MSP-PER, $1435 with ANZ in May. Works out to be about 6.1cpm which is pretty good for Perth from Minneapolis. This route usually runs ~1800 to 2000.

A better cost would be to buy MSP-CGK ($790 w/ UA + NH, 4cpm) and CGK-PER ($450, JQ) separately. CPM for the *A routes is about the same, 6.1cpm.

Not sure why, but AA's DFW/LAS flight price in February has gone down from $192 last week to $162 yesterday, to $127 today. You can even get same day Saturday Feb 14 turnaround for just $137.

Some amazing fares to Brazil right now... just bought Austin to Fernando de Noronha on Jetblue/Azul (earns UA miles) for under $500. Normally Sao Paolo alone to FEN is north of $700!

I found a similar routing with slightly higher price from IAH. Came up on matrix with 3-6 day range. I got some prices around thanksgiving weekend. I tried to price weeks around 2016 US holidays and had no luck...even AD's site wouldn't price it at all.
