AS : EWR - HNL $363 RT - Alaska MVP in 2 RT@



- Google Flights Links

- 4,964 miles in one Round Trip, should earn at 100% , there is also a 50% EQM promo but it ends 12/31



- existing elites will earn even more and may get upgraded so it will be less painful

Error 1: Round Trip is 9,932 miles!

Error 2: Two round trips won't qualify for MVP.

Error 3: Earn more what? No additional EQM for AS Elites but will earn Elite RDM bonus.

Error 4: These are Saver fares! Limited seat selection in the back of the plane. Saver fares are ineligible for upgrades, even for Elites.

Alaska mailed 22% coupons

Check your emails, it seems to be a tailored code.

Check the Alaska Air forum. Lots of good info there and much more discussion on the coupon that went out yesterday.

Depending where you fly, AA has had some really good deals to the west coast where I've taken advantage of good partner redemptions (gotta check booking codes, the cheap ones are only 25% miles). Also doesn't hurt to check neighbor island flights. Usually when I'm searching I add the other islands as sometimes it's easy to take a cheap flight over for a better deal. Ex. I've flown a lot of DFW-PHX-OGG recently (more because of 787 routes) on AA then OGG-HNL on HA or WN.

Love seeing a thoroughly thought out and super informational James post outside of the sheltered world of the AS threads!
