UA weekend MR ex-WAS in January?
I still have a couple UA upgrades that expire in January, so I was thinking might be good to do some mileage runs and take advantage of these. I haven't had much luck finding anything really good.
Does anyone see any weekend opportunities out of WAS (IAD/DCA/BWI)?
I already have Jan 30 BWI-ORD-(SFO)-LAS-EWR-BWI, with only SFO-LAS cleared so far.
BTW, I suspect this will credit as 5 segments (not 4), and if I'm right, it's probably worth a new thread on the UA forum.
Thanks, everyone!

I found a similar itinerary to your Jan 30th trip for Jan 16th.....: BWI-IAH-PHX-SFO-LAS-ORD-DCA for $400 (on my math, 5521 miles = 7.24cpm), but:
BWI-IAH : R9
IAH-PHX : R4
PHX-SFO : R4
SFO-LAS : R0
LAS-ORD : R4
ORD-DCA : R0

Priority is definitely fair CPM with confirmable R space. Was really hoping for 5-6 cpm. Wishful thinking.
Thanks for the great idea going thru PHX. Wish they made this easier to find, like they do with award tix. Will post what I get, once I find something.

UA:$324 DCA-POS rt 6486PQM 4.99cpm
What about something like this on 1/23: DCA-IAH-CUN-IAH-LAX-IAH-DCA
Sat 23 Jan UA:$280 IAD-LAX-IAH-DCA 4857PQM 5.75cpm RRR
Problem is, it starts and ends at different airports. A bit rougher especially on the weekend. The best option I could find was:Sat 23 Jan UA:$324 DCA-IAH-POS-EWR-DCA 6486PQM 4.99cpm GRRG
Although the 5:45am departure was R1, I opted for 7:57am departure which is still waitlisted at F7PN5R0. I think weekend chances on an RJ175 is pretty good. The overwater segments confirmed immediately. And since this counts as international, United Club access is included.Thanks for all the great suggestions, GroundStop!
UPDATE: DCA-IAH cleared at T-13 days. All upgradable segments have cleared.
