Thanks, done. Changed.

Is this available on OW/AA ? Example date, please

Unfortunately, somewhat expensive MR at EQM > 5CPM

If I wasn't taking the family to Machu Picchu this Thanksgiving (I LOVE FT!!) I'd probably be joining you. Enjoy!

Disagree. 5CPM IS a MR these days.

Occasional same-day turn, too

Agree. With the way airlines are jacking up prices, this is not bad!

Fare valid Oct. 20 - Dec. 10.

Too late for me, early October is still over $700.

My question as well.... The best OW/AA RT fare I see in late October right now checking ITA is IB for $726ai JFK-MAD-IST. A good bit more than the $525 on UA.

[MR_MAMA]

ORD-JFK-IST is still good on DL depart 11/23

This is why many of the older timers don't do mileage runs anymore. Too easy to get miles otherwise,and flying solely to accumulate miles, except on mistake fares, is too expensive.

But everyone has their hobbies.

Now, if you aren't using your own money, that is another story...

Well, mileage runs are mostly for the MQMs, which you can't get easily except for annual credit card bonuses. And don't forget, if you are platinum, you get double miles! So it's kind of double dipping.

Good fare, thanks for posting. It's nice for those who would enjoy spending at least a weekend there. Can't imagine flying to IST and not leaving the airport though.
