AMEX Plat 2 for 1

Shouldn't this be bookable 2 for 1 with Amex?

Very nice. Do the dates/times right, and you can avoid Delta metal. I'll take a Virgin Atlantic 787 and A330 over Delta 767.

Amex 2-4-1 needs to originate from USA assuming you are a USA card holder.

Doesn't it also need to be a fully refundable fare?

Domestic to International is not a great experience...I've done it and survived, but I don't want to do it again (then again that is my attitude about all of India sadly). But I assume this would be an international to international transit, which is supposedly a bit better as mentioned above by SkyTeem.

Potentially useful to DL/Skyteam members.

CMB-BOM & BOM-LHR operated by 9W. LHR-JFK operated by DL.

CMB-BOM = 73H
BOM-LHR = 77W
LHR-JFK = 764

Variations of this fare through other Skyteam hubs (CDG/AMS) also available on certain dates, 9W operates to both CDG & AMS.

BOS is also available.

Not easily shown on Google Flights/ITA, but bookable on DL site.

e.g. https://goo.gl/flights/CfDe
Not a bad fare, though J on 9W's 738s is pretty bad and the long-haul 9W premium product has rapidly been deteriorating even on 77W aircraft.

I am still seeing it on 9W, but am trying to find the best way to maximize MQM earning.

KL fare is still filed, DL fare does appear to be gone, at least I was unable to find the DL fare in the GDS. Surprising, as these had both been around for a while and just seemed like the normal fare. So the answer is to book with the KL fare which has slightly different rules but is same price.

I can't seem to pull up the KL fare myself...does anyone have a Google Flights link to it?

Yeah - I'm seeing KL fares at 2,100-2,400 on Google Flights and Matrix unless I'm missing something.
