There’s a current thread on Flyertalk about several US cities (so far noting Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Chicago, Pittsburgh, but no doubt others) having August fares across Europe — Paris, Amsterdam, Berlin, Brussels, and More — for less than $1900.
The fare is nonrefundable and bookable on Expedia and also shows up on Orbitz, though there are reports of pricing difficulties on Orbitz. It seems to be the key that the overwater segments either be on Lufthansa or a Lufthansa-coded United flight.
This is an outstanding fare for peak summer season, and especially from the US West Coast. Plenty of coach itineraries will be approaching this price…
Thanks, Gary. I “traded” my 4th of July trip in E+ (SFO-FRA) in for one of these. Only about $450 more (figuring in the $200 change fee on the original trip that I’ll rebook for later in the year). The nice thing, of course: I get to go LH C instead of UA E+ with possibility of 30k x 2 upgrade.
