ua has new fares that are K, at least that's what I have been looking at here on the west coast. Not sure but some of these fares were due to end yesterday and or today

If DEQM is a go and this fare remains, that's gonna be a pretty nice deal.

If you can do this thru HNL, 15K mi for an upgrade each way is not such a bad deal, so would 5 500-milers.

thats too much for me and a friend has 6 nights booked at the Park Hyatt FFN stays, besides a couple of friends live in SYD and its been a few yrs since we last got together

UA wants $843ai now to try and figure out what the Harlem Shuffle means to save an extra $100

Looks like they pulled the plug on this.... you can no longer route yourself through HNL.
