Number of good LAX fares

Not sure if I should do a separate thread but I was playing with March and found a couple of good LAX-SIN same day turn opportunities.

A basic one is LAX-MSP-NRT-SIN arriving 12:45am with the return leaving at 6AM SIN-NRT-LAX

Total miles 19584

For a 3/19 departure and 3/23 return the fare is $643.04 A/I for a CPM of around 3.3
For a 3/18 departure and 3/22 return the fare bumps to $658.89 A/I
looks like the same price is available for the following weekend.

Flights book into T and can be booked from Delta.com

Fares are starting to disappear so if you're interested...better book now. Just rechecked the same dates from April / May on DL.dumb, as well as on the Big O and the fares started to jump back around the $1,200 range.

From LAX... looks like the immediate turns are gone. Short trips still available in March/April. Essentially nothing through the summer. Numerous short trips in October and November.

Thanks OP.

I also noticed some of the MSP-NRT-SIN and return have the same flight numbers for both flights. I don't know how the mileage works out for MSP-SIN compared to MSP-NRT-SIN but it could affect some mileage calculations

DL: EWR-SIN $690.30 ai - 3.43 cpm

I also wondered about that, and if 2 segments on the same flight number would negate you from any potential opups.

DL.bomb only let me do EWR-MSP-NRT-SIN on the outbound on April 5 but let me do EWR-NRT-DTW-EWR on the return April 9.

I had a longer itin that involved flying EWR-LAX-MSP-NRT-SIN on the outbound that was pricing around $725 but DL.bomb couldn't finish the deal.

1) Did you try your longer itinerary on Orbitz?
2) It's DL.dumb... .bomb is reserved for UA .
