UA: BOS/PVD-CLD (Carlsbad, CA) R/T $228ai - [email protected] w/500mi mins. Same day turn
Available Tuesdays throughout March and a few Wednesdays in April. Route BOS/PVD-EWR-LAX-CLD to maximize mileage with 500mi minimums.
6908mi @ 3.30cpm with 500mi minimums
PVD is an option, although you'd have to be on the 5:45am to EWR. BOS has later departures available, plus I've even snagged a late morning CPU to EWR as a silver this year.
I think I'll be doing this 3/4-5 staying overnight; Avis rental car at CLD is $35 after taxes (there is also a Hertz).

SAN?
Why mention "San Diego," since that airport's code is SAN, not CLD (Carlsbad), and isn't part of the itinerary?
BTW, it is effectively impossible to miss the "connection," since one arrives and departs on the same plane, and one just enters the little terminal, pivots, and reboards the plane.

i copy and pasted flight info as a quote directly from ita matrix (google), which lists CLD as "San Diego McClellan-Palomar, CA (CLD)". their quote - not mine.

There are three (3) airports in the Washington, DC area, and sometimes a search on "WAS" will bring up one, two, or three of them (DCA, IAD, and BWI). But they are in three different states or jurisdictions and 25 or more miles apart, Same thing with the NYC area airport which may come up with a "NYC" search, though there is no NYC airport as such, but rather EWR, JFK, LGA. So why not be specific and note Carlsbad (CLD) for Carlsbad (CLD) to avoid any possible confusion?

We'd love to hear your thoughts and feedback. Use this form to let us know how we can improve our products.
while you're at it, kayak calls the airport "San Diego, CA - Carlsbad-Palomar (CLD)", so you might want to contact them by using this form.

Mine definitely isn't the same plane just FYI. I am using a different routing however because of where I'm coming from (MCI-DEN-LAX-CLD). Still a creative option to get home for less which I thank OP bringing to my attention. That CLD flight is basically empty so I don't feel real bad about it (it might get cancelled anyway)
