Here’s one for the flight enthusiasts…
Error Fare flights from New York to Manila, Philippines, then return from Beijing, China to Chicago for only $319 roundtrip.
We have found that you can depart from New York and return to San Francisco for $275.
Appears to be a self-dump.
However, what makes this trip unique is that the outgoing flight consists of layovers at 6 different Pacific islands (Honolulu, Majuro, Kwajalein, Pohnpei, Truk, Guam).
This particular flight (UA154) is known as the Island Hopper.
It may be possible to depart/return to cities other than New York and Chicago.
Have a play around and see what you find.
Although the layover times are way to short to experience each island (there is an overnight layover in Honolulu), the view from the sky is breathtaking and is a common feature on travel bucket lists.
Make sure you get a window seat!!
WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND YOU DELAY MAKING FURTHER PLANS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.
BECAUSE THIS IS AN ERROR-FARE, THERE IS ALWAYS THE SMALL CHANCE THE AIRLINE MAY CANCEL THE TICKET.
