[PREM FARE GONE] Skyteam: DTW - CPT RT AI $2297 Expedia Package
 
i picked up May 18-June 5. Departing leg new A350 to AMS. KLM 777 from AMS to CPT. Picked a nicer hotel for 3 nights but you can choose throw away hotel for above price. Need to go to flight + hotel package for deal.

I did one of these deals to get to Mauritius and it was awesome - we saved a bunch of money on the flights. Great find, OP!

Edit: This isn't limited to DTW, it seems. I searched from LAS and got around $2,750 per person for all domestic first / international business on a variety of routings. Seems like a pretty stellar deal based on flight prices from Google flights.

has anyone been able to narrow down what dates are valid for this deal? so far I've seen it valid in April and May 2019

It extends into the beginning of June, too. I haven't looked any earlier than April.

Did those flights credit? I heard some people were having problems getting mileage credit for those previous flight + hotel package deals

MSP showing up around the same price as DTW. Ex: 5/8-5/18. Connecting through DTW on A350 to AMS on the way out and CPT>AMS>MSP on the way home.

I didn't see anything for ORD doing a couple searches for April/May.

I credited them to Delta and the legs that I expected to credit did so eventually. I flew ORD - AMS - MRU outbound and MRU - CDG - ORD inbound. The ORD - AMS and CDG - ORD legs credited because they were operated by KLM and AF, respectively, whereas the MRU legs didn't credit because they were operated by Air Mauritius.

I did have to file a mileage request using the ticket number on the Delta website, though, as they did not credit automatically like I expected them to.

Itineraries also price out from DEN at around $2,375 per passenger. They're all two stops in between DEN and CPT, connecting in JFK/ATL and then AMS/CDG depending on operating carrier. From SJC, it looks like $2,400 per passenger, routing through LAX and then AMS/CDG again. Good connection times on the outbound, in general, with things being a little bit longer on the inbound.

Also available from LAS and PHX from $2,800, but at that point I'd just position to DEN or SJC on Southwest to save some cash.

EDIT: LAS not LAX in that last paragraph.

Nice catch! Would definitely book if I didn't already have a full roster for the next 10 months.

I am still seeing some dates late in the schedule from various locations. From SJC on 5/17 - 5/31 prices below $2,400 per person.

Thanks to other posters in this thread, I checked from ATL and saw the pricing valid from there, saving me the cost/hassle of a positioning flight. In for one in early April. Thanks, OP!

The deal is still live in case anyone is interested. Flying from DTW - CPT via AMS on the A350-900 still prices out at around $2,300 per person for a ticket that's retailing around $6,600 per person if purchased through KLM. Like another poster, I would absolutely jump on this if my schedule wasn't already jam-packed for the next 10 months. Have fun to anyone who ends up booking.
