Mileage Run Discussion - GRU-IAH-MTY-IAH-UIO-IAH-GRU $2k on CO!

I got this for US$2.000 which I think is a good price as this is a lot of flying and also it means I'm flying *A and I'm currently a *Gold card holder so I'll earn 18 to 19 thousand miles for flying this itinerary, what do you guys think?

If it is in C then it is a good fare. ;)

Not a MR at that price for sure. Are you just going on vacation somewhere or are all these same day turns?

If it was on C the ticket would be booked, the guy that books everything to me usually checks on the Y fare for me to clear the HR and then I get the C fare and clear the HR again, you may have noticed that I'm going to work and maybe get some rest @IAH or just do the xmas shopping and save a couple hundred bucks....

A bit over 15k miles, according to Great Circle Mapper... ok, but far from great!

A lot less then I thought...... well, I have to work anyway and I'm not paying actually the cherry on the top of the cake is that with this miles I'll keep the Onepass Platinum....

Horrible mileage run.

Booked in business class? Great.

Booked in economy class? Terrible.

Considering the mileage that the OP is expecting to earn, this is a back-of-the-bus fare.

cmte_valle you can do MUCH better than this with perhaps a nested set of tickets or something. $2K is ridiculously high for this itinerary, unless it's last minute (and therefore in a high booking class) or something.

I just paid $2300 on UA Z fare LGA-IAD-GRU-GIG-GRU-IAD-LGA

Booked in business class? Great.

Booked in economy class? Terrible.


Or,

Booked for $2.00 (two dollars), fantastic!

Booked for $2,000 (two-thousand dollars), horrible.

Moved to the Mileage Run Discussion forum, considering this is more of a discussion than a 'Deal'.

(If it's booked into J or better, I think we'd all agree it's a 'Deal'!)
