UA: US Various-NRT-SIN from $760 ai RT (~4 cpm)

So I see this fare over the next few weeks, until end of June:

FLL-NRT-SIN-NRT-FLL (one day turnaround, arrive just after midnight, leave next morning at 5 am).
About $1200, for a total of just about 22K miles (depending on intermediate cities in US)

Similar fare/mileage but for fewer dates from IAD.

It's a lot of BIS time. Would this be a "mileage run"?

Of course. Brain freeze, sorry
Looks like I can't edit the thread subject, though.

Wow, my week old IFTTT recipe just set off the phone and I went diving for the computer.

Nice dry run, couch to Mileage Run forum in 14 seconds.

Hahaha same here. I thought this would've been my first price mistake deal.

After missing UA $2.50-$5.00 by 30 minutes and Wideroe by seconds, I was very pumped. Oh, well. Not a bad fare anyway, thanks for posting and providing a few seconds of excitement, OP.

Speaking of the IFTTT recipe. I installed it as well, and noticed the lag time (the post time and my email receipt time) ranges from 10 minutes (fastest) to over 6 hours.... Interestingly, I got the notice for this MR the first time ~1hr from posting, and then the updated post (with the 5.4 cpm edit) ~2:54pm.
This IFTTT thing is not useful for catching those hot price mistake fares on this forum...

Ran to the computer for this one too! haha

On the bright side, you can route the Island Hopper on this one. Did it back in February and had a blast!

Tempting, considering this fare continues into July, too...but I have a lot of trips already scheduled, so I may have to pass for now.

how do you get it to route on the island hopper?

SIN - HKG - GUM - island hopper - HNL - US-destination?

I was trying to find it on ITA and it wasn't coming up. What did you search for? Sample dates?
