I'm looking to fly out Monday Mar 7 and return on Mar 10. Wouldn't mind meeting some fellow MRs along the way.

787-800 with 1 J seat reserved for Pilot rest. So 27 seats available (or 26 if they still haven't fixed 3A which was broken in Nov and still in Dec).

I did this route twice, once in Nov, once in Dec. I cleared once on the outbound, and once on the return, so 2 of 4. It's a hard route to clear, I cleared at the gate once (only one to clear), and once at T-24. These were Friday outbound and Monday returns.

It was better when this first came around a couple weeks ago, now it is mostly depleted on EF, C0, with few exceptions scattered here and there, mostly via DFW on the 777.

It varies wildly by the dates and routes, $436 is the minimum on certain dates only.

Thanks for posting this thread. I ended up booking a positioning flight with miles from LAX-ORD and then it was $586 for ORD-DFW-NRT-LAX. I used Amex points I acquired through my work CC so ultimately these flights will cost be $11 and change (for using the miles for the positioning) out of pocket and I'll earn 12.5K eqms and 25K rdms. 4.6 cpms. Not a bad way to end the week and nice mr for my gf and I and my first time in Asia coming next month!
