DL: EWR-UIO 3.3cpm same-day run

Sample itinerary https://www.google.com/flights/#sear...-DTWEWR1DL6262

Bookable via Matrix Script
6804 MQM on the sample routing ewr-rdu-atl-uio-atl-dtw-ewr

There are other dates and cities, just play around it. Dates available Oct/Nov and March/April next year. Seems to be some kind of attack fare onto AA hubs departing EWR (seeing the best prices including RDU or CVG)

out of MDW and ORD for $221

found on another site and played around with the dates/routing a bit.

I booked two of these there and back, my only concern is I only have exactly one hour between arrival and departure flight. Wondering if I need to clear customs and immigration, will I have enough time?

added a couple of connections each way for some extra MQM's Total $221.06 I booked via Delta.com 6967 MQM's so 3.17 done better, but not bad for a two day, non-hotel stay MQM MR.

if you do this MR in same day turn you arrive into UIO at 10:20PM and then return UIO-ATL at 11:30PM.

Am I correct in assuming that you can stay air side and not have to clear passport control?

Also is ATl-UIO eligible for upgrade to First class? I thought yes but delta.com says no when I attempt to book.

Thanks

My itinerary shows arriving at 11:30 PM and returning 12:30 AM from/to ATL. Also shows complementary UG eligible, however I may purchase first class UG for $402 on the trip down for all three segments. When you buy a UG to F do you earn additional miles or mqm's?

Did anyone ever find out if a person can stay airside on this quick turn and avoid C/I?

Thanks OP.

I was able to book BOS-LGA-CVG-ATL-UIO outbound, then return

UIO-ATL-DTW-CVG-LGA-BOS, for around the same price OP posted. ~8,500 MQMs. Nice!
