I can't find this deal anymore on ITA? Has anyone else found it today?
I put in IAD-CPT using C
L+ on each and it's about $1200 at the cheapest. Using 0-1 night stays. I also tried JFK-CPT and couldn't get anything close to the ~$710.
Of course I'm not well versed in using matrix ita so maybe its still out there and I can't find it but I thought I was doing it correctly.
Also, I notice Delta.dumb is having some issues when I try and book another flight through that so maybe that's causing it to not find the cheaper flights. Just a thought.

I got it to work now. I guess I have to specify X:AMS for the routing code. I figured C:DL+ would work since that should encompass X:AMS but I must not understand it fully.

Also, ITA says it books into R class. I'm guessing since that's deep discount economy there's no chance to UG with Miles or $?

See this table: http://www.klm.com/travel/aw_en/plan...s/index.htm#p3
But according to Delta's website, Fare class R on KLM is eligible for 100%.

I think this is because R fare's only count for 25% if you are crediting them to KLM.

This was bookable at www.orbitz.com.
I couldn't even book it at klm.com
The fare is still available but for limited dates of travel.
The R class fare on KLM is eligible for 100% EQMs & RDMs on Delta's skymiles.

This has been endlessly discussed since early November, when this fare was posted in the two separate threads - of which the first one was started here
