Mileage Run Discussion - (FARE GONE) AA/UA: SJC-BOS/MHT/PVD $229ai 3.6cpm

Same day turns available through Dec '12.

SJC-BOS example through IAH at 6380 (3.6cpm) looks to be the best value (same day). AA has matched via DFW (3.8cpm). Works in reverse.

wao nice find

matrix was nice enough to show me a ~3.5cpm route for Dec15 on UA

You're welcome. BTW nice routing!

Nice find.
Also can do BOS-SFO-LAX-SJC for max miles.
Too bad I can't find same day turn without lodging which I can use for weekend MR.

I did SJC-IAH-ORD-BOS and back. Thanks! It's hard to find good ones out of SFO/SJC/SMF. :)

Works MCO-MHT and MHT-MCO on UA as well. Many dates. $191.2ai rt.

Thanks OP. Was able to book holiday travel in December to see family. MHT has become a tougher low fare nut to crack as traffic there has dropped over the last 10 years. I remember when $165 ai rt fares were customary. MHT needs "Big Dig Part 2" to stop all the leakage to BOS.

Thanks OP, this one suits my needs really well.

BTW, $208 RT BOS-SAN on AA.

anyway to make this work w SFO?
Thanks

Got ya beat! :D
$225.80 for the same itinerary.

Great find... So far snagged two in 2013 using some VDB vouchers, both priced at $227.30, came in at 3.39 and 3.26 CPM respectively, still have $500 in vouchers...

6688 PQM: SJC-LAX-IAD-BOS-ORD-IAH-SJC
6962 PQM: SJC-LAX-EWR-BOS-EWR-IAH-SJC

I really like the first one as I can uses single RPU or 20K miles to upgrade the whole itinerary. No go on the second though, but I knew it beforehand.

I was able to take advantage of this. Thanks. I try to get to Boston twice a year or so, but it's been harder with extremely high prices out of SFO. While SJC is a bit inconvenient for me, it's well worth the trip with the savings

anyway to make this work w SFO?
Thanks

Nope. While SFO is in the fare routing rules SFO-SJC is not served non-stop so it wont work

Awesome find. I already booked one to BOS through IAH for December 7 - 9 ($218 = 3.4 cents/mile), and I might book another one to PVD in October or November.

OM

Scored three tickets. One ticket is in late May. :) I get to visit Maine. Finally!

Thanks OP, I could not resist. While hubby attends a seminar in Temecula, I will do this MR in November:

CLD-LAX-EWR-PVD-CLE-LAX-CLD $228.80 a.i.

UA shows only 5,379 PQM for this itinerary; shouldn't it be 6,547 PQM with minimum segments?

Nice find, OP!

Great find! Thanks OP - I'm in for one - March 4/5 2013 - SJC-LAX-EWR-BOS-IAH-LAX-SJC for $237 a/i

Have a 30 minute connection in EWR on the outbound that I'm very nervous about but hey, that's what a MR is about so yay!!

Thanks again :)

Same day turns available through Dec '12.

Thanks OP! Just booked Dec MR, SJC-LAX-IAD-BOS-IAH-LAX-SJC for $234 & lots of miles + my BF is doing same for her 1st MR!

Dead? For Sept '12 through Mar '13, I'm seeing the best fare as $341 via UA on matrix and .bomb.
