Is this only in Economy, or Business too?

Is this only in Economy, or Business too?

Assuming only economy

[knowitall]

It's the first of the month so January and some December flights are now bookable. Nothing 50% Ex-USA. Just Montreal Houston and Vancouver are 25% off.

You mean these are last months deals and nothing new yet.

KLM YQ kills most of it, no?

For economy. But the 50% from Vancouver is tempting

yes, but its still not awful

[Dan]

yes, but its still not awful

Sample?
ORD is horrendous, BOS doesn't look too good either.

Admittedly I am not a genius, but these FB promo awards confuse the heck out of me.  I tried searching a one-way BOS - TLV on 11/30 and it just comes out with the usual - staring at 25K miles.  What am I missing here?

Bos comes to about 38k RT plus $250 I guess thats not great

Oh.  I see what I did.  I confused booking dates with travel dates.  Still have a question about surcharges, though.  Do the $ charges shown on the date selection screen reflect all surcharges including YQ?  I Couldn't get past flight selection screen to see, with a zero mile balance.

you should be able to get bast the date selection screen, I have done it even without a balance in my account. But even if you cant just add the YQ from the departure and Return flights and then convert it into dollars and you have all the YQ

[D93]

They added a lot of GA flights. Any reasoning behind this?

weired, I guess its always good when they add more, remember Israel is considered Europe so there might be some good deals GA

Tried again and I was able to get past the flight selection screen after all. The weird thing this time is that the miles they show on after flight selection (60K) are NOT the same as on the date or flight selection screen (50K).  The return flight on flight selection showed as 35K vs. 25K. I even went back and resubmitted the flight search and it didn't change.  Any clues?  (I tried to add screen shots but it seems like it's not working for me.)

Normal thing with AF.
