here is a pretty good deal for our European members.
Lindt & Sprüngli(Capital) to our financial capital
financial capital to FC Chelsea

All for $327 a/i. Pretty good I'd say : )
Same also available departure from Manneken Pis. : )
Update 2: If you are creative you can bring that down to $313 a/i : )

London to New York
Flight 1 Tuesday, March 16, 2010

price
travellers flights taxes
1 adult(s) x (294.64 + 216.84) = 511.48 (376.01 USD)
total for all travellers 511.48 (376.01 USD)

Since this looks like a fare mistake( or maybe not), only bookable on the country that is most famous with rose oil. Please don't spit it out if you figure it out. Thanks guys. : )
any hint which site is it? there is no vs.b...

Uh Oh

Just got an email from the big O asking for a call "for a significant change to my flight schedule". I looked at the current flight times for the primary airline and the FD airline and there has been no changes to the original flight times. Anyone else had this happen before?

I got a similar call last week for a non-tricked ticket. I looked on .bomb and saw no change or any change alert.

I ignored it.

That was my thought as well. Will do the same unless someone else chimes in with a compelling reason to call. Thanks

Then how do people there book tickets?

I think you answered your own question

It took me a few tries to figure it out. You have the code, that's all I'll share.

Actually, if you look even further back, I posted it -- but people only seem to take notice when Raffles posts deals.

Fellow FD exponents... I have the following TATL sectors booked.

EWR-MAD 3/2, FCO-EWR 3/6, EWR-TXL 3/10 and MAD-EWR 3/14.

Would be fun to meet others engaged in similar activities. Some of you guys must be onboard b/c loads on some of these sectors are uncharacteristically high for low season TATL flights! If so, and you want to chat/meet at PC/onboard, send me PM.

No need for sorries.

This has been around longer than that; people started posting these around the first or second week of December. They are great fares.

Just as an FYI, this rose oil deal is up on Slick Deals now so looks like the word it out pretty wide.

At the moment, I'm flying CLE-EWR-TXL 3/5, TXL-EWR-IAH-BOS on 3/6, BOS-CLE-EWR-FCO on 3/9 and ZRH-MAN-EWR-CLE on 3/14. So, as it stands, maybe I'll bump into you in EWR on 3/6 and/or 3/14.

But the trip is all thanks to FT! Would love to meet FTers on the trip; I don't have anything planned for my time in Europe, really, and, of course, I'm willing to travel!

you could potentially credit the VS flight to CO mileage and get EQMs for it (not sure the exact fare class though)

great fare but trying to save a little for a big trip to the land down under.

Yikes! If there's any place that would kill a deal faster it would be that place. If you're interested in booking that fare you'd better do it now.
