UA IAH - LAX $130 RT Same-day turns available

I haven't searched enough to know the exact availability on this but wanted to share for those looking for an end of year MR out of IAH on UA. IAH - LAX $130 RT several same-day nonstop turns available in November and early December. Didn't look beyond then. Saw a Saturday available on Dec 6. Mostly Tues and Weds currently it looks like.

Works for one-way bookings, too.

This works out to about 4.7 cpm.

Good deal economy fare? Yes. Good mileage run? Not really.

These cheap UA fares use to be my bread and butter since it was an easy way to rack up miles, but with the revenue requirement in place at UA (and DL), it's pointless for flyers like me....now if a fare like this were on AS....

If it were only $130 for 2758 PQD instead of PQM, I'd be all over this.

Already have my PQD's for this year, but the additonal PQM's will net me 2 RPU's and 2 GPU's for next year, not bad for $130.

I have seen some of the $180-$200's on this route connect via MCO - those are good ones!

100% agree. Just like Jon Gruden's Fired Football Coaches Association, many of us are now members of the Fired Frequent Flyers Association.

I know it is off topic, but UA has no shame in copying all of DL's anti-consumer policies EXCEPT the revenue waiver for top (Diamond/1K) status. Complete bunch of weakling losers up there on Wacker.
