SEA-LAX-JFK-SJU for 159 some days... 5k EQM at 3.1CPM
seems limited to 3 segments and that's the longest routing I could figure.

any better out there?

When does this start? Is it September like the other airlines? I'm checking this month and see prices north of $600.

Sample dates?

Does this require an overnight stay in SJU?

Seeing as early as August on ITA, but not finding fares on DL or on Kayak.

Also showing valid for exiting PDX on ITA.

Glad to see PDX included this time...we've been left out of a lot of the latest West Coast-SJU sale fares....

Yep, second rate city. Which is a shame, as DL used to use PDX a lot more.

I'm considering doing a DL MR so this would be great for me. I'm already planning 3 SJU UA MRs.

What dates are you seeing 159 for?

Also for any Albertans, YEG to SJU is showing low 300s in October (eg 23rd to 31st) for any cheap vacation seekers.

Cheapest out of SFO is United at $316. Delta is cheapest multi-city though.

How about $338-340 E fare PDX-SJU on US, easily available September-October? UA credits 100% in E on US plus status bonuses, so buy US and credit UA. 0-2 day trips widely available throughout September and most October except midweek. Same-day turns technically available but usually require a redeye outbound and an overnight on the return, might as well make it a weekend trip. Route through SFO/PHX & ORD/PHL each way for 9100+ base miles. Sample:

Sep 7-9
US6439 PDX-SFO (UA metal) 6:56pm dep
US6895 SFO-PHL (UA metal) 10:30pm dep
US1071 PHL-SJU 9:45am dep, 1:40pm arr
=====
US6640 SJU-ORD (UA metal) 2:50pm dep, 6:56pm arr
10h 19m layover
US24 ORD-PHX 5:15am dep
US86 PHX-PDX 7:45am dep, 10:29am arr

$339.40 ai, 9161 base miles per ITA, 3.7cpm on base miles
confirmed on Orbitz using multi-city about 10 minutes ago (says two left)


Appears to be the same SJU fare that's been out there for quite some time now.

Good deal...have you been able to find any UA matches? I realize some of the above is on UA metal but I have UA ecerts that I'd like to use and so fare ual.com doesn't show any matches at this point *holding breath*
