Thanks...it's also good on AA/US, but through PHX so you get fewer miles at the same price. I booked two turnarounds for $268 each, leaving LAX @ 2:30 PM, returning LAX @ 9 AM the next day. 6200 EQM each, 4.3cpm.

Great find! Will be running the LAX-MSP-ANC-MSP-LAX routing Oct 3. Comes up as 8108 MQMs (not 8080 as in the OP), but for $261.91, it's still 3.2/mile.

Seems to work in February as well. However, I don't really know how to avoid going through SEA when using kayak. Some go through MSP on the way back, some go through SLC and SEA on the way to ANC.
When I enter the whole string LAX-MSP-ANC-MSP-LAX in kayak the prices go up. I get the best price when entering LAX-ANC, but then I often don't get them to go through MSP.
