VX just launched the route with $99 ANC-SFO ow fare. They have more traffic going north since they have a customer base in SFO. Going south, they are trying to build their following. UA is matching that match

The AirTran A+ frequent flyer program rewards credits on a per segment basis, so miles flown and cents per mile calculations are irrelevant when it comes to progrm achievement.

Hadn't seen this thread before
It's a great idea as some routes are expensive and never become mileage runs. Thx for switching this post over to it.
Not quite a mileage run as Mexico has so many taxes and fees but at $80 each way plus extras this is the cheapest ticket I have seen to Mexico from Austin in years and is apparently aimed at Sat only non-stops but also applies on other routes. Thru Aug 24. Tons of 7 day trips on Saturday flights and some mid-week via IAH for another $5 more each way. I just snapped up a couple of seats for Mrs UAAAPeter and myself. Now the question is where to stay as SJD is such a ripoff for hotels. Maybe La Paz - rental cars are $4 a day - really.... Similar fares on other airlines but not quite so good.

Perhaps only obliquely applicable, just received an email from JetBlue that appears to be reacting to Southwest's "Mexico and the Caribbean" sale initiated a few days ago, though B6's sale is wrapped in vacation packages. Perhaps only relevant as an indicator of willingness to go up against Southwest.

ZFV to YVR Through EWR/SFO 6730 $417 6 c/m
Found a flight in November for 6,730 miles at $417. There seems to be a lot of availability in November/December, but the fares are good until April 2014.
