US-Europe J Fares over New Years
 

All kinds of sub-$2200 J fares out there. MXP, FCO, WAW, LIS, many other cities. All alliances. 12/29-1/1 example dates.

Lots of east coast, but I see YVR-MXP at US$1126++ (and available way more than just New Years) and ex-SEA/SFO $1600++ (only christmas/NYears dates) for west coast. LAX seems more, or at least I havent found the destinations with the $1600++ fare that SEA/SFO have.

Dont forget that you can pull the OneWorld fares up via AAvacations (with a cheap hotel) and by purchasing the $129 predeparture waiver you can make these fares refundable...

sample link? Tried looking for LIS, WAW and not finding anything.

Any west coast fares?

Where do you see those YVR fares? Not seeing anything on GF.

San Diego available

With CARDOFFERU and AARP we are looking at fares close to $2100

I only look at the GDS. So there are fares filed there, locating availability in a booking engine is another story.

What's GDS?

Global Distribution System. It is subscription service where all fares are filed, along with fare and routing rules. It is the way to know what is actually out there, always step one for me before then going to a booking engine to see about availability of fare class on various dates. Much more efficient than the hunt and peck with a booking engine or even ITA.

And I'm guessing that excludes taxes and airline surcharges? That can easily be an extra $1,000 r/t.

Does that mean those YVR fares are going to be posted to booking engines for sure or does it just depend? Also as someone else asked, will that price include tax? I live in YVR so would be very interested.

Look at my post, I clearly give a price with a "++" after the dollar amount. That means plus taxes and fees. If the fares I mentioned have not been withdrawn then they should all be bookable via a number of online travel agents, although you may want to use ITA and a monthly search to locate available dates.

While the fares you posted is not the initial post please note Rule 6 of the Premium Fare Forum in the Sticky at the top of the forum, applies to all discussion of prices in a thread, not just the title.

6. Give “all-in” pricing in an amount and currency that makes sense. Since good prices are what we’re after, it makes sense to include pricing in the thread title where possible.

• We want to know that when we see a price, it is something we can actually buy. Save the marketing tricks for the airlines. Make sure that the price you quoted includes all taxes and fees. That is what we refer to as “all-in” pricing and is usually abbreviated “ai” or “a.i.”
  
• It should be clear that a price is for either round-trip/return or one-way travel. While it’s generally assumed that any price is for round-trip/return unless stated otherwise, just use the common abbreviations to be clear: “rt” “r/t” “rtn” “o/w” “ow”
  
• Try to state the price in a the local currency that the ticket is offered in. In the case of a less familiar currency, try also to convert the price to one or more of the global standard currencies like EUR, GBP, USD or JPY.

Could you please post a link to sign up for this? TIA

Then i wont post it any more. I am pointing out fares that are in the GDS and i dont have time to look them all up on an OTA. If the forum wants to lose that very useful info then i will go away, after 12 plus years of being helpful around here.
