AA: JFK-BOS-DFW-LAS-LAX-BOS-JFK for $258 - 6728 Miles 3.8cpm

Hey everyone, new at posting deals, but I've been searching and booking a couple mileage runs and I came across this today so wanted to share.

This is all day flying on Saturday Dec 6th with the redeye back and a morning 7th flight.

The routing is JFK - BOS - LAS - LAX - BOS - JFK and it's 5838 but if you add the 500 mile minimum it comes to 6728 miles for $258

Below are links for what I found and it doesn't come up on AA.com but you are able to purchase on Orbitz.

good itinerary and nice cpm, OP

Another possible MR though not as compact as yours is the following:
AA: BOS-DFW-LAX-SEA-LAX-BOS for $306

This is slightly over 7000 miles as well, with a cpm of 4.3
Available several dates in December but may require an overnight

found something similar for more miles but your CPM is better.

I'm actually doing this one that you posted earlier, but I got it for $315. Higher CPM than what I posted here, but more miles and gives me 4 hours in Vegas which is enough time to play some blackjack.

I actually didn't purchase the trip I posted above, because I'm hesitant to book through Orbitz and not directly through AA with winter weather conditions possible, but since I found it and it's a great CPM, I'm sure someone will be happy to use it.

How do you find these on AA? Multi-city search?

My wife and I just booked this AA-heavy version of the BOS transcon:

12/9: PDX-DFW-LGA-BOS (two AA segments, followed by a US hop)
12/10: BOS-ORD-PHX-PDX (also two AA segments with US at the end)
6820mi for $303.20 a/i, 4.4cpm

Plenty of alternative routing options are available for that day, some of which offer even better CPM, but we had the added challenge of finding something that my wife could fly to earn MVP Gold with Alaska (5311 MQM in this case), and also help me progress with my Trial to Preferred challenge on US Airways. With that in mind, it took some serious grinding to end up with this Goldilocks-worthy routing (not too much US that she doesn't need, and not too much AS for me), so we're happy with how it all came together.
