Just since Monday we’ve seen the amazing Cathay Pacific business and first class fare deal get honored and we’ve seen business class between Chicago and Sydney for under $1500 roundtrip. Now it looks like there’s another special fare deal out there.
Via IAANN there’s an Alitalia business class offer starting at $538 roundtrip between Barcelona and New York JFK — and possibly also Los Angeles and Chicago (HT: Leo).
Here’s a Google Flights search that’s bringing up the price for Barcelona – New York JFK roundtrip. Find your itinerary on Google Flights and click through to the Alitalia website.
However it appears to book into ‘X’ which is usually an economy fare basis.
If you’re a US-based flyer, you can book a one way to Europe (redeem an award or book a paid fare such as on a low cost carreir) and use this for your return. Even book a roundtrip to Europe and nest this one inside of it so you get two trips.
Here’s where you get the most miles for Alitalia X fares.
As I wrote earlier about the Cathay Pacific and Air New Zealand fares we don’t know for certain how Alitalia will feel about such a deep discount airfare sale, whether they might get seller’s remorse, so I’d wait a few days after buying additional travel or making additional non-refundable plans around the fare. This is Alitalia so I should further state I trust them as far as I can throw them.
This one appears to be an economy fare miscoded as J in Google Flights.
I was just able to book for early March and a return in late April.
Gone with the wind. Corrected with very un-Italian speed!
what time zone is the post date in comments?
