I wonder who is the target of this fare war - US or AS?

My guess would be US since NW has a relationship with AS. (assuming DL doesn't sever ties)

Just for the record, DL & AS announced stronger ties a couple of months ago with more codesharing. Also, DL & AS will allow recip upgrades starting in 2010.

$166 is a good fare for SEA-PHL.

This is actually a pretty sweet MR on DL/NW right?

Take PHL-JFK-SEA-DTW-PHL and yield 5348 MQM @ $160 = 2.99 cpm in one day.

Unfortunately the routing rules don't allow anything more creative. I was unable to take the return back via JFK for some reason, could have squeezed about 300 more MQM out.

Used http://fly.qux.us/smcalc/, not sure if this is considered accurate for SM calculation.

I didn't think AS flew to PHL.

They do not.

I hope UA matches this as well. The lowest I was finding was like $220 with a saturday stay over.

I agree with you, however, I don't see availability for the weekend. Were you able to find weekend availability?

How were you able to find the allowable cities on the routing rules. I am looking at the rules on ITA but it doesn't specify allowable city pairs, just "transfers permitted."

DEN gives you max mileage. Do ten of these and you're 1k in $1400 with DEQM.
