I searched ORD-IAD IAD-LHR LHR-SFO. 12/5-12/6 I think.

Is anyone finding any routings starting out on the west coast? Perhaps SFO or LAX? I know that during the previous PL deals, LAX was a hotspot for fares.

Also, it appears that the old PL trick of adding a US segment on the end of a UA/LH ticket no longer works as it did the last time around. Or at least I've been able to make it work so far.

Yeah, can't seem to get it to work either...pricing out around $552a.i. so maybe the PL trick was short-lived....it may be back tho!

Well, I am getting it to work, just not starting on the west coast. Not too much problem starting at ORD and ending on the west coast however...

I'm still getting $262 for Saturday-Sunday turns in 2009. Interesting thing is that I click and it shows $564, then I go back, and I click again and it shows $262. So push and pull a little bit. I'm not sure what's going on, but it's still working.

I would love to see if PL will add on an ex-LHR trip, breaking the fare at LHR but showing the onward travel as a connection, negating the LHR taxes. LH has a 1 GBP roundtrip to DUS that would be nice...
Did you try to book this 1 GBP fare ?

Fares like that are normal for LH, they make their money with YQ surcharges.

You will end up around 100$ for the r/t
