~5.6 cpm earns 100% RDM aa miles, only 50% EQMs
All AY fare classes earn 100% EQM, but some only 50% EQP- just like AA.

AA: RIC to PEK or PVG for < $1000

From Richmond, VA to either Beijing or Shanghai for less than $1000 in early September. This is not MR material. But, it is about 50% less than UA charges for the same route and dates.

The LH ORD-DEL $775+ (and BOM for a little less) fare has been around since this thread a few weeks ago:

UA/AC/LH/LX/OS: ORD-CAI/BOM $684-720 ai rt K fare

Note - the BOM fares are really scarce now, but, if you can find them, OJs (ORD-DEL/BOM-ORD) priced at about the same fare for me on 5/14.

However, caveruner17, are you sure the Austrian flights earn UA miles? I see only K-fare Austrian flights, which according to the UA website, are non-mileage earning fares.

East Europe-Istanbul

It might be interesting: BUD-SAW (Istanbul)-BUD or SAW-BUD-SAW from 35 EUR return ai on Wizzair.com - not on ITA. It's a low cost carrier so you have to pay extras for bags...

Damnit you're right. I was looking at another flight and got mixed up.

Airtran--BWI-LAS--$155 Sept 4-6

Assuming I have done this correctly (big assumption), I'm seeing $155 for BWI-LAS on Matrix--i calculate that at 4 cents per mile.

All other dates in September are higher.

This breaks down to $149 going north, and $99 going south.
When does that ever occur???
