MilesBuzz! - Looking for DFW-LAS flight

Looking for a single economy ticket from DFW to LAS. Dates/times are pretty specific...flying out July 19th in the afternoon, coming back July 21st in the afternoon/evening. Here is what I have:

Membership Rewards: 125k
Ultimate Rewards: 5k (but about $200 away from the spending required for 50k bonus)
BA Avios: 27k
AAdvantage: Not enough to make any difference here

First thought was BA, but no availability at all. I double checked the AA site and nothing in sAAver. I also checked United (50k miles), Delta (40k miles), Air Canada (no availability), Alaska (no availability) and Virgin America (14,700 points=29,400 MR). Cash flight is about $380. Are there any other options I should be checking? I also tried BA to PHX, DEN and a few other cities between DFW and LAS but no luck on anything. Thanks!

What does a RT ticket price out at?;)

$380 or so on kayak. That seems to be the likely method I'll end up using, but was hoping I could find something for 25k miles/points or less.

Transfer UR to Southwest?

Transfer UR to Southwest?

Yes thanks, I always forget about Southwest. Just checked and it is 30,719 so that is probably the best non-cash option so far (since Virgin flies to SFO then back to LAS).

**Update** Oops, looks like Southwest, United and anything requiring UR is out. After perusing through the Sapphire preferred thread, looks like the 50k bonus points take two statements to post. Looks like it's an MR partner or cash.

Take a look at spirit. I bought RT for $79 back in january.

Does that price include all the ancillary fees and other tackons spirit puts on?

That is awesome! Unfortunately for me, base price is a little over $300 for my dates. Good to know cor future flight possibilities though.

Be cautious with this airline, I may be mistaken but I believe they just started charging $100 for using the overhead bins.

EDIT: if you purchase beforehand it's only $50+/-.

Serious? I had carry-on backpack (big one) and had no problems bringing it in. I would not fly them if its $100 fee.

If it fits under your seat, there is no charge. Otherwise, you pay $30 online or $45 at the airport.
