Many dates available from Nov-June.. Great one-way fares which connect through Chicago, Denver, or Houston. 
The treasure is there, even though it is hidden.

Scored seats via IAH for 1/22 and 1/29. Unfortunately those seem to be among the few good dates on weekends, and DEN and ORD don't earn nearly as much. Thanks Raffles!

I'm trying to find the IAH connection on ITA or the UA website but all I can find are connections through DEN or ORD. How did you find IAH connections?

Comparing the miles via IAH (at least starting in SEA), going via IAH gets you only a few hundred miles less, so it isn't that much of a loss.

The LAX-CLE-MCI for $222 on ITA is all in L class-- but the real fare, $588, is in S and W classes, incidentally; limiting search on CO site to L class only produces no results. I think this means all the L seats are gone, and that they JUST went today, since ITA is still showing old data. Drat!
Great find, though. I'm always looking for LAX to MCI deals, since my Dad's in Kansas City... if I can pile on more miles for those family trips home that I'll be on, anyhow, all the better. ;-)

Argh. I can't find anything reasonable, LAX-CLE-MCI. It shows at $222 on ITA but lowest fare for same itin on CO site is $588. (ITA also shows a $160 fare through IAH, but can't make that come up.)

Aha... ITA's data is wrong (or outdated, however you want to look at it) but I started finding some better prices out in April. Ended up ticketing on CO, LAX-IAH-MCI 4/27 - 5/3 for $227 AI; it's not the most incredible fare in the world (5.5 CPM) but it's better than usual so I'll take it.
Thx for the encouragement. And if you happen to see anything else better to MCI, I'd love to know about it! I'm def down to book another trip (in fact would love to get out there sooner, even though Kansas City winters are not my favorite thing in the world :-).

Finally MCI gets some love! Any idea if this works the other way around?
