd wait and be ready to jump on the winter seasonal fares.

Don't take my word for it, but usually summer is the time to see the best winter fares. End of summer, in my recollection, is usually when the best ones hit.
But, be ready to book asap, because the best deals don't last..
