Russian Rubels low = extremely discounted tickets!!!
« on: December 16, 2014, 02:19:01 PM »
Can be booked on United.com change country on the upper right side to Russia, if you book today and the RUB drops within 2 days till your charge posts you will pay even less

I recommend it should not go to the main site, because this affects all airlines so the less publicity the better

This is the problem with posting this stuff here.
It will be on FT and other blogs next, but you ask that it not go to DDMS as if the rest of the world can't read this.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

This works with hotels all the time, especially agents that have season rates. Always pays to look with currency had largest drop that season before booking

I don't know how this works, but I'd guess the currency gets updated at certain intervals.
A day? A week? Anyone know?

No way this would last more than that interval...

It should all be the same percentage discount, they're just using the conversion rates from the last interval and it's fallen 20-25% since then.

Actually saw this yesterday, figured rates would be off due to Russians slashing them. The real catch would be to find a travel agent that will issue a cash ticket when a serious black market arises (if there isn't one already) due to the recent exchange rate hike. (like what happened in Venezuela)
