[FARE GONE] UA/CO: BWI-LAS/SAN RT $222ai (also ABQ/TUS/AUS/SAT/OKC)
 

Repeat of mid-week sales over the last month or so.

Sample: Mar 13-14 BWI-EWR-LAS-SFO-BWI $222, 5252 miles (4.2cpm), 5760mi (3.9cpm) with 500-mile minimums.

Scattered other dates available. Similar fares to ABQ/TUS/OKC/AUS/SAT but less worthy of mileage runs.

Good variety of cities in there. Thanks!

Found BOS-ATL-LAS for $239 on Delta March 20.

Also March 20 for same price, BOS-DCA/PHL-LAS on US or you can take AA outbound through JFK/LAX for lower cpm.

seems they pulled them

Indeed. These have been regular but short-lived (and generally increasing in price as they reappear -- they started at $155 with a wider variety of cities and better availability when they first appeared 4-5 weeks ago).

I recall that UA had sales from BWI in a similar pattern last year. Does anyone remember when they started and how long they kept coming back up? I've got BWI-SAN still to fly from the tail end of the sales last year, so they must have kept reappearing until at least early April.

Keep your eyes open in case this year is like the last. Google Flights has been useful for checking, but they sometimes display the fares hours past when they're pulled.

I am connecting on the last leg of the SAN - BWI MR at this hour. I bought the ticket in Dec or Jan for $153. Upgraded on all legs.

Yeah, there was one sensational BWI to Western sale that many flyertalkers (including me) loaded up on a few weeks ago. But UA seems to be targeting these cities regularly for some retaliatory purpose. I'm figuring it must be WN because nobody else has a meaningful operation at that airport.

These things come and go. Last year, UA targeted US at PHL for retaliation and we got similar transcon fares from there. These fares tend to be the lowest per mile fares available from the area, and obviously make nice cheap leisure trips.

Boy, did we. Total of seven (7) SAT-BWIs for this MRing FTer. :)

I keep getting phone calls from UA/CO announcing schedule changes on my BWI itineraries -- like once a week. Just yesterday, I got a call from a UA rep in India telling me my May flight would now be operated by "Continental Airlines" (and shifted by 5 minutes). I said "OK, thanks for letting me know." But I thought there was no more Continental Airlines after this Saturday. Did the word not reach India yet?

same exact thing has been happening to me for my flight at the end of May

mine was suppose to be a 737, then swapped to A319, schedule change was huge, so got rebooked through DEN instead

gone?

Well played. Schedule change can often be your best friend.

I'm pretty sure you can still book full fare. :D
