That definitely doesn't work!;):rolleyes:

2.3 cpm at $98 all-in. Works in reverse too.

It's a really good deal for anyone in those two cities.

UA also looks to have a similar price between the two.

It's worth looking into for us up this way if positioning isn't a killer.

How many of the denizens of the B:rolleyes:x had a 90% or better upgrade rate this year on CO for EUA eligible flights? In this case, one need not discount due to the regionals. I am interested. I never get a true sense of how CO FT Elites are really doing with all of the "noise" on the main forum.

At almost 5.5 cents/EQM, I'm not sure it's worth going up to BOS.

64% for me

(2009 was half Gold, half Plat and no RJ)

I was in the high-80s during the first half of the year but that dropped in to the low-70s with the second half of the year. Mostly off-peak leisure travel out of EWR.

I'd say I'm about 75%.

Primarily business travel ex EWR or LGA. Most of the time on refundable, "insta-upgrade" fares (B). But I usually book within 3 days of travel, which handicaps me.

Airfares PHL-BOS and vice versa are outrageous. Midweek tickets are often over $1,000 non-refundable. The only economic way to get to BOS from PHL is to fly to PVD and rent a car or fly to MHT and take the free bus to Boston provided there. See the many threads in the US forum where several people (present company included) make the same complaints on pricing over and over again...

It isn't, but I found a $97 PHL-CLT-SAT. @:-) Might take some questionable ticketing practices to string them together...would positioning on US to take the CO one-way up to BOS and then another one-way back to SAT to catch a US return home get flagged for anything?

PHL-MHT is a new line and dot for me. fozz is right, I'm an addict after one hit.

Shouldn't, you'd just want to make sure that you've got ample time for the connections.
