Fare rules permit EoE with anything, so should be possible to get a cheap positioning flight on the same ticket. And it allows one stopover for $75. Not a bad deal.

You're welcome. I flew them once back in 2003 to MCO. They gave you a breakfast sandwich back then. I don't know if they still do.

Thanks for catching this. Also works for other cities in Peru. Route rules require the MEX-LIM flight, but and there are no international flights on to those cities not going through Lima, but some fun can be had, such as:
MEX-LIM-JUL-AQP-CUZ. AQP and CUZ are both great. $75 for one permitted stopover. With 500 min milage guarantee on aa, looking at <5 cpm. Would have been nice if one could route through SCL/EZE.

SLC <=> SAN on Alaska for $118rt through the end of August. Dates are very open - great deal for summer travel. SLC to SJC and BOI are also the same price, but fewer miles are earned. LAX and SFO are also at a nice discount for summer travel at around $158rt.
With the double-miles promo at http://www.alaskaair.com/www2/Promo/...C||&pid=AS1403 this comes down to 4.7cpm.
Additionally, there is a $50 coupon offer for new Mileage Plan members residing in Utah. Info is at http://www.alaskaair.com/content/dea...less-utah.aspx which could potentially bring your first flight down to 2.7cpm!
