Going fast !! available on Expedia on UA, Delta and AA.. you will need to try several times before you get the selection as prices jump /double .. delete your memory cache.. and it will work and get you the price.

Gets your 16,625 EQM @ 3.8 CPM with the next day turn around

Booked my flight to leave on April 3rd, arrive on April 4th evening , leave on April 5th morning, land back in Austin, same evening.

Don't have SWU , but lounge access will make the it somewhat easier..

Anyone know of cheap hotels close to airport ?

This is a great price! I just booked for April 15 for a long weekend to also visit the area. It was searchable on UA, but I couldn't book. Indeed, Expedia worked fine. Looks like it's going to be a bit rougher of a trip without status at the moment.

These trips are not all on AA metal ( I think) so don't you forgo some EQM
with the new system in place. I could not find this fare for less than 1400 on
AA metal only.
