Anyone Taking Advantage of the Recent Intl Fare Sale?

Just curious if anyone was taking advantage of the seemingly generous fares to MUC or CDG?

3.5 cents all-in seemed unusually generous from US... ^

Anyone up for a Munich mini-DO?

If you're interested but haven't booked yet, a friendly reminder that you must do so in the next three hours...

Could you clarify, please?

I'm not sure I've seen a fare that low to PHL-CDG, I just got tickets last week and they were $192 each way + taxes (so 6.5 cpm). If I'd bought a week earlier it would have been $172. Have you seen a much better fare?

Sorry, I should have clarified in the original post - PHX-MUC is $171 each way, so $457 r/t with taxes and fees. At 12,840 miles, it ends up costing 3.56 cents per mile. I'm routing PHX-PHL-MUC, MUC-FRA-PHL-PHX.

In fact, as cheap as they are, I'm considering another flight almost entirely as a mileage run to cover AC *G status (free US domestic lounge access, SWUs, etc.).

CDG wasn't as good of a deal from any of the listed US cities.

One last note of interest (possibly):

I priced out an alternate return itinerary, and for $1024.50 am pulling up a B fare from MUC-FRA-CLT-PHX (one-way). Sadly, I just called the CP line and was told it's all sold out up front, but that seemed like a very reasonable B fare for such a long flight, even if it is the off-season.

That's a pretty great fare out of PHX - don't think I'll be able to take advantage of it this time around.

For any PHL based MRs out there, week day fares to LAS are dipping quite low - $178 r/t, around $0.035/EQM I believe - so a decent alternative.
