I picked up a couple of SAN->MSP->LGW tix for late november a few hours back so my parents could visit. Or, to be more correct, I woke them up at 2.30am so they could do it. They were quite pleased at $205pp. 
Ticketed already. Thank you flyertalk.
I tried my best to route on KL metal accross the atlantic SAN->LAX->AMS->LHR/LCY could all be done on NW codeshares on mostly on KL metal [SAN->LAX was on AA], but from what I could tell using KL transatlantic was outside the fare rules. The fare worked if booked using KL flight # on NW metal going across the pond, but not the other way around.
Its just so unfair. I am looking at 550+ to go LON->SAN for christmas/years...

More importantly, why didn't fare alert physically wake me up?

If you can find a travel agent using the Apollo/Galileo reservation system, this fare is still showing up in this reservation system. Not sure how long it will last though (12.30pm CT).

missed another one of these! Oh well, I am at least consistent.
Wouldn't it be nice to have each NEW thread posted in Mileage Run be sent as an email or SMS to my Treo 600 phone?
There was only one I attempted to go for (it was the India trip with that SIN airline tour operator Asiana ) and all I got for it was a nice letter from them telling me sorry no go...
One of these days I will succeed, persistence is my middle name
Enjoy to all FTers who took advantage of this.

, I'm not seeing these fares and haven't since I came into work 3 hours ago. BTW, just checked ex SEA, SFO, LAX, MSP and DTW to all destinations mentioned in thread title and zippo, zilch, gone.

I am also a TA and just booked MSP-ZRH 1/2 hour ago and I still see the $0 fare + fuel + taxes there. Funny how it apparently is not consistent among Apollo agents.
(edited to add):
My guess is that being Canadian-based you don't see what US-based agents might see. That is my only explanation.

The fare was never $0 it was anywherefrom $95-115 - or was that the fuel??- perhaps you have another GREAT fare there

One inexpensive hotel option ($45-$70 a night US) is Hotel Alfa. It is a soviet business hotel, but pretty nice for one of those. It is right in front of the Metro stop Izmaylovsky Park. It takes maybe 15-20 minutes to get into the old center of town, on the metro. ^

This is similar to the LON-CLE AA fare.

Northwest Airlines Confirmation Number: ******
Itinerary number: *********
Airline ticket number(s): we'll have this information soon -- check back in a few minutes!
I've seen one or two people say they have ticket info, but are the rest of use still in this boat? How long does this generally last? I booked 9.5 hours ago. I've never booked on NWA before, so I'm holding off on arranging lodging until I see a ticket #, or an experienced user says this is normal.
Anyone going to Rome the first week of November? I picked up a ticket, but no one else I know did. I'm looking for people to do walking tours with.
