As desirable as an international with the minimum number of flights, it's really hard to find something affordable with space. If you're seeing 10cpm for W-fare with >R0, that's really hard to justify. Premier Accelerator at 11cpm seems real attractive at that point.

Another option is try something domestic/Carribbean. Here's an option...combine these two:

WAS-BQN(Econ): http://goo.gl/flights/BbNd
BQN-HNL(First): http://goo.gl/flights/DvAs

So it would look like this:

Fri 22 Jan
UA4269 DCA-CLE 1430-1555 E45 (L single cabin)
UA1138 CLE-EWR 1707-1851 73G (L)
UA1071 EWR-BQN 2114-0159(+1) 739 (L)
Sat 23 Jan
UA1162 BQN-EWR 0255-0555 739 (P/First)
UA15 EWR-HNL 0910-1533 764 (P/First lay-flat)
UA1229 HNL-LAX 2330-0659(+1) 753 (P/First)
UA1549 LAX-IAH 0829-1350 739 (P/First)
UA1945 IAH-EWR 1427-1855 739 (P/First)
UA1071 EWR-BQN 2114-0159(+1) (P/First)
Sun 24 Jan
UA1169 BQN-EWR 0255-0555 739 (L)
UA4646 EWR-DCA 0904-1025 E45 (L single-cabin)

WAS-BQN L-fare $309 4670PQM
BQN-HNL P-fare $1316 26934PQM

TOTAL $1624 31604PQM 5.13cpm

Seems like a waste to use a GPU as an RPU for the WAS-BQN segments, but better than letting them rot. And the 11h23m EWR-HNL is lay-flat. I haven't checked availability, but typically EWR-BQN is super easy.

Good luck!
I think you will be the winner of a brand new RPU... It expires on 1/31. PM me for details. Even a GPU if you want them. I don't think I am going to fly to DEL at all with deals in PAID first like these...
