DL DCA to SFO RT for $258.80 (outbound: 02/18, return: 02/21)

Miles: 5040

Not bad since you're flying into the heart of Washington, DC! DCA is the best airport! Oh and SF is amazing.

Misterphat and golfingboy, these are both very nice for t/f the District itself, considering all the expense and hassle of doing that at that end from IAD or BWI. ^

AA: FRA-ATL

Not a MR fare/dates, but this has trended downward over the last few days since AA announced fares ex LHR.

Dates: 31MAR-6 April
For max miles route FRA-DFW-MIA-ATL-MIA-ORD-FRA
12,994 RDMs
$693 AI
5.3CPM

You can do it for $20 cheaper but will have to decrease miles to 11,748 RDMs

DL: ATL-RDU-JFK-BOS-BDA-BOS-DTW-RDU-ATL $480 ai

MQMs: 5848
MQSs: 8
PPM: $0.08

Booked this one because I already had to travel to Bermuda during this time and figured instead of paying over $500 to fly direct from ATL-BDA I'd save a little money, rack up some segments, and some miles. I realize the PPM on this one isn't the greatest ($0.08/mi) but I travel very regularly throughout the southeast for work and usually qualify for medallion status (FO this year) by segments, not miles. This should help me get to my goal of GM this year.

The Bermuda trip that you just described qualifies on several fronts. First, that it is generally cheap for flights to Bermuda, believe it or not! Second, that it is cheaper than other routings which are shorter, thereby making the MR part of it kind of an odd bonus. However, I am not sure that I would want to go to Bermuda at this time of year, it would be a bit cold there!

Not a run but seems like a good price compared to what I've seen recently...

.bomb 3/13-3/15
$522base + $127 tax = $649
L class

Doesn't price out on ita or kayak..just .bomb.

Beware. This appears to book in the E bucket which, depending on your FFP, may yield zero points. (For my two, DC = 0 and EB = 25%.)

cheers,
