Yeah, hard to describe it as a true "mileage run," but it is an excellent fare. Seems to be good through mid-May. As a CO plat, subtracting the value of the OnePass miles I would earn (if I value them at a penny a piece), I could travel roundtrip to Spain (nonstop) for $200 all in. That's a pretty darn good deal.

or maybe do it all on CO, take the train from one to the other.
What is it about a 3 hour ride?
Might require a 1 night stay, hmmmm may go play around a bit a see....
