If anyone manages to get it ~ $300 from IAD or PHL or NYC please share. No love so far myself.

Shown up as $916 in search results, $614 after clicking...

This fare isn't really notable, but at least the PL Trick is working - anyone have any ideas as to what rhyme and reason this glitch is based on?

Anyone flying on 11/08 (to) or 11/09 (from)?

I land in LHR at 10.00pm, and am out at 10.05 am . . . going to make a night of it in London.

Now, I just have to figure out how to get to ORD from SFO on Friday, 11/07 . . . I have a 50 dollar UA voucher . . . and a free WN ticket, , if the transfer from MDW to ORD is not too bad . . . . anyone know?

I've tried many combinations, and so far, no dice either.

Are you flying back and forth, or will you be there. I'm in for Thanksgiving leaving the 26th returning the 29th - though I may tack on a Ryan Air flight and stay in Dublin instead.

Which booking class is that?

Mine are ORD - IAD - LHR - IAD - ORD with the ORD - IAD - LHR showing up as V and the return showing up as H.

Wow - H is upgradeable with miles . . . lucky punk. Mine book into "V." The price of jumping on this deal early?

We're staying there (probably in London itself, but may go out to the countryside) - we fly over on Tuesday, and back on Monday. Our outbound basis is V as well, but the return is Q. Unfortunately, I have no more SWUs I can use this year, so we'll be slumming it in Coach.

It's probably the BMI fare buckets, not UA.

Would love to get this done ex LON since I'm Europe based. If I need to fly to ORD first the deal is much less attractive.

Is this really only ex USA??

I think they just closed the loop on this deal. I can't get the YQ to disappear any longer.

Nope, it's definitely still working. Just found several ~$250 fares for march.

Occasionally, you'll need to refresh the itinerary once or twice before the lower fare appears
