View Full Version : MR using e-fares

I was thinking about doing a faux-mileage run using UA e-fares by purchasing two tickets that essentially come out to nested tickets that create a same day round trip on two separate days
for examle

A-B (ticket 1, Day 1)
B-A (ticket 2, Day 1)
A-B (ticket 2, Day 2)
B-A (ticket 1, Day 2)

This is the only time I've thought of trying this- anyone have experience doing something like this or come across any issues (especially during weather/irrops)?

Not a true MR but it gets me some time with my girlfriend for a few days on relatively low fares.

Thx
Pete

it is fine if it doesn't violate any fare rules, the most common 1 being minimum or sat nite stay requirements....read the rules.....good luck....

The fare rules on the weekend e-Saver deals have minimum stay requirements that you'd be circumventing with such a plan. Probably not a good idea.

As others have noted...e-fares do impose somewhat of a minimum stay. Flying from WAS, I know that I can select either a same-day return e-fare for Saturdays, or a domestic leaving fri/return mon, or leaving sat, return tues. Either way, I see a Sunday having to be part of Ticket 1, to draw from your example.

Unless you find a way to nest two same-day return e-fares within each other - now that's timing!
