(FARE GONE) CO/UA: LAX/SFO-MIA $179/187 ai RT [Merged]

LAX -MIA $198
SFO-MIA 192

Definately a drop in fare from last week. The fare good thru mid-March.

Available on UA/CO websites, Expedia, Cheaptickets

Thought about adding this to the below thread, but I didn't look
at any multi-city options....so don't know if it would work.

Thank you, jaymar. I just booked a couple of same day turn SFO-MIA trips in March.

I was able to book all UA metal, outbound via ORD, return via IAD. Total price $200.80 ai for 6383 EQM, or 3.1 cpm.

Two connections are allowed each way, so you could do SFO-LAX-IAD-MIA-IAD-LAX-SFO for $208.20, or around 2.81cpm. However, I couldn't find any immediate turns for this.

Thanks for the deal again.

However, it seems this one has a lot of time constraint (You will have to leave early from MIA)...

If I arrive at SFO on a UA lflight and want to do an immediate return which is on a CO flight, do I need to go thru security again or is there a way airside? It's just a 50 minute connection time.

On the Continental website, on the SFO Map it displays a bus from the international terminal G to Continental gates. Im unsure the hours the shuttle runs but this would be the best bet as the walk from the United gates to the international terminal is as short walk and you dont have to clear security.

ever since they set up airtrain outside security and connected the UA term 3 w/ INTL inside security, I believe the shuttle was stopped. If it stil exists inside security I don't know where it originates, because it's not in the same place anymore.

Not sure if it still exists, but I remember seeing a sign regarding a shuttle to continental gates. Found some additional information on the United site, seems the information was updated on September 2010.

Free bus transportation is available for United and Continental customers with connecting flights. United pick-up is at gate 92, and Continental pick-up is at gate 32. Bus service is available every 20 minutes between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m., seven days a week.

The bus was operating when I was last in SF earlier this month. I didn't take it, but there were signs for it an an announcement was made about it on my arriving CO aircraft.

actually, it is a relatively short walk. it may take you about 10-15 min to walk there.
I heard the announcement a few times too.

Thank you as well jaymar01 ^. Put 3 on hold this morning but couldn't find anything to work out via ORD and back via IAD. Can you share some sample dates?

LAX-MIA $230.80 R/T Same-day turn.

I just booked two same-day turns LAX-MIA. Sat. Jan 29 and Sat. Feb 12. Dep LAX 6:00 a.m. via DEN arr MIA 4:03 p.m. Dep MIA 5:03 p.m. via ORD arr LAX 10:58 p.m. $230.80 a.i. R/T. I couldn't find a way to fit in more than four segments all on UA metal on a same-day turn. I don't want to chance CO E-. But, that takes care of the 10,000 miles needed for 1st quarter CR1s. Thank you OP.

No more quarterly CR1 in 2011. First 2 CR1 will come at 75K miles.

I booked one on Sat 1/29 also, SFO-DEN-MIA-IAD-SFO on UA metal for a total of 6016 EQM. It did cost more than SFO-IAH-MIA-IAH-SFO on CO metal but I used an E-Cert from a broken IFE. UDU will work also. This will be my first MR.

+1

I just held 2/12, from SFO. This is much better than the TPA runs, as it gets to SFO at a much better hour!
