IAH MR on UA - possible at a good price?

I am new to the MR concept, but very interested in trying this out! However, I live in Houston and am a loyal UA Mileage Plus member, and unfortunately there are not so many great deals coming from my location on UA.

Any suggestions/ideas would be appreciated!

HOU-NYC R/T for $118+ this weekend is probably the cheapest right now.

You might consider moving to Las Vegas, we've been very lucky this year. Mind you, it's an all-TED city.

gforce - I went to UA's web site to look up this fare yesterday afternoon, and there it was. I went back an hour later, and it was up to $155. Then a couple of hours after that, it was up to $600+. So frustrating! Thanks anyway for the pointer.

sunnyhere - I've seen that Vegas gets some of the best deals on UA. I plan to put it on my "to see" list, since the ticket prices are always so inexpensive.

a 160+ iah-sea L fare just showed up for UA on farecompare tonight...I don't think it has hit the booking systems yet...but should soon. This is about as good as it gets domestically on UA from iah at about 4 cents per eqm (estimated) not counting taxes.
