I received an alert from Google Flights, It's said that these flights are no longer at 800€ but 1200€
I'm the only one?

It works at least from october to end of april to make a 3 in 1 trip with stop in Nantes/Paris/Lyon or probably other french cities (Norway (halloween) - Istanbul (New year) - Norway (easter or end april/early may)
Prices are around 670-685 (bookable on expedia) or 785€ (delta) if you fly to IKT to maximise miles ()

without the 4 sectors on svo ikt to be considered as intra europe. it wouldnt net 50K EQM on flying blue for skyteam elite plus unfortunately.

it seems that there is no AF code on SVO IKT beyond march, and that is why the fare cant price out (happily proven wrong...)

I am sorry if my question is a bit "stupid" but when I try to price it on expedia, the price jumps to 3000+€... even though I have entered the same dates than the screenshots posted earlier in this topic...
So I tried on Delta website and here is the answer I got (!)

Please, can those who succeeded to price it help me ?
Thank's
Luc

you need to use matrix ita combine with powertools to book these efficiently.

Thank you so much ! I now succeed to create it on DL
Now, my problem is that I can't find any good price (such as those showed on google flights) with matrix... So last question (I hope !), can someone provide me an example of dates and routing with a good price ? I tried those posted earlier but no results unfortunately ...
Thank's again for your time and patience

you may need to use matrix ita routing langauge to find the desired flights, if it still exists. good luck.

I believe it's origin specific, try ex-SVG.

i mean when i look at the routing rule ex SVG on expertflyer. of the 500 rules that are published, I searched for IKT and it is not on the list.

it's true, i noticed this as well. I am going to do some digging, there is something in the fare rules allowing something here. And I wonder where else?

apparently, it wont price for su instead of af to ikt.

ikt is the furthest I can get via matrix on af*
there are other destinations like ovb and i suspect it would price out similarly too. people dont have to go to ikt twice in one ticket.
