United's lack of a schedule in the winter out of my home airports has killed this for me, as i was planning to use UA miles to position to Denver, but on my dates of travel there are basically no options to get to Denver and not waste a ton of time in the process.

Same day turns work only if you do more than one RT. Multiple tickets are really only feasible if you live in DEN or NYC and don't have to position. Just start your tickets in the other (non-home) city, then you are at home for over a Sunday for as long as you want. Then start the next ticket the same day you arrive at the other (non-home) city on the final flight of your previous ticket.

It appears to be a wide-spread P class hiccup...just booked a r/t flight in First Class on AA from SLC-MCO, traveling 12/23-1/2 and it was only $531. The basic economy is $742 right now...
no its not, its $492ish (for more than a quick turn around) and it's widely available until February.
these are always fun when AA misfiles a P fare against this route. it has happened before, last time i paid $492 for a one way, so $492 for a round trip is an insane steal.
i just put one on hold for 485, credited to AS this is 4.85c/EQM, pretty unbeatable. 4 hour turnaround at JFK.

"FOR TRAVEL ON/AFTER 02JAN16 TRAVEL FROM LAST STOPOVER MUST COMMENCE NO EARLIER THAN THE FIRST SUN AFTER DEPARTURE FROM FARE ORIGIN."
(same language as the december time period)
flight 1 JFK-DEN 1/7 on ticket 1
flight 2 DEN-JFK 1/8 on ticket 2
flight 3 JFK-DEN 1/10 on ticket 2
flight 4 DEN-JFK 1/11 on ticket 1
Since you're flying from Denver on flight 2 on 1/8 before "the first Sun [1/10] after departure from fare origin," I think it's prohibited.
Anyone have actual experience with this? I'm just a tourist.

Flights originating in Denver at this low price appear to be sold out for December. I managed to book two flights in the last two weekends January and the flights were either empty or very light in F.

this particular DEN-JFK fare is a blatant mistake, selling a typical domestic P fare on the premium transcon 3-cabin product. these things happen occasionally, as skunker and i both mentioned upthread this is not the first time for AA, and UA has also done it before. last summer there was a UA mistake fare that allowed refundable C from JFK to various west coast cities for under $1k round trip.

Total mileage for this (in 2015), for an EXP is:
miles + EXP bonus + class-of-service:
JFK-LAX-DEN = 6674 x 2.5 = 16686
end-of-year bonus miles
12000 x 2 + 1000 x 2 = 26000 Total of 42686 RDM.
EQP wise, with end of year bonus: 6674 x 2 = 13348
So that is: 1.1 cpm for RDM; 3.6 cpm for EQP.
miles + EXP bonus + class-of-service:
JFK-LAX-DEN = 6674 x 2.5 = 16686
end-of-year bonus miles
12000 x 2 + 1000 x 2 = 26000 Total of 42686 RDM.
EQP wise, with end of year bonus: 6674 x 2 = 13348
So that is: 1.1 cpm for RDM; 3.6 cpm for EQP.
Just trying to clarify (??) and looking at 2016 when presumably the bonus will be gone...and when there may be other changes
JFK-LAX-DEN RT P class $487
6674 x 2.5 = 16686 RDM for an EXP
6674 x 1.5 = 10,011 EQP
6674 EQM for any elite, or about 7.5 cpm (same as 2015)
And as far as the P fare rules: nonrefundable, but changeable with a $200 change fee. Correct?
