May want to adjust your title to include which airline this fare applies to. Would be helpful to others.

Great find.

The fare is for UA.
Sample date: Jan 15

But you can do SAN-SFO-IAH-ABQ-IAH-LAX-SAN on Jan 22 (7:27 pm) back to SAN at 11:39 pm on Jan 23 for $120. That's about 2.18 cpm if my calculation is right.

a variation on this fare works ex-SMF too, but the CPM isn't as good and the connection in IAH is tough to get in later 2013 (didn't check Jan/Feb). good find.

i grabbed one for May flying SMF-LAX-ABQ-DEN-SMF for $137, 5.2cpm, but applied a random $65 refund ecert I had laying around to cut it down to ~3cpm. for me the part that made me do it was the fact that i can depart at 10am and be back at 8pm on the same day turn. not bad for 2600 PQMs.

I was sure I put the airline in the title. I remember typing it. I think I may have erased it. Sry.
Thanks to whoever fixed it.

Looks like this fare was pulled, not seeing it any longer. Drats, really wish I would have booked yesterday.

UA: STL-ABQ also $111-$114 RT ai

Fares appear to also be good for several dates in Jan. and Feb. with routings through IAH, DEN or ORD.

Can also route STL-ORD-DEN-ABQ for $121 (3.1 cpm).

I am sure the more creative FTers out there can build a heck of a nice MR by combining the STL and SAN/SMF deals.

I've updated the title regarding the STL fare.
Is the SAN fare definitely sold out / gone? If it is bookable, the title can be updated again.

Just use the Alert "!" icon to report a post and request the change, if it's confirmed that SAN-ABQ is still there somewhere.

For FTers considering to take advantage of this just remember STL is an all UAX station with the exception of SFO which is an A319/320 however in the winter/early spring it isn't operating daily.
