We believe this is available from most cities except Delta (Atlanta, Detroit, Minneapolis, Cincinnati, Memphis, Salt Lake) and United hubs (New York/Newark, Washington D.C., Chicago, Houston, Denver and San Francisco). So you should check your city even if we did not list it. These are available from even small cities like Fargo, North Dakota. So it is a pretty wide sale.

When looking for this fare out of Vegas LAS, I found no United flights. However, I am finding Delta for 606 to Madrid. (If that helps anyone)
I tried to use the matrix, even though i clicked “See calendar of lowest fares”, it still request me to put a date, but when I picked “nov 12, 2015”, it showed not ticket, same I selected Oct 12, 2015. Any suggestions?
