Nice! I can't seem to get anything close to that from MCO, though. Bummer.

BWI-ABQ/TUS work also!

I just booked a ow flight into LAS before Thanksgiving for $77.

EDIT: Does anyone know an easy way to find out if there are other cities from BWI on this fare? I used to just do a FareCompare cpm search. Now I'm reduced to putting in random Western cities on ita and searching for 300 miles.

I tried kayak/explore and that doesn't even show this fare.

Great find OP. Things have been dry out of SAN for the past few months. Found a few dates SAN-SFO-EWR-BWI and return. Trying to add the IAH segment in the middle that the fare rules seem to allow but ita hangs up on me.

That map takes a little bit of time to update after fares are loaded, but it's another tool you can use. Looks like it's only SAN/ABQ/TUS/LAS - decent availability, but not across the board as one might hope when trying to do turns over the weekend.

Just booked BWI-IAH-LAX-SAN-SFO-ORD-BWI for $161. Sat/Sun run, out at noon back at 9am. Not a bad catch, IMO.

At my current 2012 Silver status, boils down to 2.7cp/eqm for me, while RDM is about 2.12. As my work already has me scheduled to hit Gold Premier by May this year, I'm sure my earnings will become a bit better on RDM

Nice find, OP! Love these Tuesday ex-BWI fares

Now *that* is fantastic. Book it and enjoy the flights Just don't expect too many upgrades, if any, as a silver

I bought five

I bought three roundtrips from BWI to SAN and one roundtrip to LAS for $155. I bought one roundtrip from BWI to AUS for $179.
Great deal by my standards. Thanks for the tip.

Also available on Orbitz and ITA:
CLD-LAX-EWR-BWI-EWR-LAX-CLD ($161)

Unfortunately I have no (good) way of getting to CLD -- otherwise I would book a few of these back to back!
