i'm interested in hearing about the major deals people are getting within the last year or two.

mine: $401 RT non-stop inclusive of taxes and fees from JFK to ATH in May 2009.

hoping to score another incredible deal this year!!!!

Wow! Great deal. What airline was it?

i just realized i messed up my topic title. lol.

it was with delta

RT Business class seat LAX to MXP, $2000.00

$275 all-in roundtrip, SEA-MAD, on Delta in September 2009.

Hi,

Great topic!

Would you mind including the airline, travel month and how far out you bought your ticket in your responses, please?

Many thanks!

Joan, I will add that I bought my ticket above in June 2009.

WillTravel, that was some deal!!!! Congrats! Only hope I can do half that well this year from JFK - CDG in September!

Joan, that wasn't all! When I took the MAD-JFK leg of this trip, the entertainment system didn't work quite right. So Delta gave everyone a $100 voucher, which I have happily used for an airfare to Mexico.

VLC-BOS, NYC-VLC for 225E. Bought probably in March for May 2009. Iberia mad sale.

I posted this back in April 2004:-

<i>Just been quoted Glasgow - East Mids with Easy Jet a fare of -£1.50.

Yes that's right MINUS £1.50!!!!!!!

They'll actually credit you £1.50 against airport tax.

It's ludicrous n'est-ce pas?</i>

Probably not what you'd call a major deal but I am still puzzled as to the economics of it... It would have been cheaper for the airline if I hadn't flown - unless they were banking that they'd recoup their £1.50 in snack sales during the flight. Given that a tiny packet of peanuts is probably more than that I didn't oblige them.

Not quite as good a Dr_DoGood but we flew from Amsterdam to Cork and back on Aer Lingus last August/September. Cost - the fees and taxes. Oh and €30 for a checked bag.

Last March, I got IAD-VCE for $356 on Iberia for a November flight. Then in June, I got DCA-ZRH for $314 on Delta flights in September.

What site are you guys using to find these amazing airfares? I never seem to find bargains out of the Dallas area.

$329 R/T (all-in) Orange County, CA to Madrid, Spain (connections in ATL each way)

Purchase in June 2009 for travel on October 2009

*Oh, and we got $600 vouchers for giving up our seats on the return flight from ATL to SNA that was oversold*
