Sometimes it's cheaper to visit relatives in the Bahamas than in Canada.

Moved to this thread.

Please post all "trick" fares here rather than in the main forum!

With such a high YQ I'm interested!
The post actually mentioned the route, but two threads got merged into here at the same time, so the posts are interleaving. Anyway. The YQ on this fare is $370; original post follows:

Friendly: DEN-SIN UPGRADEABLE W FARE from $950 a.i.
Permitted Monday through Thursday
Permitted through May 21st or Sep 8th through Dec 11th
2 free stopovers permitted. None in Japan Outbound
Sample date : DEN-SIN Mar 15 Mar 17 $928 a.i. W fare

If you read this title, you'll see it's tricky... hence merged into the Trick It thread.

Refresher about ALL fares with tricks (accidentally or on purpose) - they all should be posted in *this* thread rather than in Mileage Run Deals.

That's about as cheap as we've seen lately. If BCN isn't your final destination, that airport has a bunch of low fare carriers, including Vueling.

Unfortunately, and not surprisingly, it doesn't look like the fare extends beyond early March.

...Meaning, if this trip matters to you at all, I think everyone here would agree that you'd better nail it quick, or you're going to have a much bigger regret than the price of a Big Mac or a coffee at Starbucks in BCN.
