Having booked five of these flights I thought I would go back for number six.

Error messages on DL.com for every Canadian city I tried

I think this tremendous deal has moved along. But wow!!! What a deal!^

I am shocked to see this survived the night, my YVR-ICN is still pricing the same. This really makes me wonder if it was a mistake.

I found mine via Google Flights with the caveat that I could not get Google shown AS codeshares to actually price on Delta.com, so I did DL metal exclusively.

Jeez, that might actually be more difficult than actually finding a needle in a haystack -- especially since there don't seem to be many "needles" (cheapo flights) available.

BTW, I tried google flights about 5x and did pull up cheap flights, but each one repriced when I selected it.

Delta.com direct is pricing still.

Well, pick a few weekends that you're free, or when you want to take your vacation, and then search. Do Delta.com direct rather than through Google Flights.

It's definitely NOT dead. Just booked YVR-->LAX-->NRT-->HKG-->NRT-->LAX-->YVR for $444 USD (Oct 1-8). I'm based in LAX so I just need a 1way to start in YVR and my return conveniently connects through LAX

Just to be sure; if we cancel in the future we just loose the base fare and get all the taxes and fees back since we didn't take any flights? I recall I did this with a wideroe fare before

Thanks... I booked the same. Next mission: find out how to get to YVR. I might just drive it.

Fare Change
The fare quoted earlier of $484.61 (CAD) has changed. The new fare for this itinerary is $484.81 (CAD). To continue your purchase click Continue. Otherwise click Start Over to return to the Reservations input screen and select different dates and times. After accepting the fare change, you may need to re-select your seats.

Why must every good price be considerred a mistake? Its just a good sale as DL pushes its Asia expansion.

No. It totally depends on the airline. I don't think DL gives back taxes.

.

Thanks for the heads up.

We were planning to head to Hualalai or Punta Mita but this fare might just change that. Still got half a day to decide.
