AF : IAD - DXB $3,782 CAD in F

Looks like Lufthansa and British Airways are really breathing down Air France's neck these days...

https://www.google.com/flights?lite=...;sc:f;sd:1;t:f

Sadly when I click the suggested times it reprices and lists it at over $13,000. That being said there seems to be wide open availability listed on flights for the Fall for this itinerary, I suppose it's a matter of seeing what dates are still available at this competitive rate. Needless to say, when a major airline launches a price war in F savvy travellers take notice.

Safe Travels,

James

Beware that only the first sector is First - the rest is in Economy.

Yeah - looks like it's about $7k for IAD-CDG-DXB in J and DXB-CDG-JFK in F. Bummer.

Flights is showing me first all the way until the last US domestic sector (which is in economy):




Challenge is determining whether there exists any dates where this will ticket at the price flights suggests.

Safe Travels,

How about the one you linked to in your first post?

Also - bear this in mind if you even get the tickets to issue in all F at these prices:

{Fare Gone} Air France : IST - SJO $2,341 First Class$2,639 RT (mixed Business)
[PREM FARE GONE] AF Business Class LAX - LHR $1515

I would not trust any F offers or deals on Air France... What you think is a good deal in F turns out to be a pretty expensive deal in Y...
irishguy28 and palmanfr like this.

It always depends on how many tickets are booked. If they only sell a couple of tickets, it's not worth the hassle for them.
In this case, i can't price the itinerary... Seems like a phantom fare.
