For those of you who are jumping on this fare, what fun places are you going? Anyone going ex-LHR?

I finally got it after 3 hours combing and deciphering all the clues! It was fun figuring it all out. Thanks flyertalk!

I probably will not book a flight since I want to maintain my status with UA and Star Alliance.

Ah, finally figured it out though it's of no use for me. Now let me go have some kavarma.

This is defo a mistake, maybe it's mixing up USD and GBP?!?
SFO and WAS seem to work, too, btw!
Has anyone found anything ex-LHR yet (apart from DXB?)

So I figured out the conversion to the Leva and the Rose oil references but can't find the site. Even looked laterally to where Alexander comes from to no avail. A PM would be great. Thanks

Good find; congratulations and safe travels to those of you who can use it. No good for me; positioning expenses ruin such deals. Now, why don't you guys locate similar deals that work with my airports (ORD, NRT, DEL, etc) and OW carriers?

PS. If anybody can figure out a way to search itineraries beyond those supported by menus, please drop me a pm. I was able to do that for the similar L@n deal in the past, but haven't succeeded here.

NYC-BCN $365.10 a/i

This is my first find so I hope it's decent. Haven't seen it anywhere else yet.

NYC - BCN $365.10 a/i on .bomb with fd

suggestion

might want to mention the airline up front by including the the two character IATA code as a prefix to the post title

this is really helpful as opposed to having to take the post apart (looking for .bomb, for instance)

thanks for the post

Nice deal. Unfortunately was looking for July dates to London, but it's not valid that far out.

ETA: Outbound through 28 MAR 2010 per the fare rules.

Oops, I do appear to be 10 days late with this one. It's about 10 pages back and Raffles found it for $322. Sorry all. Still available if you wanted to know
