Mach81,

This does not really qualify as a mileage run since you are forced to do it on short notice. These two factors generally kill it as a mileage run. As the others have noted for doing runs, study the stickies. On this one the best deals I saw were slightly under $400. Mileage Runs also often use the red eyes to sive time and/or money. On this ticket, just take the best deal you can find. If you fly UA you can get LH miles. Plan on a mileage run for another trip.

Travel Safe.

Thanks
