With an A fare of $826, I can get 4630 MPM miles each way, or 9260 miles round trip. US is doubling A EQM through the end of the year, so that makes it 18,520 EQM, bringing the CPM to 4.4 cents per EQM in F all the way, and with half the BIS miles!
That is why I am chasing the fare. After I am able, I intend to show it to others by posting it to the group. 14 day advance, and somewhat higher available for 7 day, 3 day, and 0 day advance. Excellent availability. Similar fares appear to be available in many other markets. No minimum. Immediate return allowed, or one or more sunny days in paradise allowed at no extra cost. If I can overcome the pricing battles, mightn't that sound good to people trying to requalify this year, but with limited BIS time on their hands?
