You are not able to connect onto the A350 in C/J at Detroit with this fare. You will get the A330 in C/J.

If one is looking for Delta One Suite to AMS early next year after its launch in March, then get ready to give up an arm and a leg relative to this fare.

Had no problems to ticket one on DL 132 with the A350, using the KL app.

Wich part of the fare rules exclude the A350? Can't find it.

Good for you ^ I could only get a Suite to price at a fare thousands more.

no, the fare is set to expire ... so they are pulling it, irrespective of IAH/HOU

Has anyone booked this in the past couple of hours? I'm seeing the $1750 in the GF search results, but when I select flights, it jumps to $8k+.

Looks like fare is expired. Great find by OP. Beauty one way fares to use points on the return. Snagged a few of these myself.

Have a r/t on 72-hour hold via KLM for next spring. Anyone have link to definitive rules governing transit only at IST with proof of onward itinerary. Looks like easy connect to/from TLV on TK which is where I would like to visit. But I'd hate to book positioning flights (from PDX) and onward itin without assurance that I wouldn't be denied boarding at IAH. Thx.

I don't think the visa situation has any impact if you are just connecting to another flight and don't intend to exit the airport

If the situation is not resolved by the time of travel, will the airline deny boarding someone at IAH, or another airport in the US?

As long as you don't have a checked bag. Last year, with a checked bag (and different tickets, without baggage interlining - AZ refused to interline to AF and DL, ha!) I had to go clear immigration, get the bag, check it in, then go through immigration again.

I had the time, and also had an e-visa that was still valid from a prior, longer visit. But if you aren't trying to deal with visas, definitely don't check any baggage that can't be checked through.
