AA: MIA-LAX $177 r/t, 4684 EQM, 3.77 cpm
Hi all, long time lurker, first time poster (in the mileage run section). Saw this deal, thought someone who needs a quick run could use it. Play around on google flights in Jan and Feb for MIA-LAX r/t, you can find some sub-$200 fares. I found one for 2/5 & 2/6 (requires an overnight stay, but what can you do).
How'd I do? If this is crappy, would love to hear why and learn from my mistakes. If it's good, enjoy! :-)

Very few dates available and most of the best MR candidates route through DEN on the return so you fly a CRJ from Lax to Den.

Ok got it. Should have said I saw this on SecretFlying's Twitter. Hope it can still help somebody who maybe didn't see it. Thx!

Decided to give this a go and am doing a same day flight this Saturday (11/7) since my schedule is pretty packed after the 10th of November. Clocks in at $170.60 and 3.65 cpm. That $6.40 I "saved" will go towards the parking charges. 
First time doing a same day flight. Thankfully, the drive from LAX back to OC will be easy at midnight when I touch down.

There are a few of these available for next week, but only if you book through Alaska Airlines. On AA it's $400+. My reading of the AA policy page says you still get 100% eqm even if it's marketed, booked, and operated through AS. Can anyone confirm?
I've flown AS codeshares before, but only booked on AA with AA codes before. I wouldn't want to waste my time and money and not get eqm on this.

Some AS fare classes earn 0% on AA. Check the fine print. I think once I flew an "R" class AS flight and got bupkis.
