Got in on this, going IND-MAD for $237...my guess is that it was totally a mistake--there's no way they're making anything on these fares, especially considering there's no fuel surcharge added. I paid $355 last week to go IND-LAX. The taxes were almost the same on that ticket as this one!

pitbrian = Flyertalker of the week??
Good find on this - it seems dozens of folks jumped on this deal to various cities. I just wish I had done more the my measly BOS-ZRH in September.
First drink is on me in ZRH!

I'm staying somewhere that's a few levels of service higher; paid a little over $300 a.i. out of BNA for a holiday weekend (Labor Day's also my birthday weekend), which is absolutely a screaming deal. Went back to book another ticket today and - as we know - the deal is done.
Book now, ask questions later.
(especially w/DL with the 24hr cancel policy)

I booked the trip to ZRH I would likely take - going to ZRH on consecutive weekends would be a little excessive, no?

I am still trying to figure out if this delta promotion
https://www.delta.com/marketing/inte...MESTIM05-A-E-A
applies to multiple round trips. Saying: Will I get 25.000 bonus miles each time I take a round trip to ZRH? I have until midnight to cancel any of my Zurich trips in case the 25.000 bonus miles only apply once. Cleary, there is nothing in the fine prints indicating you will get the bonus miles only once on each route. The Delta rep on the phone was not able to determine that either and advised me to simply give it a try... Any thoughts?

Mine also shows zero miles on the JFK-VLC-JFK legs! I wouldn't have booked, albeit for only $242 ai from BDL, if I couldn't get the miles. Anyone confirm that the fare IS mileage eligible?

Most of these seem to be T fares and so they are eligible for mileage earning in some programs including that of DL's.

a couple of friends jumped on a 2 day turn from CLE-ZRH for $230 mid august...i wanted to go but had to pay a whopping $375 out of CMH due to flight availabilities and work 
...
not a great deal, but pretty darn good for August
