Ok, 1st MR post, I'm not sure if this deal should be merged somewhere else but it's my very first MR and I just locked it in and wanted to share.

Possibly one way. I'm going to try and turn one of these into a weekend trip to Seattle. The fares seem to work for some Fri-Sun dates with an overnight on the return.

Nice find! Great to see a good MR itinerary out of PWM.

Ok, it's official. I have a problem. I locked in a similar MR for December, same CPM over 5 legs. This will ensure I make Platinum Medallion.

You're probably the only platinum in the area. I usually have a shot at an upgrade on PWM-ATL as an AS elite!

Not the only one-Diamond
This is a great find. It is almost impossible to get any great MR runs out of PWM or good fares with Delta. Usually you have to use BOS.

That would be the dream! I still book pretty low fare classes though so I'm not going to get excited until the day comes where I actually get an upgrade... Actually, I'm only Silver right now but will become Gold first week of September once I fly to Vegas. Then these two MR's I booked will make me Platinum.

Thanks! Too many other costs involved trying to do a MR from BOS so glad I could find these....

PWM isn't great for mileage running, but if you live north of Exit 7, PWM is probably still a better option when you factor in driving time, airport waiting time and parking.

I'm new to the whole game so these are the first MR's I'm ever doing and happy I was able to find something respectable out of PWM. I live in town Portland so I'm a quick drop off or cheap cab ride away from PWM.

Cheers! Maybe I'll see you at the airport or on a plane at some point
