Mileage Run Deals - UA:DCA-SJU ***oneway*** $115 ~3.5cpm

routing thru IAH on UA for maximum mileage

Example - 9/3

I'm also seeing a direct return on most Mon-Sats for $109 on Jet Blue, and connecting flights for $114 on US Airways (Charlotte, 6.35 cpm), Delta $116 (ATL 5.43 cpm, JFK 6.3 cpm, ATL-CVG 4.97cpm), $116 on AA (MIA, 5.9 cpm).

booked sept 7th going on UA ($114.20)and sept 10th back on US ($114.20) for the Mrs and I.

DCA-IAH-SJU; SJU-CLT-PHL-DCA
get some miles and a vacation as well.

just curious, UA still gives the 500 minimum to US flights or no? If not there is a SJU-CLT-DCA that gets in earlier.
I am seeing conflicting info online. On UA's page its does not have it listed as it did but I saw a recent post that goes against that.

thanks for the heads up.

It is supposed to change and we will no longer earn 500 mile minimum on US, but the system has not been changed to reflect that, so we will continue to earn 500 miles minimum on US flights in the meantime.

Maybe it's different by tier, but as Premier Silver on United, you Do NOT get 500 mile minimums for US Airways flights posting to United mileage.

As a UA 1K, I stopped receiving the 500 min on US a LONG time ago. Suspect it was to create incentive to stick with UA (where the 500 min applied). Worked with me - for a while. ;)

I see flights out of NYC at $129 each way with 3400 miles with 3.5cpm.

What date(s) are you seeing that fare?
Lowest I see is $156.

I saw it for sept 3rd. UA pulled it but other airlines are still matching at $123 from NYC airports

A thousand thank yous for this, OP.

Will be returning with wife to St. Regis Bahia Beach for a one-year anniversary thanks to this great deal. Outbound on the new B6 nonstop DCA-SJU $109, return on AA via MIA $116. Outstanding deal.

Thanks for the heads up on this!!

Right now I can only find DCA-IAH/SJU and then a nonstop SJU-IAD return on UA in September. But still 4750 miles for half the cost of a ticket from WAS-LAX is a good deal for me! And its Puerto Rico!

Can anyone still find returns that also go through Houston instead of back through NYC airports? I am NOT a fan of going from NYC to WAS by air on a turbo-prop,

Hi, I am new to this and i searched flights in ITA as a guide then I went to Continental/United but somehow the price is higher than ITA and the schedule is not the same as ITA. Do you guys book it via live agents to specify the exact flights shown in ITA site?

Thank you.

Yeah, historically I believe the beginning of Sept is more likely than later in the month IIRC. Definitely pick yourself up some DonQ Limon. Goes down like water. Much less bitter than Bicardi.

I always thought Bicardi tasted like Lemon Pledge.
