PL trick is back!
Just booked ORD-FRA-LED-AMS-LHR-ORD for $702. Screen showed some price over $1k then when I picked the flights it droped to $702. First and last segment on AA, second on Aeroflot, third on KLM, forth on BA. Sept 17 to Sept 22.

Not sure why this got moved from Discussion to Deals but I was able to pull ORD-FRA-LED-LHR-ORD (AA, Aeroflot, BA, AA) and have the price drop from $846 to $594.
Is Aeroflot the key?

It seems you have to have like KLM on the way back. Otherwise does not work. Which dates dit you get for $594?

Isn't PL getting tons of debit memos for these? Are they unaware? 
Otherwise I'd pull the trigger...
