UA: JFK-SFO-LAX-HNL and back: $465.40 AI
I know there have been other NYC-based HNL runs posted here, but this one is still available so I thought I'd post. 11,284 EQM (assuming 500 minimums) at a rate of $0.041 CPM. Not too shabby. Still a handful of dates with same-day-turnaround availability. Could do this with more segments, but this routing allows for p.s. in both directions. You can use the standard tools to find applicable dates.

Definitely a good candidate for CR-1s

Is there any better use of CR-1 than this one?
Maybe JFK-SFO-DEN-ANC, but that's about it.

SJU-ORD-SFO-HNL would be a better use. (yes it is possible to book this most times of the year, when there is mainline ORD-SJU).

Could you provide a hint of what dates you are looking at? 2009 only? I'm wondering if there's anything before '08 ends.

Some in 2008, but availability is dwindling fast...

FYI: Everyone has matched this.

Why would anyone want to go from SJU to HNL!?!

Works ex-BWI in Jan also same day return. This would also apply for a bonus mile promotion from UA I think?

Available every day from the second to fourth weeks of January, according to ITA. I think I might jump on one, just to get the miles flowing for 2009!

(Hopefully, as a new 1K, my retroactive CR-1s will have posted by then!!!)

PanHam - the fare change I saw from search to ticketing was only $3, what did you experience?

Oh, for me, .bomb wouldn't even compute the fare, even after selecting all of the appropriate "L" fare legs given by ITA. I searched for January 13th and 14th . . . what days were you searching?

Doing a immediate turnaround MR 1/30-1/31 HNL-SFO-JFK-LAX-HNL for $442.99 a/i booked last month

Itin also qualified for the 'upgrade bug'.
