AC: YYC - DFW via YYZ, $338 AI, Mon-Wed until June 26.

Books into Flex K, so 100% EQM on AE and MP. With a little effort, can be routed through YVR for maximum earning. I booked YYC-YVR-YYZ-DFW return for $362 on Orbitz for total of 7,504 miles for $362 or 4.8 cpm. Not totally MR material, but decent ex-Canada.

Matched by AA on direct flights, fare expires April 18.

$59.80 DFW-BOS AI RT in and after August, looks like on select Wednesdays and Saturdays.

UA BOS-LAX $308-337 RT (4.7-5.8 cpm)

Not as good as the recent BOS-SAN deals but I've been watching pricing on this route for a trip I'm taking in October and the price has come down about $30-35 RT in the last few days. Widely available in Sept-Oct including Sat/Sun and same day redeye turns.

Direct - $153.90 o/w (2611 miles - 5.8cpm)
Better cpm - route through EWR and SFO - $168.70 o/w (3565 miles for elites -4.7cpm)

Many good fares from MSP to East Asia on AA (with some intra-Asian JAL segments).
Small additional savings with open jaws might be helpful for some.

See http://www.kayak.com/explore/ if you need inspiration

Virgin America is offering a fare sale that has resulted in matches from UA out of SFO and LAX

The best deals are to FLL and ANC, but even there the cpm isn't great.

SFO-FLL direct can be had for $314 but has min stay
LAX-FLL for $328 with overnight turn on 6/1-2

More info/starting point at http://www.virginamerica.com/vx/booking/fare-sale

IND-ZFV/PHL is surprisingly low on UA. $69 ai o/w to/from ZFV and $83 ai o/w to/from PHL. Lots of availability. N fare, routing rules seem quite restricted.

This is not the best CPM but it's a cheap trip to EWR (by skipping the train part) for sure.

Edit: Also saw MCI for $89 and MKE for $86 to/from ZFV

Thanks for pointing this out Jetstreamer.
I updated my post.
Strange BA offers 100% Avios, IB only offers 80% Avios.
Them both having the same name (and being the same company) this is really confusing.

PDX-SJU/BQN $390+ on UA. Routing thru EWR it does go down to below 5cpm. Found it in October, did not do further searching for other available dates.

Not taking the train part won't affect the flight tickets, will it? If it has no effect, I might look for fares to Asia from EWR and use this to get to EWR.

Ugh, finally a MR I can drive to and UA's N-fare strikes again in my pursuit to *AG...

I do believe this should be a stand alone thread. It is in the mileage run category. $219 round trip, 3.5 cent/mile.
