London -> SF (Dec. 31)
LHR -> SFO Iberia 7443 Economy (Q)

SF -> Granada, Spain (April 14)
SFO -> LHR AA 6187 First (A)
LHR -> MAD BA 460 Business (J)
MAD -> GRX Iberia 8936 Business (J)

Also worked to other destinations in Spain. (I'm relatively new here so apologies in advance if this should be its own thread/doesn't qualify as a "deal")
Is the $1500 pricing for the whole trip posted? Or just part of it?

Anyone able to still find this fare? Out of LAX, the lowest I can find is $1460.

For anyone looking for a flight back to the west coast, I would recommend checking out TAP, DUB-LIS-SFO. It has thr new 330-900 neo and a great lie flat seat. A bit over $700 one way. A free stop over in Lisbon. Can be had for round-trip for twice the price.

correcting the IATA carrier code

The correct carrier code for Alaska is AS, not WS.
Ironic that the original post is from YYC - HQ for West Jet (WS)

Disclaimer: YQ is obv missing, enjoy while it lasts.

SFO-LGW for $792 - https://flights.app.goo.gl/C135w

I purposely titled the subject using WS. The underlying fare here is WS with the interline segment on AS dropping the YQ.

Yes, the ticket is issued under Alaska (AS - 027).

Can I contact WS, or should I wait? I would like to change auto-assigned seats, and I can't do it on WS.

Related errors likely going on here...the GDS is incorrectly pricing this as an AS ticket, even though it's a WS fare (thus AS has no YQ filed for this fare basis). If I force pricing on WS ticket stock, the fare increases by $600. As a rule, international offline flights cannot be ticketed on AS stock (with the reccent exception of QF fares sold directly by AS).

Sent PM. Now that Repooc17 has drawn my attention to the fact this is validated on AS, I expect iit will be tough to find a traditional TA that will issue the ticket. AS does not permit agents to issue tickets with offline (other airline) segments on 027 ticket stock. You might still have luck with an OTA that has a totally automated process, though.

Please keep the thread updated if your ticket is cancelled by AS or WS.
If any ticketing error is on AS part, based on their track record, this ticket should remain valid.
