Nice! It is strange though... the Q fare (full EQMs on delta) is cheaper than the L (no EQM) fare...

izzik

I think it's a "zero" fare with $170 being the fuel surcharge.. the rest being taxes.

Mr. Roboto

I just found the following (on www.airfrance.us):

AF0007Q - Nov 22nd JFK-CDG
AF1504L - Nov 23rd CDG-FCO
AF1205L - Nov 26th FCO-CDG
AF0010Q - Nov 26th CDG-JFK

Fare Basis: QLXNRUS0 (internal EUR flights booked in L class)
ALL-IN: US$ 279.03

gosha83

I wish that the Delta codeshare for that flight would be of a similar price. It's currently $678.82 a/i. I doubt that it'll change.

af fp

It clearly is a mistake, snatch the tickets before they correct it if you are interested.

I am with Flying Blue and I have little time to go to Rome for 50% of the miles. Other SkyTeam members may like it better!

upgrader

I'm getting the $200+ fares as one-way, not RT. What am I doing wrong?

hw711

$279.03/8634 miles = 3.23cpm

psyflyer

this smells like a mistake fare to me.

gosh i wish i could pounce but got way to much traveling ahead of me in the coming months.

Q fare on AF translates to what on DL?
