Not really a mileage run unless you'd consider it thus based in part of getting to come to Hawaii. Nonetheless, given recent pricing, it's a really good deal.

@ 6cpm, agreed not a MR, but for AA, it's a real chore to find anything south of 5cpm. Is it just me, even the 4cpm opportunities on AA require a positioning flight to take advantage of, which blows out the value of the run, and adds complexity/connection risk. Of course, I'm in DFW, so maybe just have to be patient, or find a different strategy (segments ?)
I think I'd rather spend the extra 1 cpm, lay on the beach a few hours before climbing back on board a plane
... rather than go to Ho Chi Minh City for the 4cpm run

Fare has been pulled.
I bought this a few days ago for the first weekend in May. Didn't think it was good enough to do a same-day turn, but it gave me an excuse for a mini vacation.
Even though I could have gotten a few extra miles for connecting in LAX/SFO, I chose not to for fear of the 757 (and to get more time on the beach 
). Now hopefully I get upgraded.
