AA is matching this. The Bay Area has had some good fares, but no mileage run fares. This is the best that can be found these days.

Update: Looks like AA is no longer doing a perfect match anymore.

I just booked SFO-CLE on united.com for $242.00 (same day return) on 04/20/2013. It is also available for same day returns on other travel days in April.

Lax - den - cle

All i found under $300 is LAX - DEN - CLE same day RT and only getting 4,126 miles on April 20 (Sat).

Would that be a good MR?

I found on 3/2 (as mentioned above) LAX-IAH-ORD-CLE-IAH-LAX for $243 and 5090MQM, which makes it 4.7CPM.

Couldn't get it through United's site, had to go through the Chase UR Mall, which is fine, since I'll get extra miles on my credit card AND it helps to meet the spending requirement!

Also worth noting that the IAH-ORD leg is listed as a 787, but I doubt that will happen.

I tried Hipmunk for this run and it only gave me a option for Denver or Las Vegas,never for IAH.

It was cheaper in price in departing to then flying back. Price was about $268 or so.

It is hard finding really good MR's out of SFO these days. The old SFO-SJU via IAD is tough to come by. I got a couple in at $314 last year and best I could do this year is about $340.

Not bad for SFO; it's hard to find deals from here. I couldn't find a same-day turn that worked both ways through IAH, but was able to book SFO-IAH-CLE-ORD-SFO on .bomb as a multi-city routing.
