UA: SMF-BDL $261+ ai
only real viable routings are via IAD or ORD
found scattered dates in October did not do a lot of searching, but farecompare.com/maps suggested lower prices ($173) which I could not validate with simple searches.

Ua atl-las $247 rt
Just thought I would share since the ATL-LAS route has been near $400+/- RT on DL.
UA ATL-LAS RT $247ai with routing through CLT in both directions.
Sample dates: 6/4-6/7
PS - Not sure why my title keeps defaulting to lower-case. Sorry bout that!

Paris-Bangkok-Dusseldorf for £292 all in on Etihad
Just stumbled upon this on expedia UK. Example dates: out May 23 Rtn June 10..the open jaw seems to knock off some fuel. Sadly sticking in LHR for the return ups it quite a bit.

UA Europe-ORD-South Amerca-ORD-Europe $1150ai with 2 stopovers @ ORD
I wanted to go to Europe from MSP or ORD and then also to South America this summer (June/July/August), both for about 2 weeks. Fares to both are around $1200+ each.
I stumbled upon this, and while others may not need exactly what I need, I think the idea of 2 stopovers between Europe and South America is worth thinking about!
26JUN AMS-ORD (stop) UA
31JUL ORD-GRU (stop) UA
14AUG EZE-ORD (stop) UA
15OCT ORD-LHR UA
So for less than the price of one of the RTs I was looking at, I got both of them (as long as I use miles to get to Europe in the first place), plus about 20K UA or TK Star Alliance miles too, even without status! With status, the CPM drops a lot of course.

If it's a 1 night stay, can the MR meet PVG's 48-hr rule? That is, a layover at PVG for under 48 hours waives the requirement for a China visa, where you only need an immigration stamp and verification of an onward journey?

You can see the discussion of this in the following thread on the China forum:

In that thread, some folks doing MRs discuss issues boarding when they don't have a Chinese visa in their passport.

I think you biggest issue will be boarding here in the US rather than on the ground at PVG. The rules have been changed to 72 hours for both PEK and PVG.

But, hey, it's application might have evolved. Either way, you should check the requirements with the airline taking you to China: otherwise you might not even get on the aircraft.

The onwards travel requirement could always be met with a cheap LCC flight.
