I have a $100 UA certificate that is expiring June 12 so I need to book some flight asap. Any ideas?
Thanks.
Depending on how far you're willing to drive, there are some airports within a few hours that have some good options for domestic MRs:

For long haul you can check these (I didn't check the CPM or routing):

ORD - DXB is still available in Nov for $744. I haven't checked the longer routes, but it prices at 4.9 CPM which is higher than I like.
I don't know if these are still around or not:
