UA/CO: JFK-LAX-NRT RT $838.80 ai (5.29 cpm)
Purchase by 1/18
Fly outbound by 3/31 (at least)
3 day minimum stay.
15852 eqm, all on UA/CO metal. Possible to do all-UA.
This is 2400 miles longer than the non-stop on CO for the same fare.
Other connection points are a bit shorter, can add a domestic seqment each way for more EQM/EQS. Also possible to use other *A carriers, but I need to stay on UA/CO metal if I do this.
I haven't booked this yet... before I do, considering 5.29 cpm, I'm hoping one of you MR animals can make this even better. But this would get me almost all the way to my "get back to 1P" targeted deal all in one trip.

I can't look from where I am now, but is this a W or higher class so an SWU can be used? Probably isn't, but can't hurt to ask...

The particular fare is gotten only by booking all in "K". If one direction is available in "L", but not "K", the total is $100 more.

Thanks for posting, OP ^ If only this did not have the minimum-stay and K fare requirement. Wouldn't it be awesome to see this price for W fares?

I have JFK-hnd/nrt-LAX-JFK on hold for $870. We both know a SWU is workable and it looks like the JFK-HND part is instant confirmable in C after looking it up on EF.
