UA/AC/LH: SEA-AMM $651 a/i (4.1cpm+)

Seems like a pretty good fare to Jordan. Haven't done a lot of investigation because I'm a SkyTeam loyalist, but throwing it out there in case it's useful to others.

Appears to be available on at least AC/UA/LH with various routings through EOS. It's similar to an EK fare, so possibly a response to EK's entry into the Seattle market?

For a few extra dollars in UK taxes, you can increase the CPM by connecting in London onto BMI: I was able casually to get it down to 4.1cpm on a $680 itinerary but I suspect you can do better with a little effort. (One example is 11/6-11/13; SEA-IAD-LHR-AMM-LHR-SFO-SEA on UA and BMI metal.)

Fare base round trip appears to be $161.00 + taxes and fees.

You can find it on Kayak, bookable through a number of sites. Looks like K fare on mix of AC/LH/etc.

Good find OP! Too bad UA does not fly to AMM.

Whether BD still exists in November is a big question though.

Yes, great fare! I was finding routings via YVR & FRA into the fall for USD$687all in that make taking this offer tempting. Thanks for sharing! ^

LH segments in K earn no mileage in any programs but M&M, and at that just 50% so stay off LH metal!

EK is lower now! 589 AI. Very good for the AS flyers out of SEA who want to rack up some RDM with the double mileage promotion on EK.

Thursday Dep Sun Ret possible

Is a great find for a lot of AC metal but the last miles seem to the problem. Given uncertainty around BD seems like it might still be best to stick with LH out of FRA and at least maximize the AC miles.

Also bookable on AC.com for anyone lucky enough to have discount codes.

I'm no expert, but I've never had an AC discount code for anything other than AC metal. Where do you get your codes?

probably from customer relations department due to previous complains, such as broken IFE, severe delay...etc

Was referring to the x% discounts for service issues (broken IFE, poor service, etc.)

They generally work on codeshared flights like this; doesn't have to be 100 percent AC metal.

What fare class does it book into? looks like discount economy only earns 1/2 on the mile...

are you talking about VNCRPUS6 ?
