US: OAK/SJC - ATL ... ~580 a.i. in First.
Now granted, US domestic first is at best "Business Minus".
But at around $580 all in, not a bad run especially for BD and LH.
A little over 2300 miles each way
Bookable on usairways.com, routed thru PHX.
I haven't had a chance to play with routings, it would become a fairly spectacular fare if it allowed 4 segs thru PHL.

My gut says this is a "mistake" fare since it's ~exactly half of the competitors' *UPs; i.e., it's pricing out as a 1 way. And price sales are rarely, if ever, on YUPs. But not a Chapter 11 mistake. Nice find OP. Especially if someone needs this route anyway.
You can go thru PHX and CLT for $10 more. Not too many more miles, but better segs.

$586.50 5184 base miles. Since it is an A fare that will earn about 15552 base miles on BD/LH. Not bad.

This statement is way out of date. UA gives full credit for US flights. If the ticket books into A, you're looking at 150% for both EQM and RDM + elite bonus. Unfortunately no BIS miles.

The'ye earning 6,710 QM & 11,183 RM (credited to United 1K) for a 4 seg trip; 2 x 7,721 QM & 2 x 12,868 RM for two 5-seg trips. Total $1,761.50 for 22,152 QM & 36,919 RM on 10 FC seg + 4 RJ seg. Not the greatest deal ever, but I fly this route on my own dime about 16 times per year and don't like coach.

I found $584 ai from PDX to ATL on 3/22, same say return, in F. A flexible date search reveals many date options for this fare.
Cannot find it for SEA, though. Dammit.

Just booked July 27, same-day return, SJC-LAS-ATL-PHX-SJC. I'm not having much luck pricing out anything more than a 6-seg itinerary, and the multi-city option is booking it at over $1600 - only the roundtripper worked
