LAX origin in UAL
I've been looking around for good deals on UAL. They're allegedly matching the $198 coast to coast deals, but I've seen no evidence of this to BOS, PWM, or MIA.
About the best value I see is $520 to CDG.
I'd really prefer to go to Melbourne, but fares there are over $1K.
Any ideas originating from LAX?

They're not matching the cities you listed because they do not compete against Southwest on those routes. Look at Baltimore and Tampa, for instance, where they do compete.
There are also some very good winter fares to Europe that must be booked on the UA web site in the $400 range.

I priced two sample routes on the UA web site in February. LAX to CDG (Paris)priced out at $449 including all taxes, and LAX to LHR (London Heathrow) priced out at $414, including all taxes.

What's your goal, max segments per dollar or max miles per dollar, or...??? In general, the long hauls would be good for max miles but if you are going for segments, then domestic USA's.

I'm looking at doing things a bit smarter, like going to the furthest destinations I can, internationally. While keeping miles per dollar in mind. I guess that means SIN or DEL. DEL is over 19K miles rt. LAX-SIN is 17.5K rt.
