Mileage Run Discussion - (FARE GONE) DL: SEA<-> BOS $181 ai (few dates)

On Delta
Dates May 3-4 for example. route through any Delta hub.

Thanks. Wonder if any *a will match

UA/CO match~~~~~~~~~~

OP/Mods: also works in the other direction. Edit the topic to SEA<->BOS.

Booked BOS-SLC-SEA friday 5/13 evening flight, SEA-MSP-BOS Sat/Sun 5/14 red-eye, ai 181 USD, 3.4cpm. Too bad the Sun/Mon red-eye was gone on this fare.

Co/ua pleeez match!

Hot damn! And including Friday! Maybe, at least for this route, things aren't as "firm" as we would be led to believe...... ^

I'm fetching $300+ on flexible dates :( Although some earlier availability in April still for $181 ai

Here are the fare rules, a couple of odd things in there. Books into to T and the fare is $131++
ITA shows that it is still available for a few late April and early May dates. Will be tough to find without a powerful tool like ITA month search.

I am on that CO SAN run :(. I would prefer it to be on DL out to the west since I fly mainly DL and US out of WAS/BOS. I know I could earn the miles on US but still, I'm on a mission with DL!

I'm on the 6am sat morn. CO flight out of BOS to SAN with a redeye return.

Fare is still showing on EF but the 5/7-8 date is gone now. I cant find any other days available on ITA at the price. I wonder what the odds are more T will open up?

I'm on the 6am sat morn. CO flight out of BOS to SAN with a redeye return.

Afternoon out and red-eye back. I'm in F as i had some CO miles to spare for the upgrade

ITA is still showing SEA-SFO-BOS with plenty of availability in early May for 2.7cpm on UACO

Is the fare up after you enter CC info? The flight i found comes up on dL.com but ITA now shows it gone.

I'm already booked at 181 through dl.bomb, didn't try with the L fare.

OP: Thank you! How long have you seen this up? I didn't see it at least two days ago. That was a reeeally short window.

I cant do midweeks but theres some CO BOS-IAH-SEA-DEN-BOS for as low as 2.9 cpm

Oh man, got really excited to see a MR from BOS-SEA, but I need the 2nd week of June =(

I'll keep my eyes peeled

I'm on the 6am sat morn. CO flight out of BOS to SAN with a redeye return.

I just completed the UACO SAN-BOS MR. Redeye to Bos (via IAD) with same day return (via DEN). Remind me not to do this again unless I can get upgraded to first at booking.

I used my excess miles to upgrade that trip for next month. We need more good DL transcon fares
