Indeed... I test booked flights 9/3-9/4,
even avoiding jungle jets, was $139 ai.
Not bad, although I don't do MR's much these days.
Thanks, though !

how are you finding it again?
I saw it this morning, then the fare popped up and back down, but now all I can find is the higher fare. Any tips on how to do a creative search or backdoor to book this??? I almost pulled the trigger but got called away to a meeting. thanks
Also for the DL folks, looks like a semi-match for ~200ai, if you route thru ATL comes out to about 3.4cpm.

United flies a 767 between SFO and AUS, or did I misunderstand your post?

Not sure about AUS, but doubt it. UA flies 767 SFO-IAH.

From what I've read on the CO board the 767 is for cargo traffic to/from LIM (as well as pax, obviously)
