Cheapest CO Flight?
 

What is the cheapest, regularly scheduled CO flight in the July-August timeframe that earns at least 1000 EQMs roundtrip? I tried TPA-SQR, but it's $139.80! Any other ideas?

IAH-DAL and IAH-AUS can be had for about $108 + tax for a round-trip if purchased several weeks in advance. Service to DAL is all ExpressJet; to AUS it's mostly mainline. Both routes are less than one hour in flight (AUS is sometimes less than 30 minutes in the air) and the planes on both routes usually fly out and then right back to IAH, so you could book the first available return after your outbound flight from IAH without worries of missing it due to delays, since the return will most likely be on the same aircraft.

BWI-CLE - $98 + tax for an X fare.

IAH-AUS, $68+ tax ($84.30 all in) for an X-fare.

X-fare even available as same-day return, so an easy mini-MR if you're close to an Elite threshold.

cle-chi also has fares this low if you book in advance.

AUS-IAH RT for $ 58 + tax
 

I just purchased by roundtrip ticket to the Sept. 29 Continental Event (thanks again to Cigarman and CO) for $ 55.10 plus $ 16.30 tax for $ 71.40 total. I leave for IAH early Saturday morning and return that evening.

Regular X fare was $ 58 plus tax.

I know that this is out of your July-August time frame, but I frequently see the $ 58 for a Saturday rt.

As an added bonus, most are refundable as well. Thanks Southwest!

DFW-IAH, $108+ tax, 1000 total miles for the trip
SAT-IAH, $128 + tax, 1000 total miles for the trip

It not the cheapest, but you can often get a Y fare on CLE-BWI for $200.

It's actually $258 + tax now.

To RNE
 

Hi RNE

In your O/P you probably meant TPA SRQ which is served
by a Cessna 402 for a fun 18 min flight at 3K feet

The down side is that it is operated by Cape Air

I found an AUS-DAL for 108 + tax. = 2000 miles. Not stellar but better than IAH.

We flew DW from BWI-DAY rt for around $115 all-in back in the fall....haven't priced it in awhile but I've seen that fare somewhat recently. Trying to compete on the BWI-CMH route w/WN.

Bos-pit
 

I did MHT-PIT once before. It was cheaper out of BOS on 7/2 returning 7/3. All segments were on 737 and it connects in EWR both ways. Of course that means lots of missed connections and good chances of it getting cancelled. But there is a total of 4000 EQM to be had here for $138 base, $41.60 taxes/fees for a total of $179.60.
