AA: LAX-ORD $177 ai (fare match/drop 1/31)
 

Plenty of same-day return from Jan to Feb 14, looks like a match to V America

Not as good as a few weeks ago, but still good. You can also do SFO - ORD for the same price and 2.9 cpm.

SFO-LAX-ORD will net you even more, but it's impossible to do a same day return for that with AA's current route schedule.

thanks peter!!! gonna book so many of these right now

yes sir !!

booked. nice.

First post here and first mileage run booked!

SFO -> LAX -> ORD, ORD -> DFW -> SFO: $240.50

Looks like I won't get double miles for the ORD -> DFW leg, but figured as it was the same cost I might as well.

I'm not sure you'll get any DEQMs if you don't have the same leg on both trips (either both LAX-ORD, or both LAX-DFW). I could be wrong though, but that's my understanding.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think you'll get ANY DEQMs for that routing. I believe the promotion requires a RT flight from SFO/LAX - ORD/DFW. This looks like it'll net you 4511 miles at 5.3 cpm. You'd be better off just booking a RT SFO-ORD ticket for 7384 miles.

AA will let sometimes let you cancel your ticket if you do it within 24 hours so you might want to do so...

I think you should *email* (not call) AA and find out if this qualifies. Like the other responses, I am running under the assumption that it doesn't...but as always, the T&C are far from clear. If you can get a response (even incorrect) in writing that a specific PNR qualifies, then you can go back and ask for credit.

In addition to the DEQM, the following 10% discount code may come in handy for some:
10% to LAX - 01/16/12 - 01/25/12 = 4412AZ
Of course, the flights have to be to LAX from either ORD or DFW not originating there.

just booked 5 same-day turn saturdays in a row
jan 14-feb 11
1155 ord-lax
681 lax-ord

see you there

Thankfully I just reserved the fare initially. Changed it to SFO/LAX/ORD both ways to be sure.

I assume there is currently no code for flight orginated from LAX, right? :-(

Here's a code to ORD that might be useful: 5% to ORD - 01/23 -12 - 01/25/12 = 3212AV

That sucks, I just finished a ORD-LAX-SFO-ORD flight this week and have another one next week.
