UA: ZFV-LAS (or LAS-ZFV) $66 o/w -> 2.7cpm

ZFV-EWR-LAS for $66 = 2.9cpm
ZFV-EWR-IAH-LAS for $70 = 2.7cpm

Routes via SFO (ZFV-EWR-SFO-LAS) will only credit for ZFV-EWR-LAS since EWR-SFO-LAS is a "direct" (note: *not* "non-stop") flight from EWR-LAS and share the same flight number (814).

N fare, 58.60 USD + Tax
Travel permitted Tue/Wed/Sat

2 transfers permitted in each direction

Routing:

Code:

TRAVEL MUST NOT BE NONSTOP                                                      
  1 * PHL/ZFV-CLT/WAS/EWR/CHI/CLE-HOU/DEN/CHI-LAS                               
  2 * ZFV-ZWI/ZVE/ZTF-CLT/WAS/EWR/CHI/CLE-HOU/DEN/CHI-LAS                       
  3 * PHL-HOU/DEN/CHI-LAS

So, if you find N class, you can squeeze in two transfers, however SFO is not allowed according to the fare rules...

Ahh, looks like EWR-SFO-LAS is the same flight number (814)...so I think you'll only get mileage for the direct EWR-LAS, right?

Unfair! Someone who wants US Div w/ this tix could try to split into 2 segs and when submitting to US website as a retro. Let's see what happens?

That routing is 3.1cpm (not bad, but not as good as the train options).

$20 well spent if you actually want to go to PHL airport for one reason or another

in any case too much to position from SMF/RNO. the $ of positioning flights on WN is the same as the transcons even with the WN sale.

if flying it as a one way ex-PHL, yes. this is hidden city ticketing, it's frowned upon by the airlines but if not conducted frequently, its unlikely to raise any flags against your account.
