US mileage runs - MAR15

Recently earned 2 US SWUs by way of Chairman's challenge. Trick now seems to be identifying a decent int'l mi. run, in order to take advantage of the SWUs before AA program integration renders them obsolete.

Any good runs with US metal to be had in March?

Oddly enough I was looking for similar. I've just been trying to find good deals on US metal from anywhere around the east coast/midwest to Europe but haven't found much of interest.

I've found some fairly good deals to TLV (their longest route) but no confirmable upgrade space.

~$800. You can get it down to ~5.7 CPM on certain routings. So not amazing but a pretty easy way to pick up 14k EQM.

Based on what I'm seeing though, this route is a damn hard upgrade and there's no way I'm making that trip on US in economy.
