Another sign of a Star Alliance response to low Skyteam fares is a $442 round trip economy fare from San Francisco or $425 Atlanta to Moscow. A few days ago this SFO-SVO route was $484 with Delta/Skyteam. Yesterday the round trip fare to Moscow from Chicago was as low as $354 on Skyteam airlines. Lowest fares include Air Canada flights. For $30 more round trip you can fly Lufthansa and United in more direct routes to Europe.

I do not see these low United/Star Alliance fares from other Delta hubs like Minneapolis, Detroit or Salt Lake City. Star Alliance has low fares to Istanbul around $530 from New York JFK and Newark. Skyteam is around $565 round trip from New York.

Departure Dates: August to March 2017 Sunday to Wednesday. About 90% of dates look available (7am PT). Dec 8-Jan 8 not offered at low fare.
