SFO-LAX-CDG-SFO Fri, March 16th leaving SFO at 14:00, and returning on Sunday March 18th from CDG at 12:00...
All for a grand total of $49.96... for two of us ....I like it
So...Anyone else flying on March 16th - March 18th? Where we all gonna meet? SFO? LAX? I figure there's strength in numbers

He can use a reward flight for 25,000 miles to go from BOS to SJC... or get Priceline. It's still a good deal from the east coast.

wow!, was away from the house and didn't catch this amazin' deal. Congrats to all that got it.
also, 65 posts in 3 1/2 hours must be a record on FT (and Ozstamps, please do not bother correcting me with one of your threads if it isn't)
Good work Benjamin!

Yes, pardon me for forgetting, thank you Benjamin for sharing this with us. There's 7 of us going together on this trip. 3 of us have the same itin as you, and the other 4 are returning later. On the outbound, don't know if you have status, but as long as I can get in complementary at the RCC in LAX, (which I should since this is an international itinerary), be my guest. I'm well stocked with drink coupons so I'd be happy to share up to 20 or so with you.
Tvl4Free: I'm only doing 1 of these Paris runs, outbound the 16th, return the 18th. Sounds like we'll have to meet on some other super-discounted run, as that seems to be the only ones that interest us (destination irrelevant).

You mean I might get to meet people from the Board and thank them for getting me addicted?! That is SO cool!

Benjamin, great kudos to you.
While I missed out on this fantastic FlyerTalker deal, I think it is probably the best post of the year so far.
You just totally rock!

Missed this one, too. Went into work just before 7p.m., and logged on to FlyerTalk on my lunch break at midnight...too late to take advantage of this. I played around with some dates after I got home and it is most certainly gone now.
Congratulations to everyone that was able to jump on this!

Hey guys,
I'm on the SFO-CDG on 3/9.....drop me a line if you're on the same flight and we'll coordinate our schedules. Perhaps a FT party at the new SFO Int'l terminal prior to departure?
