UA: LAS-BDL/BUF/BWI/CMH/ALB/IND $197 ai (Apr, May; $213 ai eos)
 

UA has a bunch of fares to/from LAS for around $200 until EOS. Creative routing can yield ~3 cpm fares. Mostly mid-week but there are some weekend immediate turnarounds available. Bookable on UA as well as other sites.

Just saw that, too! You beat me to it!

More cities, too!
 

Such as PVD, RDU, TPA, JAX, PIT, etc. The usual suspects.

Saw a 3.7 wekend turn out of PVD in May but involved PVD-CLT-DEN on US

I don't know how long this is going to last, I keep finding fares on ITA then on UA.com or Orbitz the fare is higher.

Either ITA really sucks [I have had a few dates where it showed a decent fare, then when I click on it to view the results the fares were $50-75 more] or UA is pulling those fares.

Availability is draining, as more people book in the G bucket. Looks like the cheaper fare is valid until end of September, with the higher fare quoted by the OP showing for post-October 1 dates.

I waited too long and all of the weekend fares are gone it seems... I was looking for a Saturday same day turnaround ex-PIT :(

I spent too much time toying with the routings.

Sorry about that! My past experience with advanced booking has been that I could usually take advantage of schedule changes. Usually able to get CO agents to get the routing I liked. Good luck!

Got 10 of them LAS-BWI
Half way to 1K by 2/19/13!^

Thank you for the hot tip, todorovic!!!

Thanks! I just booked two LAS-BWI.

Thanks for this! This is absolutely what I was looking for.

I was able to snag 2 bdl-ewr-las trips at 3.6 CPM

MSY is in the mix too.

I'm finding stuff leaving BUF on ITA (June 1st departure date), but can't find the same price anywhere. :confused:

Very fustrating!

Same day MR!

Thanks! Booked 5/28-5/31 in BWI-LAS for $195.70. Three nights in LAS at Hard Rock Hotel @ $0.00 per night thanks to email targeted casino comp offer received yesterday!

Ahhh!

.pss is really getting to me. Keeps .bomb ing everytime I'm trying to book a couple of these fares.

I thought it was just me! It took me 30 minutes to book two tickets. Slower than molasses. All us FTers must have been bogging down the system.

Had the same problem. Worked all the way through entering the credit card details and then was sent to the page saying united.com could not complete my reservation. Kept trying online and it eventually went through after starting over again 3-4 times.

What a MESS! I spent over 2.5 hrs with twotech support people in India to try and get a ticket. They claimed one of the segments did not exist but when they finally gave me a confirmation number, the flight did exist. It was impossible to see any of the seat maps. United clearly does not have a grasp on its business.

Yesterday around 4 p.m. (Vegas time) as i mentioned I got 10 of them, all in about 15 mins. Shut me down between #6 & #7 for about 15 mins then O.K. again. Later that evening I printed out my itins and there was a message in red at the top stating that they they were doing maintenance. Everything slowed down to a snails pace.

I had the same problem booking BWI-SAN flights few minutes ago. Finally I've clicked on "Call Me" button and I was connected to the rep within 2 minutes. She just asked me for my first flight number, last name and credit card numbers. She was done in 3 minutes. Very helpful and fast.

^

Had the same problem oddly enough. After banging my head against my computer screen for about 45 min, finally gave up and called in the make the res. The rep said that the segment from EWR-LAS didn't exist! She was completely confused about this, since she was pretty sure it did exist, but didn't know why her system didn't show it.

I gave up and booked through travel-atrocity. ;)

UA: BUF-EWR-LAS-EWR-BUF $197.2 / 5004 miles / 3.9 cpm
 

First MR post ;-)

a lot of cheap fare through april-july, also there are some fares at $194 but you need two Xs at ORD and IAH.
Great for guys living in YYZ area, especially compares to $600 YYZ-LAS-YYZ.

GREAT first post :)

Mileage-run wise, you can do MUCH better:

BUF-IAD-SFO-LAS-IAH-CLT-BUF, $201.80 ai, 3.5 cpm, 4/23-5/1
BUF-IAD-SFO-LAS-SFO-IAD-BUF, $204.80 ai, 3.3 cpm, 4/23-5/1

While this is a nice first post in the MR forum, that specific deal is already being discussed in this other thread started yesterday, maybe the two threads can be merged.

I agree that ITA shows the extra connections, but I'm having trouble getting them to price on .nuke (successor to .bomb). Any ideas?

I was finally able to book a same day turn on a Saturday ex-PIT... I am doing this run via IAD both ways on July 14th and booked for $197 ai.

Thanks OP!

I had that issue, basically, if G inventory dries up on one segment it won't price on UA.com.

I have had this issue quite often since they pulled the plug on the original Matrix. Not only that, sometimes ITA would show a certain price on a given date, then after clicking on that date the price in the results list are higher than what was shown in the calendar.

Methinks, the new matrix is having lagging issues between the minute a fare is no longer available and when the matrix displays the new price.

As a matter of fact, UA.com showed me an itinerary that ITA did not show me [earlier today for PIT-LAS] and it turned out to be better than what ITA gave me [via CLE on the outbound with CLE-LAS on the dinky 735].

Is it giving you 3 segment itins, or are you plugging in IAD SFO as connection points? (for example)

When I booked obscure routes, I have to use the multi-city option and feed in each segment and the time manually.

Also, before the merger, CO.com commonly would show a higher price for the first segment, but just keep going and pick the flights that ITA listed. During the process or at the end the price will change to match what ITA is giving you. I am assuming that this might still be the case sometimes.

If you do not have any luck with UA.com, then go to Orbitz and use the multi-city option to see if you can make it work. I booked a few trips on O in the past and if you put in your frequent flyer number during booking, it will appear in your UA.com account automatically.
