If you have e-ticket numbers and you transit through Canada your ticket and price is 100% safe.
If you have e-ticket numbers and you start, stop or have a 24 hour plus layover in the US. I would say your ticket and price is 99% safe. As with other errors you should attempt to maximize the risk/reward. If you can get your hotels stay for $100-$150 total non-refundable that sounds like an okay gamble instade of paying $300/night after all the hotels are booked up. |

Your damn the torpedos, full speed ahead attitude should be admired though. ;) I'm 95% confident that those with an ETKT will fly and said so late Saturday night. Wandering Aramean said he was 99.99% confident over the weekend. NOTHING in the airfare industry (or life!) is ever 100% certain. |
To those wanting to book IHG sale rooms...
If you have the option of booking a $300+ hotel room for $50, well, I would probably do it. Think about it -- you're getting a $700+ airfare ticket for $300 and a $300 room for $50. With a compound liklihood of maybe 90% success. That's a game I want to play every damn day of the week! But if your bankroll can't carry you through some occasional losses and uncertainty, frankly, this entire mistake fare game probably isn't for you. |
UA: EWR-Europe from $370 return
What's the link for the IHG flash sale?

Question for more seasoned flyers: I'm flying LGA - YUL, YUL - FRA, FRA - MXP. I only have a 40 minute layover in Frankfurt. Does this seem like enough time?

None of that has anything to do with these, but it does point out that the DOT rules are not set in stone and are open to interpretation. You couldn't pay me to fly UA so I have no skin in the game. Just trying to interject some reality into the "DOT will make them" argument. Good luck. |

If you're still looking for good prices for LGA - MXP, try clearing your cookies or using a different browser. Flights for ~$250 RT still exist.

I'm not saying people didn't fly them. I'm saying that some people routed through the US or even added a flight to the US after YUL in the hopes the DOT rules would protect them. It didn't. DOT ruled you had to stopover and not transit for the rules to apply. And, the flights after YUL didn't count since that was another fare.
