PL trick is back!
 
Just booked ORD-FRA-LED-AMS-LHR-ORD for $702. Screen showed some price over $1k then when I picked the flights it droped to $702. First and last segment on AA, second on Aeroflot, third on KLM, forth on BA. Sept 17 to Sept 22.

Not sure why this got moved from Discussion to Deals but I was able to pull ORD-FRA-LED-LHR-ORD (AA, Aeroflot, BA, AA) and have the price drop from $846 to $594.

Is Aeroflot the key?

It seems you have to have like KLM on the way back. Otherwise does not work. Which dates dit you get for $594?

PL trick
 
I think it has always been there, just nobody talked about it because they were afraid PL would fix it!

BTW... if anyone knows of a PL trick to FRA please let me know.

Isn't PL getting tons of debit memos for these? Are they unaware? :confused:

Even if PL is getting debit memos, they are not worried as they have...

"THE NEGOTIATOR" :D

Seems to work only with Aeroflot as the second segment. Only AA/BA on the way back is fine. Seems also to work for the same dates on Vayama.

Anyone can see how it could be done for departing LED?

Try through LED :)

I'm able to pull up interesting dates and fares, and would love to visit Russia for $500+, but the Visa thing is a killer:( Otherwise I'd pull the trigger...

ORD-IAD-LHR-ORD-LAX/SFO $323 - parrallel discussion in this thread.

how do you check the fare basis on priceline for non-US airlines so that you know they will earn mileage?

LHR deal is gone, but LED deal, I just checked, is still alive.
