Crazy Fare - $85 from San Jose, Ca to Paris
I was looking around for trips from SFO or SJC to Paris. I stumbled across a fare for $85.42 and booked it (twice). Can United pull this back and claim it was a mistake?
Here is the itinerary:
AIR> Mar 16 UA# 2560 SJC --> LAX 2:25 pm 3:42 pm
AIR> Mar 16 UA # 932 LAX --> CDG 4:30 pm 12:20 pm (Next day)
AIR> Mar 18 UA # 961 CDG --> SFO 12:00 pm 2:35 pm
AIR> Mar 18 UA(oper. by South Bay Flyer)# 8516 SFO --> SJC 4:50 pm 5:40 pm
************************************************** ***********
This customer was quoted USD 85.42
(per person) for this trip

This must have been a glitch in their system. It prices at US$436.50 (round trip) for me.
Let us know whether you get the round trip ticketed for this great price!

has the price held after you click 'purchase?' I don't want to click purchase and be stuck with 500 bucks

Hey--I tried the same itinerary and came up with $85 also. So, I tried to book the thing as a turnaround--great mileage run and never even leave CDG and it priced at $2304. I guess the Saturday night stay on this one is worth $2200+???

I did it too from San Francisco. 23 bucks. I now have 4 roundtrips from SFO/SJC to CDG for a total cost of about $200. I have confirmation numbers and everything. The price holds once you click charge/submit.
