good fare and thanks for sharing. i can't find the JFK routing for the $208 number, but i am seeing some scattered LAX backtracking for good earning potential. positioning to PHX has gotten more expensive unfortunately

Whew! I am D!O!N!E!!!!! with MRs this year...and this is probably the only year I will do them like I have been.

I just booked SIX of those PHX-MIA runs.....May, Aug, Sep, and Oct....lol...my fingers are worn out from typing so fast! Haha!

I didn't want to stay the night at any hotel or airport...and even got a couple LAX-ATL 767 with the BE flatbed seats....so I hope I get an UG as I will be DM by then!

Anyway....The most expensive one was 3.89CPM....


Howwwwweverrr......I completely DEMOLISHED my previous record of Lowest CPM for a MR with Coke & Taco's latest findings as three of them were booked as follows:

PHX-DTW-LGA-MIA-JFK-PHX, which is an astonishing 6,512 MQMs for $212ai.....and only 3.25CPM!!!!


THANK YOU AGAIN, COKE & TACOoOoOoOoOoOoo!!!! (I hope I get to buy you a drink someday Sir!)

Yeah, excellent!!! Just about freaking time!!! I wait for a long time. Long overdue. I complained about ticket fares, but I couldn't go. FLL is too expensive. FLL was over $320 RT.

Are you happy now?

WHEN did you book a DL MIA-LAX 767 flight with flatbed seats? I cannot find any dates with that Delta flies a 767 on that route. Are you talking about ATL-LAX?

My apologies....as I forgot to include the ATL part of that.

So, yes, the LAX-ATL route has 36 BE seats and I no have four of my MRs with that route.

Also, I may or may not have accidentally impulse-purchased a few more of these for May and November....LoL

I'm giving it all I got for MRing this year to bank up some miles and GUCs. I'll be DM by June...then the following year I'll roll over about 50k MQMs....make PL....and then the following year I'll be a kettle or FO.

I'm not raising any fuss about leaving Delta; I will still fly them...but I just don't travel for work at all...so all of my traveling is for fun.

I'll still search for cheap MR fares to use as an excuse to vacation internationally, but oh well.

This whole MR thing is pretty damn fun.

For the record I booked 8 of these.

Well you can go through DTW instead. You can do it. It's your choice.

It was fun while it lasted and gave incredible mileage for the price, but fares have crept up via $280 to $340 for MIA-PHX RT.
