$199 + $120 surcharges - DFW-TYO/OSA UA ~$400 all in - 4Day Min Stay
 
United filed a bunch of $199 fares from DFW to Tokyo and Osaka this afternoon and tonight.

There are 3 fares - one for Saturday travel, one for Friday/Sunday, one for Mon-Thurs. All seem to have the same rules.

Fare Class: TXPRO7/TWPRO7/TSPRO7
Season: 10APR-24MAY
Min Stay: 4 Days
Max Stay: 45 Days
Ticket by: 11APR
Surcharge: $60 Each way

I priced it at $405 on United.com - 18APR - 22APR via SFO outbound and DEN inbound.

wow, what a great fare.

Should fit it good with all those TYO/KIX hotel bookings. I wonder if one would call Travelocity up and advise they are going to take advantage of the aforementioned fare with Travelocity only if they honour the bookings. Yeah right. :eek:

hmm...has anyone seen these on travelocity..I couldn't find them there...or are they gone? They're still there...just not on the travelocity fare list. I found them on ua.com

This is really an incredible fare!

I found DFW-SFO-HNL-KIX-HNL-DEN-DFW for $428 all in, 16,101 miles or 2.66cpm, outbound May 19th, inbound May 24th. Other interesting routing can be found using routexpander and e.

If it wasn't for the 4 day min. stay, this would be fantastic.

ITA and Kayak (on united.com) shows this at $283. I cannot book it for that though.

Anyone able to book it for $283?

e means Expedia. Here are the routing rules:

ROUTING 469 FROM DFW-UA-CHI-
OR FROM DFW-UA-DEN-
VIA UA-SFO-UA-LAX-
OR VIA UA-LAX-UA-SFO-
TO UA-OSA*
OR TO UA-TYO-UA-OSA*
OR TO UA-HNL-UA-KOA/LIH/OGG/ITO-UA-
HNL-UA-OSA*

Route Expander is from fare metrics:
http://www.faremetrics.com/rexplode.html

After doing more research, I was even able to book a DFW-LAX-SFO-HNL-KIX-HNL-LAX-SFO-DFW for $430.11 all in on united.com, outbound May 19th, inbound May 24. That's 16,560 EQM miles, for 2.55 cpm, on an international itinerary.

I don't think you'll be able to book more than 4 segments, but good luck!

I wonder why it comes up as 283$ on Kayak?
