People need to chill about "no mileage with UA".
Good for TK members though

Alaska (and AA codeshare) has various dates through the summer LAX-ANC for $296/ai round-trip. If you've never been, I promise you Anchorage is more fun than you think. I went last year for Labor Day and will be doing it again this year. Really awesome city to spend a weekend.

I'm seeing JFK-TXL-HEL 5/16-26 on Air Berlin for $314 on eDreams. Not sure what mileage accrual is for Oneworld partners. I'd be curious if anybody can find other cheap destinations or if it is HEL only.

Also, having played with dates and locations for a few minutes, it does seem like this is an isolated mistake.
