Was this recently or 2 years ago when the price was ~$250 EWR-HNL-LIH-HNL-EWR on UA? If recently, I'm going to kick myself...

AC: EWR-YYC ~$220 a/i
Great fare to YYC from EWR on AC but only limited availability in early May (sample dates: May 2-7).

Also, Delta is only slightly higher at $237.

It's funny, we saw the reverse route, YYC-EWR for pretty much exactly that price, on those exact same dates May 2-7, about a month or so ago. First it was WestJet, then AC matched.

Not sure what it is about May 2-7 between Calgary and Newark that the airlines are so anxious to make price cuts.

Actually, I see that the YYC-EWR route is available at the cheap price again, it was gone for the last week or so.

I even did not notice its disappearance. Actually, the status has not been changed since then.

Code:

I believe the beginning of May is when Westjet's season service yyc-ewr begins, and they discounted to fill the flights on the first few days of service.

YX is offering MKE-PHL for $118 all in roundtrip -- lowest fare I can recall in this market in years. You can earn DL miles on YX (not sure about elite bonuses). Not valid on Fridays and Sundays/Mondays, I believe, but otherwise great availability. I think there's some sort of minimum stay -- fare doesn't work one way.

I was going to post this as a "mileage run" to give more folks a "heads up," but it's hard to claim this qualifies --unless there's some bonus offer I'm unaware of. It's a great fare, though.

I am a newbie, so my apologies if this is the wrong place to ask, but where do you find such low prices for a HNL MR? I have been trying to get there from IAD or DCA and haven't seen anything below $800 RT

Historically they will be posted in the MR forum. Here are some finds during 2009:

http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/milea...-i-s-fare.html

http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/milea...54-90-all.html

http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/milea...cents-eqm.html

http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/milea...231-239-a.html

http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/milea...85-rt-all.html

Keep an eye on the MR forum. They are usually started by an opposing carrier stepping on the toes of the carrier for a Hub and then that carrier does the same at the other airline's hub. Fun for all of us!

This one comes and goes... it's here right now, with no minimum stay. An efficient 15K base during April if someone needs it.

CO has a similar fare at $780.

Great fare. Less than 5cpm from NYC.

Just FYI, US Citizens need a visa which runs over $100 ($130?).
