UA: United- NYC->LOS (Lagos Via IAH) $728.00 RT 4.55 CPM November.

Good Morning All:

I found a deal with a 4.55 CPM that can turn in nearly 16,000 miles from NYC to Lagos Nigeria.

The entire flight is operated by United Airlines themselves, and bookable through United making it eligible for a lot of PQMS... It is mostly available in November. You can search via google flights - I have as usual sample dates and such posted to my own site (stealth trips) if you want to dive more in detail.

Also - I posted CAI yesterday - Unfortunately I must have been half asleep because while cheap many of the segments were ineligible for miles. So not as good of a deal - thankfully some of our friends pointed that out. My apologies, Ill be checking all star A code shares more closely next time.

Good price to a great destination. Lagos is a fantastic city. Visa can be a slight drag but isn't too hard; just arrive at the consulate before anyone else.

Instead of trying to direct web traffic to your blog, why don't you just post the fare and preferably the fare class as well? Seriously, this post is useless without any specific information.

Because it's part of the Mileage Forum standard.. basic protocol for any thread on here. Didn't you know?

From the sticky:

Tips for posting new Mileage Run Deals:

We are trying to standardize thread titles. List the airline, the route, and the price, e.g., AS: PDX-LAX $99+. Also list anything that’s particularly noteworthy or unusual about the fare (e.g., “books into Y, 150% EQM”).

Hello all,

Let's skip all the Nigerian Prince jokes and discuss the fare. izzik is correct that the title does not follow the required format. OP kindly provide the details and I will edit the title.

Dear Pat
Thank you for taking a stand against the bafoonary that rears it's ugly head whenever a Nigeria-related deal or topic pops up. I truly appreciate it.

And I agree... i'd love to see more clear and concise deets about this deal.
