UA: SMF-MCI $245, 4.8cpm

SMF to MCI $245-260 various days August-November, max cpm via IAH or IAH and SFO. 4.8cpm with one stop IAH, strectching it out via SFO with 500 mile min will bump it down a little lower. Should work in reverse MCI-SMF but did not check.

Looks like one can route SMF-IAH-CLE-MCI, at least on the outbound, for maximum miles, $254 ai with quite a bit of availability.

What tool are you using to get that routing to pop for you?

Checked on MCI-SMF, and came up with $258 with a routing through IAH. The only downside is a 50~ minute connection at IAH from an RJ > mainline..

If you're starting in MCI, you can bring the cpm down to under 4cpm if you use the MCI-PDX fare that's been around now for months...and it's actually a bit cheaper than $256

Saw $215 for MCI-PDX. Not too bad of a deal, considering the fares I've been seeing in KC..
