Mileage Run Deals - UA: PHX-ELP $125 2.1 cpm

New low price on this one. Pricing doesn't quite match the WN price but the date restrictions do. Assume it has to be purchased today. Can be done as a redeye without an overnight if originating in Phoenix. Matrix seems to think 25minutes is a legal connection in ELP.

GREAT MR fare thanks, lowest in a long time. Should be used by many.

Guess this post will make you the favorite FTer of many US elites!! :D

Great find, OP!! Too bad I'm based East coast!!

I'm seeing those exact flights price at $175.30 all-in now. Still showing them booking into G, with fare GA21FN. Am I missing something?

No, UA just pulled the sale. Usually the G availability vanishes -- sometimes the fare just goes up. Maybe you got it after the fare rose but before they pulled availability? If the original was $125ish and 2.1cpm, $175 is still MR territory...

$175 is still 2.9 cpm.

Very nice find, fenx! WTG! ^

UA matched base fares with US/WN. This routing has been posted a few times which I can't take credit for being the first to notice (BryanIAH) though the base fares have crept up with all the across the board increases.

I would naive not to think someone on Wacker Dr. took offense to my post and gave it the yank a few hours before the WN sale expired.

Just booked this one.

So booked a MR at 5.5 cpm? :(

This was a steal at $175......

I just booked one of these r/t's ex-PHX in early December for $176, there were plenty available that first week including same-day-turns. Still under 3cpm
