Nice find OP! I've been playing with a few dates and if you stretch it out to March, you can find some nice "same-day" (midnight-9pm) turns from SFO-IAD-CVG-IAD-SFO, etc. Other routings available but that seems to yield the most mileage

Routing rules are as follows:
1. SFO-SFO/LAX/HOU/DEN-WAS/HOU/DEN/CLE/CHI-CVG
2. SFO-WAS/HOU/DEN/CLE/CHI-CVG

As always, YMMV!

Thanks!
Just booked a weekend trip SFO-ORD-CVG-ORD-SFO (Fri redeye, Sun return) to Bockfest. Not a MR per se, but a good fare nevertheless.

Awesome. I live in Lexington and will be up there for Bockfest with friends, then I fly out to Los Angeles for two weeks on the $160 fare from last week.

Seeing how much alcohol costs in Norway these days, isn't there a better place for a beer festival than Stavanger?

Nice find! Too bad positioning flight to CVG costs $600 from PHL! I wish there were more MRs from PHL.

Haha, good catch! Would have been an awesome MR though!

Just realized that the red-eye is on the night of the cut over to the SHARES system. Hopefully the chaos won't be too bad. Or, maybe it's an opportunity to earn some more miles in compensation?

Fare appears to be gone. A big thanks to the OP, you helped me book the tail end of a positioning flight from the west coast. Would not have done it without your post!
