Matching a Frontier sale.
Obviously not too good a deal for mile-earning but for 1900 PQM/2 PQS that's a pretty good price. Catch the megabus back to Austin for $5.

My experience with the Austin/Houston Megabus is minimal. I was just trying to stay within the airport. Does the Austin Megabus pick up at IAH? Would love to have another repositioning idea for future MR planning. Seems AUS has some great potential MR's that IAH, being a hub, I assume, does not.

AA and UA both have regular flights to their DFW/IAH hubs, so they compete against each other very closely here at AUS.

Indeed, this currently is available as AUS-ORD-AUS (booked as two separate one-ways) for around $105 on a lot of days this fall. That's obviously an extra ~$30, but that may be well worth it to avoid the cost and hassle of having to get between Houston and Austin by other means.
