Found this for 3/6. Bookable on US.com Can be <3.1cprdm with elite bonuses.
Still searching for other dates, although it looks like UA PS can be had for $219 on tuesdays and wednesdays for the next few weeks.

Do you know if you accrue miles JFK>SFO (2,586) or do you get the extra miles that the sop in PHX gets you (2,804 total), even though it's all one flight outbound? Just in general, curious if anyone knows how airlines calculate that mileage. Thanks!

Nice find OP!!
Too bad i ve already grabbed the same day LGA-PDX-LGA for $122 on 3/6. There has be to be something special about this day..!!
Still looking from sth decent to do the weekend before or after out of EWR, JFK or LGA. If i don't find anything really good for the west coast i might have to pull the trigger to Asia..!!
I think you get credit for 1 segment and the miles for JKF-SFO.

I've personally never had to deal with that issue, so I'm not sure. However, I think they give you the great circle distance from JFK-SFO, so 2586, although I think you have a decent chance of appealing it. Whether 300eqm is worth the hassle is up to you.

As far as the seating went, on 1st run, I managed to talk the GA into putting me into Y+, which made the trip alot more bearable. Tried it again on run 2, and no dice. With exit rows, it should be ok, just watch out for that PDX turn. You have literally 15 minutes in the terminal before you start boarding again, so a quick run to the coffee shop past security is essential (they make a great latte).
