Question - being part of OneWorld, can this also earn EQM on AA or does it need to be a codeshare?

Yup, it earns miles.

^ Great Find! Thanks OP :D

Ugh that's a long flight to have guaranteed economy...tough to pull the trigger for me personally.

Great find ^

So you aren't willing to take 2 flights in coach to ensure upgrades in the future....and they say the elites are over entitled....

EQM from AS posts in about two weeks in your AA account.....

Only .5x EQP but 2x miles for RDM if you have AA status.

These aren't just 2 flights... 5 hour flights in coach (when you are already EXP) aren't on the top of the pile.

If you're asking for renewal though, 178 for a transcon is a great price.

Any AA match SAN-BOS or SEA-BOS ??

BTW, I see some BOS-SAN fares for $178 but not much love for BOS-SEA...

Does AS even recognize ExPlt status from AA as it relates to upgrades?

I've done coach on transcon and it's not one that I look forward to..but being a sucker for a very low cpm, I might not be able to control myself:)

Nope, no upgrades for AA elites on the Alaska bus.

If one is a DL elite, AS SAN/BOS F cabin has been having a lot of last minute buy ups to F so could be easy upgrade. One Saturday there were only 8 people in F

BTW I ended up buying a one way to SAN. Hopefully i will find a UA sale for the return as the AS return price is too high. Its good either way as i'm only booked 2500 mi short of MVPG for next year. As a backup it was only 12.5K award miles in coach for the sunday return

or check out the DL F fare that CokeandTaco posted in the good deals premium thread...might work from SAN or nearby airport?

I like having a chance at an upgrade. I've taken nine flights in coach this year already to ensure future upgrades, thank you very much. There will be other fares, this one also doesn't fit my schedule. :rolleyes:

Not a big surprise, since AS doesn't have a large FF pool at either end at this point in time. Good to know though, would certainly be a decent buy up on this fare. I'm guessing not too many are aware AS now flies the route nonstop? Hopefully they can make it work, fares like this aren't the best sign of that though, but BOS-SEA works well and that is included too...

My last ones posted <48 hours:eek:

Ill have to check out the premium deal thread as UA N fares are always Tue, Wed and Sat and I need Sun

Oh Yea and for those that collect AS miles, BOS/SAN promo is double RDM through 5/29.

BOS/SEA double RDM starts 5/17

Thought that special F fare was for BOS but it was actually for PHL...too much wine :rolleyes::confused: maybe if you could pin a cheap US shuttle flight to the end of it, it could still work for you. Looking at it a different way there was the DL fare from PHX-BOS for $184 and then use WN or US to get to PHX from SAN...

I decided to stick my with my coach AS award on the return, well unless a special cheap fare shows up. I earn enough miles through all the bonus on the outbound to cover all but 4K of my return award price. It was worth the sacrifice as cheap EQM is what i was really after.

Unfortunately just booked a RT BOS-SAN for end of April at the exorbitant price of $330. Had to satisfy Mrs.pfbloom's schedule constraints and could not get the $240 AA special to work.

Now this..... ouch, wicked good deal and non-stop, plus I've wanted to sample the AS service to SD. However I often prefer to have the midway stop in DFW to break up the trip, and have found that the connecting-flight itinerary yields very good upgrade success... I've been hitting about 90% as EXP.... but saying that I've probably jinxed this next trip....

BTW, thanks to CokeandTaco for reeling in the good deals here first.

If any AA people need a way home from the fare, AS has a ton of Coach saver space in case anyone wants to book an award with AA miles. DL miles wont work due to RT redemption restriction

Looks like everything out of SEA is gone.

Ugh! Bummed that I missed out on this one. Hard to find MRs for AS!

Your best bet will be to watch fares between SEA and MCO, FLL, and the Hawaiian islands (HNL, OGG, LIH, KOA). These are all 5000-5500 mile loops and can occasionally be found around $300, which puts them at about 6 CPM. A quick check for May shows some May FLL fares for $348, some HNL fares for $367. Again not great but it gets you 1/4 of MVP.

SEA/BOS looks done... but still some SAN/BOS, late May and early June...

Also add PHL and EWR, I've seen sub-$300 for both those routes lately.

Thanks - HNL is my usual. I usually fly out of BLI, but finding good fares from there is even harder. Doing STL on Monday. Just learning how fast I need to jump on these great finds! :o

There was a fare sale back in December for SEA-PHL or SEA-EWR for $218 R/T. Haven't seen anything like that lately though.

Would love a SEA-PHL deal like that. GF wants to visit PHL but looking for a good price on it.
