Mileage Run Deals - AA/UA, US/DL/UA: LAX/SFO/SEA-SJU $333, 316 ai

Inspired by the SEA thread, I looked up LAX ^

AA is via MIA & DFW. 6762 miles (fare code Q)

UA/US via IAD & IAH 7233 miles (fare code S)

Test date May 7 or 8 on ITA. Have to keep looking, I am already traveling then :rolleyes:

lax-ord-mia-sju-mia-ord-lax 11,464 EQM's (includes dbeqm) 2.9cpm!

Is the DEQM AA only? Or is it also for UA?

But I'm pretty sure you'll need to over night it in either SJU or MIA, so that adds some $.

Also, if you have a discount code you can reduce the fare further.

Available from SFO for $354. Bookable on expedia.

Forgot to add with the ORD connection

Just Booked May5(red-eye)-May10

Thanks OP.

this fare is back, but for May dates - $325 a.i. on united


$334 for AA, DL, US


For AA:

lax-ord-mia-sju-mia-ord-lax 11,464 EQM's (includes dbeqm) 2.9cpm! (STILL ALIVE, depart may 1st week, come back may 2nd week)

I booked mine for September:

LAX-DTW-ATL-SJU outbound
SJU-ATL-CVG-LAX return

8,100+ EQMs

Using bump vouchers so makes it even sweeter. Not quite a MR as I'm staying a couple of nights but was able to get the Doubletree San Juan for $111/night.

The first class fares for LAX-SJU are running about $1,185 RT AI, including routing with the LAX-JFK transcon...not too shabby!

Is the DEQM AA only? Or is it also for UA?
The double EQM on LAX-ORD round trips started out on both, but even the original version was ended by UA on 1/31, while was to end on AA on 3/31. But AA has since extended it (DEQ11) to 6/30.

I don't keep up with everything UA (with the current merger mess, the UA forum seems overloaded!), so I cannot absolutely rule out that UA just added some new double EQM promo, but I sure haven't heard of one.

Btw, AA's DEQ11 promo is only valid for people whose addresses on file are in CA/IL/TX (and was/is in reaction to VX starting or expanding routes).

...

.04cents/mile :-)



:rolleyes:

Would be amazing if true. But you actually mean $0.04, or 4 cents, per mile.

I was trying to plug in

LAX-DTW-ATL-SJU outbound
SJU-ATL-CVG-LAX return

For september---I found dates on weekends 9/22-9/23 for 341.90 but its all gone, everything is 641 and up?

I plan to travel to LA--use a voucher

Great rate. ^

Trying to squeeze two in, for September and November.

Great rate, nice time of year but beware of hurricane season!

I snapped up this one. Did some creative routing from west coast - through JFK for same price.

LAX-ATL-SJU on DL

LAX-IAD-SJU on UA after a quick Kayak search for 3-5 day trips in Sept

Seeing some good fares from west coast to SJU starting in Sept. Example Oct 28-31. UA, DL, and US are offering this fare.

This is like Christmas. First the Lima flight for a trip I wanted to take and now this deal to attend my friends wedding. Deal works out of LAS so ill be booking in the next few hours. Thanks!

EDIT: That's what I get for viewing on my phone. I thought it was SJO, not SJU.

Not available from PDX (at least not yet) in case any PDXers were wondering...noticed the cheaper fares seem more widely available on DL rather than UA if that makes a difference to anyone....good fare though if you can find it.

Excellent.. can get 5cpm routing YEG-YVR-SFO-EWR-SJU and return... not bad, might use it for a vacation... Are there hurricanes in Sept/Oct for SJU?

AA is $323 ....these fares have been around for months fyi .. it never died out

i saw out 9/22 and in 9/24

Also, out 9/29 and in 10/31

from SFO to SJU and back

SEA-SFO-PHL-SJU-PHL-SFO-SEA, 9550 EQM for $316.40. Not bad.

have been looking how to position from ORD but no luck. anyone find a way?

Anyone know if the UA fare rules have a purchase by date? Trying to decide what dates to book, but will pull the trigger faster if I'm running out of time!

US has this flight at a good price with some good seats still for October. My question to you guys, is it worth taking with only about just under an hour from arrival into SJU to your departure back home to SFO. Case in point, most, if not all of the US flights arrive at roughly 1255pm and depart back to SFO at 240pm. Is that cutting it too close?

3 weekends in September and a few Wednesdays and Thursdays, same day turn around. Approximately 4.2c/m depending on route.

Is this the same fare that has been around for a few days?

It's been around for a few months.

is 54 minutes an adequate turnaround time in SJU? Not sure how they work customs, etc..

As long as you are a US Citizen, all you need to go to SJU is just a driver's license. There is no immigrations, visa, etc. as long as you are a US Citizen.

thanks!

thanks!

I travel there monthly, so I know. 54 minutes should be enough time, for a turn around, odds are is the same plane back, though I'm not sure on that.
You can buy stuff at the duty free, that is about the most you can do, and there is no need to go out of the secure area of the terminal. For duty free purchase, all you need is your return BP. Prices are very reasonable for booze, cigarettes, perfume, cosmetics. I have mixed feelings on jewelry.
Enjoy.

wow, great advice thanks!

Whenever I go on 45 minutes MR to SJU I board the same airplane with Don Q 4-pack of rum :)

I've done quick turns in SJU and not had a problem. It is essentially a domestic airport, and not as international as some expect. As long as you don't plan on leaving the terminal (and don't check bags) you should be fine with 1 hr plus between flights.

its been hoving around 663 from HNL to SJU if anyone cares

Especially, in all likelihood, you'll be on the same airplane leaving SJU as you were arriving.

Just booked SFO-EWR-SJU-IAD-SFO last weekend of Sept for $317. Not bad at all.

Just booked SFO-IAD-SJU-IAD-SFO Sept 7-8 for $317.

Yeah, I'm taking this flight on a US Air (operated by UA on 09/07-09/08) and on 10/01-10/03 (operated by US Air). Next year, I'm going to be doing the same day turn around flights and using them as a staple of my 2013 Gold qualification.

Is this on AA or UA?

Note: I found it on AA and the other price of $666 is from hell :-)

Booked SFO-JFK-SJU-MIA-LAX-SFO for the long weekend of 9/1
And the stuff was SWU upgradable for 3 passengers.

Bargain :)

I would think it'd be SWU upgradeable. Its all 'domestic' flights with sticker upgrade options. This is on AA, right?

Do you have AAdmirals Club membership or Amex Plat? Would be nice to have on that routing.

well, I would agree with you for all the flights except for SFO-JFK on AA24 (763) which is usually heavy loaded with passengers going to Europe (who potentially go there with SWU's), as well for MIA-LAX because it's going to LAX.

In fact, there were even 3 SWU upgradable seats for the trip, but I did not want to burn 2 SWU's for myself.

No, I'm neither AC member, nor I have Amex.

I'm doing SEA-LAX-ATL-SJU on the 2nd of Sep, then hopping over to Tortola for a few days. Snagged a $99 o/w + taxes STT-MIA-MCO.... all EQM's for my Alaska account.. yay!

I noticed that the Delta fares included a free stopover. Though the SLC-SJU-SLC fares were around $430rt, I had some orphaned legs on other trips that I needed to fill in anyway, so I got the following for $365rt ai for 8,002 miles. It only comes in at about 4.6 cpm, but I needed those outer segments anyway and they would have cost $259 on Southwest, bringing me down to an effective $106rt for the SJU portion and 1.3 cpm! Not to mention the slight possibility of an upgrade, guaranteed economy comfort, and secured gold status for next year! Thanks OP!

Will 40 min connection work coming in from PR? Are there customs involved at IAH?

No, it is purely domestic.

No, it is purely domestic.

so yes, it will work?

I don't like to do anything in 40 minutes at IAH but there is no customs since Puerto Rico is part of the United States, even though it has chosen not to become a state. Before you leave San Juan, there is something similar to what they do in Hawaii, some sort of agricultural check, but this does not impact your connection in Houston. Enjoy your trip.

September is Atlantic hurricane season in a big, big way so I am too traumatized to book this deal for myself but supposedly we are going to have a quiet year, so good luck and enjoy.

I booked it. $315 for 7700 EQM. I'll be doing my best OJ impression at IAH.

is it normal to apply one Regional and get confirmed for ENTIRE MR? Or am I just lucky? ;)

As long as you are a US Citizen, all you need to go to SJU is just a driver's license. There is no immigrations, visa, etc. as long as you are a US Citizen.

Even if you are not a US citizen, traveling US to SJU is like traveling from LAX to LAS. No customs, just an ID check at security. You arent leaving the country.

I am also interested to know this after CO/UA system merger.

This can still be found on UA for $315 ATI for SFO-SJU for most of September.

If all on one day, and you don't re-route through cities, it's a normal glitch :)
