DO NOT CALL THE AIRLINES UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE WHILE A DEAL IS STILL ACTIVE.

Fare is gone: You can safely add your frequent flyer number, get seat assignments and poke about in your itinerary.

Checking Your Tickets

Check Alitalia status: https://mm.alitalia.com/us_en/BOOKING/Apvsearch.aspx
(middle names should be included with the first name without a space IN CAPITAL LETTERS. For example, First Middle O'Last becomes "FIRST MIDDLE" "O LAST"):

Check KLM/AF status: http://www.airfrance.us/cgi-bin/AF/U...rRbkAction.do?
(may also work to change/select seats. A name like O'Last becomes "Olast")

Check Ticket Details: http://www.saudiairlines.com/portal/...rlines/Welcome
Double Check: http://www.checkmytrip.com

Will this ticket be honored?

Based on the history of these deals and the US Department of Transportation rules you should be fine if you have a ticket number.

If your JFK-MXP flight shows as cancelled on the KLM website and the Alitalia website gives an error, don't worry about it. That having been said, there are several people about to do this, and if you're one of them please share you experience on this leg (if you cannot edit the wiki, PM WhIteSidE).

Wanna know your booking class?
Go to Delta.com:

Home > My Delta > My Trips > Trip Details > VIEW RECEIPT

Will I earn miles?

If you are in this for miles be aware that you may not earn miles.
  1. Delta: Booked on carrier websites: Yes. Despite earlier concerns, it appears that these fares will earn, miles on DL even if booked via priceline, as reported by cataclysmicvoid.
    1.1. For 006 ticket with flight operated by AZ probably not. See this post. Please report back your experience.
  2. Alaska: No on AZ segments. No on most AF/KL segments because of the fare code. No on DL segments if not booked on 006 stock. No on DL if booked into O class. Yes on DL segments if you have a 006 ticket stock.
  3. KLM: Yes (will be at 50% or 25% depending on the exact fare booked)
  4. Air France: Yes (will be at 50% or 25% depending on the exact fare booked)
  5. Alitalia: Yes (will be at 50% depending on the exact fare booked)

More generally, these very cheap fares will typically not earn full miles. In some ways, AZ may be a good program to earn to as it appears many of the AF and KL flights that would earn 25% into their programs will earn 50% into AZ. It seems that most people departing from JFK are booked in O class which may not have much earning. Some people departing from LAX have V or other classes which do have earning benefits. The most earning will probably occur on an 057 (AF) or 074 (KL) ticketed and operated flight, credited to AS, if and only if the fare class is one of those listed as eligible on the Alaska earning website.

Dates for the 2015?
I can't seem to price out 2015 for less than ~400$ anymore... only 2014.

JFK-MXP-PRG-CDG-BKK still works for $159 if anyone wants it. everything else shoots up the price to $400 or so
JFK-MXP on Nov 18 & PRG-BKK on Nov 28 lowest = $320. I can't find any lower than $320.

Warning for those that booked the great deal with Alitalia

Just a warning about these Alitalia fares to Europe and Asia. What happens if they stop flying? which could happen. Do your due diligence as this Airline is almost Bankrupt. Not saying it will happen but a heads up.

Day 2 of this fare "sale".

Has anyone had their reservations cancelled yet ? Anyone "lawyering up" yet ?



Pretty nice deal though !

If you stop seeing the AZ flights on PL, just close your browser, open it and search again. It looks like after several searches on PL, the AZ flights disappear.

Sorry for this newb question, I am little confused with all this talk about 06 Delta stock, 057 etc. My ticket begins with 0067. Is that what you guys are talking about? I don't have a 06 or the 057.

Are you guys referring to the ticket number in the priceline confirmation? That's where I'm looking... or maybe I'm looking in the wrong place? Thanks.

I am on AZ 0605 JFK to MXP; then KLM BUD to NRT.

flight to bkk from lax

anyone see a way of getting to BKK from LAX next year, march 20 or later? I spent hours last night and today searching, and haven't found anything I'm pretty new at this so don't know if I'm doing something wrong! Was looking on priceline and "big o". Thanks
