ORD-Croatia AF $620ish for the summer - great deal.

btw - the thread should be renamed to include 2023 (or just remove the years since it's relatively quiet these days).

Yes, RT.

And if you go in the spring, it goes as low as $450 with KLM

Here's an example for the spring ORD-SPU

Not exactly an exciting destination, but if you're looking for oneworld miles in the US you can fly from San Francisco (SFO), San Jose (SJC), Sacramento (SMF), Ontario (ONT), or Palm Springs (PSP) to Westchester County (HPN) for $92-$94 one-way or $185 roundtrip on AA this Spring (April/May) or next fall (Sept/Oct).

Connection is in Charlotte or Chicago.

SFO-CLT-HPN r/t is 5706 miles which is 3.24 cents per mile. If you were collecting tier points you'd receive 50 for the roundtrip journey.
SFO-ORD-HPN r/t is 5150 miles which is 3.59 cents per mile. If you were collecting tier points you'd receive 20 for the roundtrip journey.

I'll spare my local editorial comments on HPN. It's roughly a $20 taxi ride to downtown White Plains, where you can take Metro North into Manhattan in about 45 minutes.
I'd call NYC exciting.

NYC Is exciting! I visit often and agree with your statement! However I know many people that would complain that what you described takes too long or is too difficult, so they would never fly to such a place. If they flew to White Plains they could basically claim they were stuck! If they are going to visit NYC then they'll fly into LGA or JFK. They are rather ignorant because it can easily take an hour or more to get from either of those airports into Manhattan, which is what they want. I sometime fly from CLT (where I live) to EWR because it's often cheaper as AA has to compete against Spirit and I have friends, family, co-workers that tell me I'm crazy for flying into Newark sometime because it's so difficult, but there are multiple options to get to NYC from EWR, it's NOT difficult! Guess they have more money than time!

To keep this thread on-topic, I guess I should try to post a deal.

In June there are dates where you can fly non-stop on American from CLT to BWI for $157 roundtrip.

To expand on the deal I posted yesterday to Ibiza - you can also fly from Washington-Dulles to Ibiza on TAP Air Portugal for $496. Not quite as good, but less than the usual $750+ roundtrip.

LIH (Kauai, Hawaii) to SAN (San Diego, California) non-stop for $197 roundtrip on Alaska Airlines on a few dates in the next month. These are Saver fares. Upgrade to Main for $60.





EDIT - Works in the other direction too.


EDIT #2 - Also works to Kahului Airport (OGG)

Another one to Hawaii and again very limited.

Las Vegas (LAS) to Kahului Airport (OGG) with a connection at LAX - $216 roundtrip basic economy on American Airlines or you can upgrade to Main Cabin for $80 more.

It looks like the $216 fare only works if you depart on April 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, or 29 and return on May 1, or if you depart April 24-29 or May 2-5 and return May 8, 2023, or if you depart many dates between April 24 and May 11, 2023 and return on either May 14 or 15.

MDW to TIA (Tirana International Airport - Albania) - $573 roundtrip on Delta and ITA on a few dates in the next month. Star Alliance flights to from ORD to TIA often drop lower than this price, but SkyTeam flights rarely get this low.
