Dead
Please do not post this when it’s not true. I booked in January after you claimed that this was “dead”, and a friend booked four tickets for his family in July after I did.
How did you do it, bec I have tried several times and its dead.
THANKS!
The link doesn’t work.
Cannot make this work 🙁
Tried the link and it goes to a 404 page, and that is before making any edits. Even with edits with the dates, I want the link goes 404 and doesn’t work. 🙁
It’s gone now 🙁
Just booked. Link worked in Chrome but not Safari on my iPhone.
Got to the payment screen on one booking, put in the card number, got the “flights are sold out” message.
Tried the following day and it worked. E-ticket number already in email.
Try this URL, changing dates and passenger counts as above:
https://www.delta.com/flight-search/search?itinSegment%5B0%5D=0:G:JFK:NBO:KQ:3:JAN:16:2019:0&itinSegment%5B1%5D=1:G:NBO:JFK:KQ:2:

Still works as of 9pm EST. Let’s hope it holds.
Thanks
I have modified the link for May 24th to June 1st for JFK to NBO to no avail. Can anyone please help me put together the link for the above dates?
Thanks
@kazy k – nothing cheap for those dates.
Couldn’t seem to get the $242 ones to work, was anyone able to actually purchase those? I could purchase on the slightly higher $378 ones but had problems with the lowest fare.
Looks dead now. I tried several dates found in ITA. At $378 it’s still a good dead if you can still purchase it.
delta processing error on checkout
THIS $243 FARE ISN’T GONE. I found some dates using ITA in March and April. I also found multiple $273 and $388 fares which is still a great deal. See the link below for example:
https://www.delta.com/flight-search/search?itinSegment%5B0%5D=0:G:JFK:NBO:KQ:3:MAR:4:2019:0&itinSegment%5B1%5D=1:G:NBO:JFK:KQ:2:

@Thami – yes, its on ITA, but were you able to get pass the payment screen?
You’re right. Keep getting message saying “Oh no! We’re sorry, but we are unable to process your request. Please try again later.
If this problem persists, please call Delta at 888-750-3284.”
Tried a few different dates. Will try again later today.
Still alive. And the same low fares available to connecting flights to Addis Ababa at $366, Johannesburg at $409, Cape Town at $477, Mumbai at $341 and so much more.
I also just found one to Bangkok for $377! JFK-NBO-BKK!
@ten – once again, where you able to buy it and get pass the payment screen? yes, it shows up on ITA but at least from all readers, none have been able to get pass the payment screen.
How do I add to BOM? I keep getting “no flights available “.
This worked for me the first night it was posted around 11:30pm EST at $380.I was not able to get the URL right for South Africa, but this one worked.
Trip was just canceled. I booked for March
Delta just canceled my tickets too. Drats!
Delta cancelling all flights. Bastards.
File a DOT complaint form online. Probably not much will come out of it, but you’ll never know.
They cancelled mine as well. = (
Yup. Flights are being cancelled.
If your ticket was cancelled, file a DOT complaint form. Probably not much will come out of it but you’ll never know.
RIP screw Delta
My Flights were canceled today. Anything go be done?
