Friend and I booked for August. Land at noon leave at 8p and renting a car for $25 all-in. Still need to figure out what to do in Houston, but should be fun.

UA: EWR - PVG - $960 - 5.2cpm

Check out this Newark to Shanghai option on United at $959.50 for 18,326 miles at 5.2cpm for minimum 5 night stay in what I can see. Looks like availability each day Sept 25-30, Oct 31 and most days in November and Dec 1-2. A 1 or 2 night MR would be $100 more. Just use the ITA website and search all of Sept.

Example Dates: Wednesday May 8 (08/05) – Tuesday May 14 (14/05)

Carrier: Multiple Carriers

Availability: It looks like this fare is only available next week. Do a fare search +/- 3 days and you’ll probably see the where it cuts off.

US: SMF-PHL and vv. $220 ai RT n/s, 4.4cpm

celebrating the reintroduction of seasonsal n/s service i guess. i only found dates in the last week of May which is why i am posting here and not in a new thread.

US changed this to a redeye ex-SMF, it used to be a daytime flight on the same schedule as the UA flight to IAD. the ex-PHL flight leaves there around 6pm, so it is possible for those in PHL to pick up a quick 5k miles in <12 hours.
