I was thinking the same thing. I am at infant level in terms of MR/routing knowledge. Hoping someone more seasoned figures a way to send this to the west coast to really juice the miles flown. That said, still good as posted and less brutal than TPAC in Economy Plus for a MR.

Am I correct that, as per the routing in the OP, I could get off in IAH, making AUS a hidden city situation, whilst still getting all the PQM and RDM miles credited?
