By adding about $250, you can get this with only a Sat. night stay.

I'm honestly not exactly sure how the rules are evaluated, but I assume the sales will end according to local time in the departure city. Is this correct?

Which would mean we'll experience waves of deal expirations on the hour as the calendar in each time zone rolls over to Aug 8th.

I think its actually the 'local time' where the online service resides (e.g., one based in London would already be dead, whereas one in Seattle has 8 more hours)?

Yes it is. The fares could be refiled and the sales extended, but you shouldn't count on that.

KLM holds on these fares expire tonight @ 2am EST. Perhaps that's when all of these fares will expire?

I just confirmed that YHZ just disappeared, and YYZ is still alive, so the rules apply to the time at the point of departure.

Hurry, just a couple of more hours left best case!

I did succeed in finding one to MUC... from Brunswick, GA of all places! Same fare unavailable from BHM, ATL, CHS, SAV, JAX.

Bought it and discussing with mom and aunt. Congrats to everyone who got in on this.

I bought one with a return to AGS, so I could theoretically drop that leg. And unlike some other destinations, there's no way to be rerouted to AGS on DL without going through ATL, so a pretty safe bet.

I was able to book YYZ-AMS-DUS-FCO-JFK-ATL-AGS for US$1564.

For whatever reason, I wasn't able to make the open jaw work with a US departure point, but the YYZ departure was fine. I guess maybe it was a HIP check, as the ex-Canada fares don't have it.

Aside from being cheaper, the Canada fares also were more flexible and had more routing opportunities, no HIP check, and allowed 2 stopovers.

I paid $40 to hold two tickets and the email I received said they were held until the 8th. Is that incorrect?

Don't give up. There's still lots of availability for these from partner hubs, especially using AF/KLM operated flights for the TATL segments. For instance, I just looked at ORD or IAH to MUC around Thanksgiving and found lots of routings for about $1700 RT in D1.

I assume you would have to look at the email they sent you for the exact details of your itinerary...but someone else on here said that it was 2 am tomorrow that their itinerary hold expired...technically after midnight tonight it is June 8.
