Also, looks like you can get JFK to Paris in the low $300's
on some dates.

MileHighHC Dec 21st, 2010 03:18 PM

and JFK to Rome RT in the Fall is in the $400s!

yewstulivnitalia Dec 21st, 2010 03:37 PM

Actually JFK to Paris in March as low as $291.00 Round Trip

What a score!
Other airline fares are $650 for the same time period.

Have a great trip.

I CANNOT THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR POSTING!!!

I have been thinking about a trip, but could not decide. I saw your post and within ten minutes, I had spoken with my husband and booked a trip.

I am flying into London and home from Paris, for $330. In addition to being open jaw and letting me visit 2 cities, this gives me the benefit of a daytime flight from JFK to London, which I much prefer to an overnight.

Unbelievable. Now, I have to go book the Eurostar.

I am very excited right now. Thank you again.

yewstulivnitalia Dec 21st, 2010 06:41 PM

Wow!
I didn't know that this sale also allowed open jaw.
What a fantastic price.

Best wishes for a safe and fun journey.

travelgirl2 Dec 21st, 2010 06:45 PM

Thank you. Thank you.

joannyc Dec 21st, 2010 06:45 PM

Bummer, JFK-MAD-JFK in late September is $619.

Glad that some of you got great prices!!!

Cheap Iberia fares are disappearing on their website.
A few Fodors posters and several slowtrav.com posters
have taken advantage of these airfares.
These are codeshare flights, actually operated by American Airlines. It appears that Iberia forgot to add the $340 fuel surcharge for CODESHARED flights, thus creating this bargain.

Dukey1 Dec 22nd, 2010 07:20 AM

why would there be a fuel surcharge only for codeshare????

yewstulivnitalia Dec 22nd, 2010 07:58 AM

Dukey;
Not sure, but I think that they left off the fuel surcharge completely.
I read about this on slowtrav.com Italy and France forums

http://slowtalk.com/groupee/forums/a...m/199006933001

http://slowtalk.com/groupee/forums/a...m/700008933001

and jumped on it.

I think that it may have disappeared by now

scatcat Dec 22nd, 2010 08:04 AM

I think it's gone, but I already booked my April and June trips anyway. NOT THAT CHEAP for sure! I know Iberia made a Merry Christmas to a lot of people.

wepn829 Dec 22nd, 2010 09:35 AM

I booked this for March. I am flying into Milan and out of Paris for $292 RT including everything. I think this price is only available up to the beginning of April now.

olympicgaym Dec 22nd, 2010 09:53 AM

I did not get the super low deals you all got, but I got Chicago to London for $689 for the last week of April. I had a travel agent friend also looking for deals for me, she looked into the fare and noticed that there was no fuel surcharge. We went ahead and booked with no problems! Today that same fare Iberia(British Airways) is over $1000.00!!

Someone is going to pay for all these costly mistakes. Heads will roll, inevitably.

travelgirl2 Dec 22nd, 2010 04:58 PM

Oooh, that's a big mistake for someone to make. Musta cost a bundle.
