UA: BOS-IAH nonstop $107 RT AI, 3.4 cpm

Appears to require a Saturday night stay. N fare, so will only credit to UA and no other *A partner. Dates starting late August through November. Matching a B6 sale here (HT for inspiration): http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/milea...-aus-43-a.html

Grabbed a IAH-ORD-BOS-IAH in late September for $117.

Availability on early Saturday morning flights is drying up fast!

Now to justify the $130+ for a Red Sox/Yankees ticket

Was able to burn a relatively low value certificate I had lying around on this that I thought I would never get to burn, so I'm in for one.

Thanks. I was out making a few quick stops and so I missed seeing the match. I was searching all morning for the AA match . Nobody else has come close on AUS though that I see. I'll be in for some absurd number.

Yeesh. $108 on AA is pretty incredible. EXP for $3564 if you want to fly 33 RTs

I'd be interested to see how many upgrades one clears on 33 BOS-DFW RTs .

You would think after the first 30 or so you'd be friendly enough with the gate agents to get some shena going your way!

If only it did not require an overnight. I need to burn a $60 UA cert for this. I also have a $67 AA paper cert id use on the DFW one but silly to spend overnight when I dont really need the EQM/RDM

I actually wanted to go to BOS in September. I was hoping I could add on a segment from LAS to IAH and get this for a lot lower than usual but no such luck, or at least I can't figure out how to do it.

There are many 1 day turns available for Sep/Oct dates with Friday or Saturday outbound from Boston and Sunday return from Houston but they seem to be drying up quickly.

Anyone see any 1-day turns available for the AA flights?

Shena very, very rarely makes her way over from Terminal A to Terminal B North .

9/6-9/7, that is all that I see ex-BOS. And you have to take the 5:55AM flight outbound from BOS, and a 6:20AM return from DFW to make it work.

I'm surprised (but happy) that UA matched B6. 2 of us for a long weekend in October for $213 R/T ... you can't beat that!
