I tried to get an LAX-EWR-SLC-EWR-LAX, but could never get it to price correctly.
Best I could do was LAX-EWR-SLC 'one-way' for $329, but could only get it July 3, 4, 6th, and those days just didn't work for me
Thanks for posting OP.
I won't even pretend to know as much as you do as far as why it priced as it did. BUT, being able to fly LAX-SLC-EWR-LAX in the premium cabin, which includes the 757-200 lie-flat seats on the return transcon leg, within a quick turn for a cool 10,024 PQM's on August 24 has me smiling.
I'm forever in debt to the OP. Just need to bring a good book to endure the layover in SLC. I've not flown through that airport in 15 years, and I'm wondering if anything has changed.
