OK for those of you who come here to share deals and not to lambast others, here it is:

Works from PHL-various EU cities serviced via UA, also LGA and probably lots of others.

Go to PL and do multi-city search
1. PHL-UA Hub City e.g., IAD or ORD
2. UA Hub to EU city
3. reverse 2
4. Reverse 1

Must have all UA (or possibly LH) segments except 1 on US. Click through to buy and price will go down by over $200.

Definitely has ~$300 AI fares in Feb-Mar with Mon-Th departures. Enjoy and to the deal snobs

Boy, do I feel like a dummy. Thanks!

found msp-fra 267 AI.. does anyone know if these will be honored? Sorry I haven't been keeping up on the "old priceline trick thread" that was mentioned earlier when gil took his post away...

Given that many have had this booked for a couple months or more now and have already flown it, my guess is yes, you should be fine.

I feel like I'm the only person on this board who can't find this deal. I've been plugging away dates ex-PHL to TXL/CGN/MUC... and can't get anything under $488. What am I doing wrong?

gil123

Not clicking through to purchase?

brarrr

so this only works for PHL or can you do routings to get to ORD on US via other cities?

BlissWorld

I'm not getting it out of LAX.....

PanHam

If someone can get this to price out of OAK or SFO, holllller.

Roaming Ryan

Anyone have the fare rules for the TATL portion of this ticket? I'm interested in finding the exact season restrictions.

First, MUCHISSIMAS GRACIAS to the OP for this. ^^^ I really appreciate it. Now, some questions for anyone who might be able to answer them:

- Any possibility of starting ex-WAS rather than ex-PHL?
- Any ability to control flight times through PL? They invite one to put in their preferred departure times, but then seem to ignore the input (like united.bomb), unless it is a matter of them putting one into the cheapest seats/flights.
- Any way to know what fare bucket one is booking into or see seats before pulling the trigger? I expect it is L, or S/T at best, meaning <W, and hence can't use an SWU.
- Anyone figure out the fare rules behind the fares, so we might know if there is any point in looking for less than 7- or less than 3-day returns?
- When one purchases through PL, the deal is done, no backing out within 24 hours, as one can do through united.bomb?

Thanks in advance for any help with the above, and again special thanks to the OP.
