(FARE GONE) DL: BOS/MIA/TPA/JAX/MCO-AMS business class $1,360 All summer long
This is even cheaper than their $1,450 LHR business class fares. Looks like the same rules- purchase by March 31, fly by Aug 31, I fare. Tons of availability all summer long- great way to get to Europe basically for the price of coach. Remember I fares earn 50% MQMs and Skymiles.
Delta has a 24 hour risk-free guarantee, so as long as you buy on Delta.com you can cancel with no penalty up until 11:59pm the next day
Can route through a number of hubs, not just BOS/MIA. Screen shots and more details on my blog.
These Delta fares are going to bankrupt me!

A great deal if you HAVE to get to Europe this summer and want a more comfortable trip. It's obviously silly to pay about the same to sit in the back when transatlantic biz class is significantly better.
My dilemma is that I WANT to take my family of 5 to Europe this summer but don't want to pay $6700 in airfare even if we'd be comfortable.
I figure a cheap summer European coach airfare deal might surface eventually. If not, as they say in France, c'est la vie. We can continue to go off-season at the crazy mileage run prices that periodically surface.

BOS-AMS DL Fare (posted by OP) good for Easter weekend and AA is matching very closely (1400) for BOS-AMS.^
No love from Star Partners.

These fares are a steal. I'm seeing $1450 AI for MIA-AMS with TATL on AF. Look for these fares 90 days out though. Wish these were good for O/W travel also since it would be a nice way to save some miles traveling over to Asia.

Great find OP! Based on the new DL awards charts, I am thinking of doing a crazy quasi-round-the-world with this for my honeymoon. First go to AMS on this routing ($1364 RT). Then use miles for AMS-Maldives biz class (only 80k roundtrip for Europe-South Asian Subcontinent! Ride on CZ and route thru CAN). Then train around Europe when we get back to AMS. What what!!!
