Well I'm in. I was able to get BA iah-lhr/lhr-del on LH del-lhr on Swiss/lhr-iah on BA. I figure I'll credit to my BA account for the transatlantic....I wasn't able to get the Star segments to India while routing through YYZ....so no crediting to AA but I'm not a AA elite or anything so it's not like I'm loosing an elite bonus there.

I will be there for several days. I have no idea what I'll do when I get there... but we're a long way from that....and it is refundable. Right now we're in the 'will they honor the sale' phase.

Looks like the fare is gone on Orbitz also (I tried SEA-BOM). Took a shower to give some thoughts about dates and now it's gone.

Hope this will go through for all of you that are in on this.

Still available New York to Bombay for November in Orbitz, don't give up

Never mind, now when you click through you get this

We're sorry, due to changes in availability, we're unable to confirm your selection with the airline. Please make another selection

Correct. Maybe it's just me...but I'm not ponying up 25K each way iah-lhr to go to WT+

From BA.com

"You can upgrade an existing booking with your BA Miles.

To calculate how many BA Miles are needed to upgrade your flight to a specific cabin:

1. Check the base mileage required on the BA Miles redemption table.

* BA Miles redemption table

2. Multiply the number of BA Miles by the correct base multiplier rate for World Traveller Plus, Club Europe, Club World or First from the table below.


Upgrade Multiple of base mileage
World Traveller to World Traveller Plus x0.5
Euro Traveller to Club Europe x1
World Traveller Plus to Club World x0.5
Club Europe/Club World to First x1"

Stupid question but I was able to book two tix from ATL in 'B' class. What will that yield me? I have some AA miles. Should I search for something better?
