Derrico-
yes, it works for PDX.
Example: 2/14 PDX-(ORD)-FRA, 2/18 FRA-PDX-PHX for $284.

As long as the origin is PHL is seems to work on a variety of dated...The higher price probably reflects UK taxes

Not sure if things have changed on this, but the original deal was only valid for travel on Mond/Tues/Weds/Thurs and needed to include a Saturday night stay. That may explain the higher fares you are coming up with for travel 2/23-2/24...

Chicagoland Opportunities

For those in the Chicagoland area, I just stumbled on a way to pull this off.

There is a MKE-ORD flight which shows as USAirways Express flight. I saw MKE-ORD-FRA-ORD-MSN for $297 and AMS for $329. Less for an ORD termination on the return.

So no worries on finding a way to PHL/BWI/BOS/PIT, just stroll up to MKE

Scanning prior posts will identify several of the finds.
FRA, CGN, TXL, STR, MUC, HAM, ZRH, AMS, LHR work (~$300) from SFO, SJC, OAK, LAX, PDX. Seems likely there are others.
Others report success with numerous Midwest and East departures.

Read through this thread and the one linked to earlier, there are tons of dates thrown around. You pretty much just need a saturday it seems. I'm finding it to a few places from BNA and plan to head out on 2/21 to MUC via ORD.

No way for those of us with UA credit vouchers to take advantage of this pricing. :-( Unless there is some special way to book this someone knows of?
