If you want to get the 486 price, you need to click all the way.

*edit - even cheaper if you pick the right dates / use another 3x

$325 is possibile for sure. I am pretty sure it is possible to get sub 300 but I can't price it now ;/

I admit, I have not. I'm a latecomer, and have been keeping up for a few months as well as reading past posts.

But I do believe I know why you asked that question with regard to that particular post

And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him.
I think it's the combo of groom (which connotes horses to me) and pale that does it. I propose we call this combo "Starpocalypse".

To try to use 1 "old and useless " dump and then give up is so amatourish. Study and learn and then book.

Hi + + 13 miler + any hints? Been a few dozen of these while you were in your fav spot.

But with the luxurious carrier is that the case? They're not the operating carrier for all the legs. My booking site doesn't allow you to see the fare class so I'm not entirely sure. I've been looking though bc I see the sub 300, which I want to book. :-)

Check out the fare requirements for the strike. There may be restrictions such as country of sale. Do that before you start trying other booking sites.

Thanks for posting the nice FRA base fare. A riff on a previously closed dump+a recent promotion= a friend is ticketed at sub $250. Got to love it.

There is now a $45 base NYC-CDG, reduced this afternoon from $128. I've been able to drop this from $689 to $495 on the authoritative site but have not tried to book it yet. I do not know enough tricks yet, and am still trying to find my coffee at its hub.

There's a $90 base one-way between west C1 and C2 on *A. I can get ai for slightly less than $400. The base fare from east C1 is $45.

Valid for outbound travel 23/1-22/3, last day to ticket is 11/1.
