Having been to both Newark and Salt Lake City in the past few weeks, I've got to disagree about the "not as exciting part." Paris and San Francisco are "world-class" cities. Salt Lake City is beautiful, people are nice, prices are reasonable, the food is OK. Great airport, too. Newark has, well, nothing much going for it. This one's easy, kids. Get the ---- out of New Jersey!

One of the nice things about this deal is it helped me lower an upcoming flight from OAK-NYC...
Kept trying to find reasonable fares on UAL, but the lowest I could find in April was $600!
When I changed it to OAK-LAX-SLC-DEN-EWR-DEN-SLC-LAX-OAK, the fare came down to a reasonable $343 with taxes...
Not exactly the most direct route, but why would I want that anyway?

Thanks.

Thanks.
The good thing about being a 1K is that I had a $79 LGA-DFW ticket for April 7 which was made back in early January.
I had forgotten about the exact dates I was going to do this run when I booked my HKG mileage run/vacation. It turns out I'll be in HKG on the weekend of the 7th.
I was expecting the $79 ticket to be sunk cost. As luck would have it, this fare came out.
I called the 1K desk and they were nice enough to apply the $79 (LGA-DFW) ticket on to this $143 (EWR-SLC) ticket without the nasty change fee.
