Dl: Rdu-pvg, $872

DL: RDU-NYC-DTW*-PVG, $872 in Feb and Mar. = 16,200 mi or so for 0.054/mi.
Fare rules require either a 3-day minimum, a Saturday night, or a Sunday night, all depending on the day of departure.


* DTW shows up on some routings and not on others. Miles and CPM may vary a bit...

I just got back from the AM $439 ai RT special IAH-MEX-EZE-MEX-IAH
Overall, it was a decent experience from AM and 100% MQM + Medallion bonuses for SkyMiles

US SFO-IAH $161 a/i ~4.6 cpm

US SFO-IAH $161 a/i ~4.6 cpm

Jan. and Feb. 2013, decent availability, some weekends, unfortunately no same-day turns. Routes via DEN or PHX.

Funny extension of US vs. UA fare competition currently going on. Itineraries contain partial if not full UA metal, but fares not available on UA website. Can be booked on US website; did not check OTAs.

I don't mean to be snarky here, but is this
a) insane due to it being a rare deal from Erie, or
b) insane to consider paying 7.6 cents per eqm (assuming 500 minimums)

Given that Erie is under 100 miles from either BUF or CLE, and not much farther to PIT, there has to be better CPM out there for Erie folks

Not seeing it for ORD-EZE, unless you meant 783 one-way...

Fares in this thread are good for the city pairs involved, not necessarily on a CPM basis. If it was good for CPM, it would be in the regular Mileage Run forum because it's a .. mileage run.

izzik explained the purpose of this thread well. But just to elaborate (since ERI is my second closest airport behind the metropolis of FKL served by UA alone), flights ex-ERI to anywhere for less than $250 a/i RT is a bit of a rarity IME. The only three carriers to serve it are UA (CLE), US (PHL), and DL (DTW).

Aaaannd.... just to make this post worthwhile, here're several more ex-ERI blockbusters:
US ERI-LGA - $150 a/i! (or $162 a/i with UA or DL)
US/DL/UA ERI-BOS - $182 a/i
UA/DL ERI-BWI - $182 a/i

And a few more for good measure:
US ERI-MCO - $222 a/i (or $225 with UA or $242 with DL)
US ERI-TPA - $237 a/i (or $238 with DL or $242 with UA)
DL ERI-ORD - $238 a/i (or $245 with UA or $260 with US)
UA/DL ERI-DFW - $242 a/i (or $288 with US)
US/DL ERI-CLT - $220 a/i (or $249 with UA)
UA/DL ERI-PHX - $262 a/i

It looks like US is leading the charge with a price-cutting sale. Very nice. Hope it sticks!

Warning: The US supervisor working the early morning shift at ERI (the one time I tried to fly US ex-ERI) was a ************. It was so bad, I had to change my award to UA-op via CLE. Fortunately there was last minute space available or I would have been up a creek. In most situations, it shouldn't be an issue, but it happened to be in my situation.
