You are correct.

Thanks! I booked one for 11/3. I did notice that a few dates in mid-Dec are also available. If you want to go for the weekend, you can depart on Sat 12/9 and return Mon 12/11.

Is our entire flight going to be MR's? I'm on 333/338 on the 3rd.

I'm doing 335/334 on 11/3. 335/336 on 12/6.

I'm returning to DTW at 7:30pm on 11/3, have a ton of stuff to do once home, then back to DTW at 10am on 11/4 for my 5th of 8 AA $165 F DTW-PHX .

OP here - Hey, there's a grand idea.... a nice weekend getaway to LA, where it's sure to be warm(er). Not too sure about myself going to the Motor City for a weekend though

Glad to see so many people jump on this... I was expecting this fare to be gone after a couple hours ^

I will be on 335/334 on both 11/3 and 12/6. It sounds like a FT green tag frenzy on these flights.

I was assured of Gold for this year but this is now making Platinum awfully tempting once again

Thanks to the OP.
No e-certs on PE500 fares.

That much closer to Plat, for me...

Ditto on thanks!

However, I bet there might be some decent MRs on NW/DL from LAX.
This hub-captive has gotten over it. For $0.298/EQM, I'll very much get over it. This is the best EQM I've ever gotten... but I'm slightly disappointed that I couldn't do 12/6 (personal timing issues). Non-stop west-cost red-eye turn-around MRs actually aren't that bad... drive from work to the airport, sleep on the way back, and be home to make breakfast. And finding one on a Fri/Sat (and not a T/W)... priceless.

Yup. $238s and $118s are all gone. But you can still do $196 DTW-SFO T/Ws.

I'm on 333/338 11/3. Sounds like a mini-do...

Sushi by A36, pre-flight? Wolfgang pizza in LA? And breakfast at the Coney Island?

I did look at the routing rules, but only to see where I could possibly route for a mr. Oh well, looks like you are correct. Again.

OP, if you get bored, here's the flights, if you want to start a headcount, for each flight.

DTW-LAX
335 - 9:28am-11:28am
327 - 12:24pm-2:19pm
337 - 3:33pm-5:33pm
333 - 5:28pm-7:30pm

LAX-DTW
326 - 5:30pm-12:41am
338 - 10:00pm-5:14am
334 - 12:30pm-7:54am

There are some declared flights in the thread, if you a list of handles, people will probably come out of the corners...
