Did you find this on UA.com? I don't see it on ITA. Tried both ways and I don't get $137.

UA/CO: UIO-EWR $394 rt ai

Doesn't work in reverse, and appears to require a 3 day min stay, so I don't know if this will be useful to anyone. Sample dates: Mar. 6-9. I noticed routings via PTY and IAH, which can get around 5.25 cpm.

I see the fare, too. Positioning flight is a killer!

How does one see the fare class/rules in this site?

TIA

over some time, I've encountered a few fares with similar (goose egg) base fares..I've never mentioned them previously as they weren't all that practical..

If you were going to pay 249eur for sip-dar, and are actually interested, most sites seemed priced around $130usd (including tk for ~30 more)

the lowest 0.00 base fares I've come across after all fees was just somewhere around 20-30...though once again, wouln't likely be of much use to most

though I can't comment on the reason the fare listed above (sip-dar) is published at that fare (mistake, or not), in many circumstances there are intentional reasons fares are published at 0.00 - 1.50 - or even 7.50 for a intercontinental, trans-pac, trans-atl, etc..

China Eastern Airlines HKG-LAX $661 a/i

HKG-LAX $661 a/i China Eastern Air (Sky Team)

Was looking for a flight to TPE and came across this in the process. Sample dates: 3/2-3/5 but widely available through first week of June. Haven't been able to get similar fare on the reverse but working on it. Also available to YVR.

Good for me as well (in Russia) or for those based in Istanbul.

Fare code is E...., available routings are

-IST-IZM/AYT/ANK-IST-DAR
-IST-DAR
-IST-NBO-KQ-DAR

Stopoevers are only allowed in IST but are free of charge. KQ segments book into L but you need to find a place to do this...

Update: sorry, the routing allows KQ segments but fare rule does not.
Outbound segment is by 31 March 2012
