Fare has increased, up to $235 or so, around a 17% increase. Still is possible for 3.5 cpm.

UA: BOS-PDX ~$199 RT AI, 3.0 cpm possible

Thanks to CokeandTaco for the heads up. I'm too busy working and packing for a trip this weekend to search on my own right now.

Best open routing is BOS-SFO-PDX and reverse. One transfer allowed. Some availability for a slightly better cpm using codeshares on US metal BOS-PHX-PDX. Only departures on December 10th and 11th available before the end of 2012, but then mostly wide open in January 2013. BOS-IAH-PDX both ways possible for the 3.0 cpm but requires an overnight in PDX. Paging CDKing .

Is there the same flight number on two of those segments? BOS-EWR-PDX wouldn't be too bad either with a 500-mile elite minimum.

Thanks for the paging. Ill see if i can find anything. I'm already booked to 60K on UA. Not to mention 2x MR's to PDX on AS and several MR on BOS-SAN on AS.

I wonder if AS will drop its cyber monday week sale price

Also beware. Many EWR and SFO connections share a flight number

I had a hard time finding availability either for same day turns. Didn't see much of anything for routings via LAX. The difference is relatively small between IAH/LAX/SFO. I'm assuming upgrades are more likely via IAH as well.

i try to avoid same day turn as i sleep better in pdx than on a plane. oh well. heading to pdx in 2 hours on LGA PDX deal in Jan. this is the last of my 7 trips
LGA-PDX/SLC. it is a much better deal to do PDX because the car rental is so mch cheaper in PDX comparing to SLC, a slightly more miles too.

I am going to miss PDX after this trip since my 17 trips in 2013 has no PDX!

I didnt like the tight LAX connections. I also figure IAH would be better eupdgrade odds. IAD is coming up as an option some days as well. Ive been messing around with 5/5 departure but cannot find a perfect one

home in BTV, had to book as many BTV SLC trip for 179 as my schedule fit since i have never seen a< 3cpm out of BTV... also, work has a more demand that flying in and out of BTV is thr most efficient.

book 4 more BOS SLC and use megabus for positioning.
it will keep my weekends amused.

Isn't most of the LAX-PDX on Skywest? I always try to connect at LAX whenever possible on AA though, I've never had any issues on the LAX end.
