Probably like $3600+ (I checked from SEA mostly, but I don’t think the LAX flights are a lot cheaper).
Also, my last rev Condor was exactly two months ago and so far I have not received my miles. Six weeks since I submitted the retro credit, just crickets in response.

Have been tracking flight prices and they are coming down for short hauls once fall hits. Rebooked a lot of my interCA travel and saved a ton off flights starting in mid Sept. Sadly AS increased prices on most of my flights so no savings there but those are mostly medium to transcon.

Better prices are still a ways off, your best bet is MR'ing in early December before everyone starts doing VFR travel for Christmas. Nonzero risk of bad weather, but it's probably going to be worth the savings.

Any great segment runs out there? used to be able to to LAX-SJC-LAX-SJC-LAX but not so good anymore. Love to hear of any from LAS but could position anywhere. THX

I'm curious about segment runs too. I'm out of IAH and doing a MVP Gold status match (10K) by end of September.
The only caveat is that it can only be AS and not partners.

IAH-SEA-PDX-HNL and return would be ~10k

You made me check my flights and I will be at 67,000 organic EOY. I’m 100k and it’s not worth having, can’t find a single use for the two AA upgrades so will make a run at 75k for 2023. I’m PDX based and Alaska has drained Portland to defend Seattle, so very few opportunities for inexpensive transcons. Used to be able to do FLL and BOS but one is gone and the other so limited now. Was hoping AS would match the current $237 RT to most of Hawaii Untied has right now but not seeing it. I do feel AS is way behind on Visa benefits, and I was part of a survey about the card benefits in the past, so wondering if they will do another EQM deal with the Alaska BofA Visa card.

You are aware of this “EQM deal” that’s running through the rest of the year right?

It is. I am carefully directing some spend to the AS card that wouldn’t get any category bonus on other cards. And some AS tickets. I am expecting to get 2k EQM from this “deal” , which according to current planning will save me an unnecessary trip to get to MVP (or get me additional flexibility in choosing the airline for some trip without being influenced by status renewal considerations).
