UA: NYC-SXM (Caribbean) $286 a/i
I know it's not MR status but it's still a very good fare to the Carribean this time of year. My dates are Mar 19-23.
I booked on united.com but they have the same deal on orfritz and traveloschitty.

CO is pricing out at $314 or so AI for their EWR-SXM non-stop. Not a great CPM ratio, but since I need to go to SXM anyway, I jumped on it.

I bought DTW-IAD-SXM for 244$ ai on UA last year and remember a similar US offer available at the same time via CLT.
I was toying with the CLT option but held back. Lucky for me this was the week where US/HP systems merged and the US pax were stranded/overnighted in CLT.

Amazing. When I was doing this route just a few years ago, AA and I think CO and US were the only ones flying there from the US. And not many flights from any of them kept fares very high. Winter fares over $700. Shows you how good competition is!

Carry Over to BOS...
Hopefully, this will carry over to BOS, since its a B6 fare....
Last year we had to use a Buy 1 for 1 coupon on US, but this would keep me coming back year after year if I got a good fare!

Same price on US ($89 each way ++) for various dates in Feb and March. Looks like a 3 day advance purchase and 3 night stay required.
Flights are mostly wide open up front, great upgrade potential for elites. In fact, I may just have to take advantage of this before I drop from CP to ?? in a few weeks.
