UA: BWI-SEA $280 rt

I was looking for an interesting way to get the year off to a good start and found this.

BWI-CLE-SEA-IAH-BWI $280
Departs early on 1/1/13
return flight isn’t until almost midnight, returning on 1/2/13

BWI-ORD-SEA-DEN-BWI
In an attempt to get back earlier, found this for $401 (was $340 earlier today), again for 1/1/13. It gets back a little after midnight, but possible to go to work on the 2nd.

This is my first attempt at finding what looked to be a good deal/run, as defined and stated by several FT members. I am not even close to being good at calculating miles or generating cpm, although I have seen info on where to do so. I'm just not fluent at it, yet, so please assist if you wish. If this is not a good deal/run, please let me know so I'll know how to adjust my perception of what is valuable information. Thanks.

I have never done an MR myself, but I did check your planned travel. I didn't see a fare of $280, but I did see $342 for BWI-ORD-SEA-SFO-BWI arriving at BWI in time for work on January 2. The total mileage was 5476, about .051 per mile.

Same fare on DL too.

WAS MRs on UA SHOULD open up after labor day and BWI-SEA is one of the usual suspects.

Not lots right now but BWI-SNA is a little better

(ex)
Nov 10, BWI-SFO-SNA-SFO-BWI, $254 AI
Sat, depart BWI 619A, return 0044A ... :51 in SNA
4.2c/eqm

I need another 10K out of WAS and will be waiting ...

It's $257 and pennies now on DL.

All good to know. I'll keep watching to see what the new year could possibly have in store. Thanks.
