UA SEA-MCO/FLL $205rt ai 3.0CPM DEC-EOS
Not currently a UA flyer, but thought this might be helpful.
G class fare valid Now-EOS for around $205, later months are around $220 rt ai. Multiple connections allowed; it looks like EWR connections earn the most mileage. Watch out for direct flights on SEA-MCO. EWR connections give around 3339 miles each way for just over 3.0 CPM.
Fares are also available on a one-way basis, with some December availability.
I think Tide_from_PAE really meant direct... direct (to be distinguished from non-stop) as in a single flight number "through flight" that would only earn EQM equivalent to the distance between the city pair as opposed to the EQM of the two separate legs (SEA-EWR-MCO).
Location: SEA/NYC. DL DM charter member, UA 1K, NW Plat ('03-'09), Marriott Plat. Always somewhere, never anywhere...

This.
There are two SEA-MCO "direct" flights on UA most days. Supposedly SHARES will now split out the segments for CPU purposes but not for mileage earning to my knowledge.

I was referring to the airline definition of direct meaning same flight number, but with stops. In addition to the SEA-UA Hub-MCO flights, I also noticed some flights that went UA Hub-Other UA Hub-SEA, so it pays to look at the flight numbers before booking.
