DL: BOS-SEA $241 ai, 4.62cpm. (AA match via LAX)
Same day turnaround. I bought one for March 2nd and returning 2 hours later.
First time doing a MR like this. I've always done 1 night stays but I've never done a same day turnaround. Any advice on that?
Sample dates for 0 nights:
Feb 28, 29
March 2, 3, 4 (for $239), 5, 6, 12, 13
I'm a little nervous because I think it'll look "weird" to see a guy get off the plane and get right back on. haha

I actually booked a similar BOS-PHX roundtrip for the same price that weekend. I'm hoping to use SDC changes to change it from a same day turn with 1.5 hours in PHX into a proper over night trip, but if that falls through at least I'll get the miles and the hotel/rental car can be cancelled for free.

Wow, just found it on AA, but routing via LAX both ways. AA codeshare on AS metal LAX-SEA. BOS-LAX-SEA-LAX-BOS, redeye back. But 7100+ miles in 24 hours for $241.20, 3.4 cpm. I'm going to alert the mods to see if they can change the title, I don't want to start a whole new thread.
Edit: Only appears good on AA with that routing 3/5 and 3/7.

The connection from AA to AS and vice versa in LAX is a pain, when I take AA to SEA I go through DFW, the few hundred extra miles each way isn't worth the bus ride.

It should be noted that anyone who is not at least a GM could have a significantly worse experience if there is a minor delay. Plus a connection that tight removes any chance of getting a VDB voucher.

Nice short turn around, don't hafta leave the airport. Just bring stuff to eat/read/do, and you should be all set.

Looked at this on AA out of SEA but couldn't find anything making it worthwhile. Oh well, I'll re-qualify on my other flights, was just looking for a cheap SEA-BOS flight to get some fresh lobster.
