Spring Break in Moscow – $200 Roundtrip

March 13, 2009 | Posted in: Airfare Mistakes, Airfare Sales, American

Update: At 1:00am this morning American added another 100 cities (all the smaller ones in their route system) to the list with these once in a lifetime prices — maybe it isn’t a mistake …

Recently Hillary was handing out “Reset” buttons to thaw relations with Russia, but this is ridiculous.

Tonight American Airlines made what appears to be a mistake on some new and very low priced airfares from the U.S. to Moscow (they didn’t include the $224 fuel surcharge), so if you are looking for a Spring Break Deal (travel good through end of April) this is an absolute winner with prices out the door ranging from $200 – $350 (Russian visa costs about $131 so be aware).

Must connect in Chicago to Moscow (no outbound flights on Mon/Wed and no inbound flights Tue/Thu).

This deal may not be around for long as it looks to be a mistake, so it is likely to get fixed shortly.

    Personally, I don’t think this is a mistake. I think the air plane is empty.
    Delta also is selling for $487 or LESS.

    When I got to AA site at about 3pm (6 am Friday EST) the minimum price for a trip to MSY was offered for $1000, which is very expensive for this time of year.

    Hello,
    A few questions,
    How long do you think this deal will last? Thru next week?
    Also how difficult is it to then get a visa for Russia? And how long does it take? I can hardly believe these prices. Thanks, Jameson
