probably because JQ116/117 make stop (same plane) in DPS before heading to SIN/PER.

Thanks OP. Nice find!
Booked it for Nov 1-10.
Good BIS mileage but having second thoughts though because it gives you only $226 in PQD's.
Might have to take some F flights to get more PQD's.

This is almost my perfect itinerary, if I could extend the stop in DPS... Played around with no luck. Looks like it's not allowed in the fare..

nowhere. Jetstar H = starter fare = pretty much Spirit Air.

If anybody is really looking for a brutal run, quick turns are possible on this. As little as 5 hours on the ground in PER before making the trek back, but that makes is ~50+ hours in a plane and 5 hours on the ground. A more reasonable 2 days in PER is also possible. Or just go to SIN for a similar price.

Jetstar, hmm, you can't rely on them, not in the middle of an MR. And they'd be totally inflexible if you misconnect at the turnaround, that's if you found anyone to speak to. Oh and Jetstar will measure and weigh your carry-on too.

I see this fare on Google Flights, but I have not been able to book it on unted.com. Suggestions?

MRs will know the SIN-DPS-PER segments on Jetstar accrue 0 miles so I am not sure how you came to 3.7 cpm?

(I have been to PER - HQ for OZ mining - and its well worth a 2-day stay & $20 visa).

I just tried it, and it still works. Just click on the link at the bottom of the google flights page. I put in traveler info, skipped over the seat selection, and went to the page waiting for my cc#. I stopped there since I can't plan ahead that far.
United shows the mileage credited to be 19326 pqm for $718.00

I have not been able to generate a quick turn itinerary for $718 - any tips?
