UA: LAX-SJU $367 > 7,879 EQM > 4.7 cpm

Just booked:
Out Dec. 7th thru ORD
approx. 10 hrs in SJU
Return Dec. 8th thru EWR

Looking for last minute MR's and this seems to be reasonable. I haven't posted much so if I missed something please let me know. Hope this helps someone. Thanks all.

Did this run twice two years ago, both times thru EWR. Keep in mind that now LAX-EWR and vv are ps so there is no shot of a CPU. Back then it was going for ~$252 and I did get some upgrades.

I just did ORD-SJU-EWR-ORD last week in a single day. Cost was $327 and 4399 PQM
Not as good as yours but for a 1 day trip i couldn't find many other options... I have the same flight coming up again dec 9. And that should let me cross 75K PQM

The one day options are nice. The less I'm tied up in the air, the more I can work. Days off work greatly effect my trip cost.

Congrats on 75K! Maybe one day I'll be there but I seem to be taking steps backwards at the moment.

Thought about getting out for a few hours in SJU. Any experience?

I'm still expanding my FT shorthand. Would you please enlighten/elaborate on "vv" and "ps?" Thank you.

I thought the upgrade would be a long shot. I'll be fine in 21A, hopefully. Business First would be nice though.

PS is United's Premium Service for transcon flights between EWR and LAX/SFO.

vv is just "vice versa" meaning it is in both directions.

p.s. is the UA's premium service offered EWR-LAX/SFO, no CPUs, only instrument upgrades (RPU, GPU) or miles.

vv: "vice versa", in the above context "each way".
