UA: Sea-mnl-sfo $387 16270eqm 2.4cpm
Sorry if there is a duplicate post as I didn't see one out there. My friend was telling me there was some fare from SEA-MNL (from some other website that he saw).
Playing around with it, I was able to create a better routing (yielding more EQM) with immediate turn around.

You can return to other UA hub as well for slightly more too depending on your dates. Thought I would share this. I definitely didn't try to locate the island hopper route but feel free to do so!
$412 for those who want to return to chicago instead of SFO

The price seems to have increased about an hour ago. Just FYI.

Is the short turnaround time doable in Manila
Was thinking of doing such a run but wasn't sure if I could make it through immigration in time. Is there a transit porocedure? I have transited in MNL for a SIN-SFO flight on Philippine Airlines but I believe United is in a different terminal. Anyone attempted this and have any current information. I did a search but the responses I found were very dated.

Actually the deal was still available when I posted. But it was gone probably about 6-7 hours after i posted. Moderator merged my posts all into one which made it seems as if I posted a dead deal. 
I have done this trip before and the plane for GUM-MNL and MNL-GUM is the same flight. I don't recall having to go through immigration but just went to transit counter to get my boarding pass (it's been a few years ago already). However, you can attempt to check in online to get your boarding pass for your return flight or try to have agent help you check in when you are in transit at GUM if they can do so. That should help reduce the amount of time needing to spend on this for the quick turnaround at MNL
