Decent cpm and quite some miles for a single trip but will be brutal in WHY! :td:

stay in the airport transit hotel -
 
did the MR last Sept for $590+-, same itinerary. overnighted at the transit hotel and never even left the airport or went through immigration. be sure you make a reservation, though. they sell out regularly.
If you get there early enough, they have a health club/pool that is included.

enjoy your trip.

How did you get such a good price?

DL2SXM Jan 14, 2013 11:36 am

you only have to do 5 of those trips for Diamond status, and at a pretty reasonable cost, just a shade over 5 grand. Anyone game? One MR to SIN a week for 5 weeks! :D

I must complement you on the very good routing. We saw USA-SIN much cheaper last year I think in the $600-$800 range. What's hurting this is the high base fare.

If I were a DL flier I'd be checking for other major INTL gateways to see if a lower fare could be found. I presume the routing rules would carry over to other US departure points.

I tried to book this on Delta.com, and was able to find the outgoing leg but not the return. Should I be booking it somewhere else? I'm sort of new to these advanced routings...

Thanks!^

Csfing: outstanding routing & pricing!
Looking for good pricing for LAX to NRT in late June when the kids are out of school.
If you see any great fares for LAX-NRT or can suggest best sofware for me to check, please advise. Thanks!:)

Very interesting, OP. Thanks!

Note you can do a same day turn from NYC for 22,030 mi @ $1,099, or 5CPM. A bit too high given my redemption ability on DL (if this was down around 3-4 CPM I could make it work with my PM bonus).

Mbenz Jan 14, 2013 7:06 pm

Efficient deal. I may do one on UA, about the same $ but originating on the East Coast USA so only a out 20k miles.

To get the return leg you will have to have it search out the flights by schedule rather than price, if you take the same days a week or two later the price is higher. If you have any problems please let me know.

Flying from west coast gives you about 5000 more miles, get most miles from SFO, a few less than LAX and doing it thru ATL give less. Did SMF ATL NRT SIN NRT ATL SMF in Dec For a MR and got 24,532 MQM in 72 hrs and saved driving to SFO, is about 786 miles less but I got my ticket with FlexPerks points, 70,000, and trip didn't cost any $. FlexPerks is the old NW VIsa card which I Use whenever I can't use AMX. The other benefit of that card is any charitable donations are worth triple point so remember for your donations tun use that card if you can.

Csfing1 Jan 14, 2013 8:27 pm

June is going to be higher fare, lowest fare are Feb and early Dec a week after Thanksgiving.

I can't find anything anywhere near this fare for February on DL.com or ITA. Searching JFK with a same day turn. The same day turn, or even next day turns are all showing me $2,500+

Any suggestions? If possible, I may try two of these in February.
