Thanks! PHL is a little drive for me, but its worth it since I can fit 2-3 trips in over the 10th-11th.....

How do you get a ticket like this all in the same day?

Sorry, this is not all same day- There is a 6 hour overnight, card table time. (I booked Sept3 departure 3pm return LAS-EWR-ZFV) for 174.80.

Had to find a web support person to book the ticket since it wouldnt price via united.com and regular agents would not sell the ZFV portion. Then had to find a sympathetic agent to break up the EWR-LAX-LAS flight as the web support person booked it as a direct flight

Go into the flight fare calendar for specials from LAS-PHL and you'll see $192/$193 for same day turns,
Sept. 4, 10, 11 and some later dates..It's NOT leave the 4th and return the 5th, etc.

I picked up a couple of these:

LAS-ORD-PHL-IAH-LAS

and

LAS-DEN-PHL-IAH-LAS

Both same-day (no redeyes).

Nice thing is that a single RPU covers the whole trip as it is considered LAS-LAS. Everything upgraded already.

Amtrak segments don't count towards PQM at all. They are a flat 250 RDM per segment.
