What are the conditions? This is terrific, esp if it is upgradable!

Not very many restrictions on this one - it's a T fare. Good for May 4 to Sep 30, any day, not time or day of week restricted unlike other cheap fares.

It's also upgradeable (not with miles though).

Excuse my stupidity but is there a non stop from Buffalo to LAX, and return? This is such a great deal!

According to Travelocity, NW, AA, US have all matched...

AFAIK, nobody does it non-stop, though (but that would be fewer miles anyway, so...)

Only when JFK is closed. Then jetBlue has been known to do LGB-BUF.

Nope there isn't. The point of mileage runs is AVOIDING nonstops and squeezing as many miles as you can for the same fare... which is why a desirable routing would be LAX-JFK-IAD-BUF... or even LAX-SFO-JFK-IAD-BUF

I'm from Buffalo and now live in Los Angeles. Just wanted to mention that I go home 4 times a year and have never paid over 200.00. It's usually 178.00 or so. I am going home july 3rd and it was 200.00 booked it about a month ago. If there are those out there who have an interest in doing buffalo runs, just know that you can do them frequently.
