Need 6 EQS on UA from ABE for 1P

I'd like to keep the price under $300 but I think I've waited too long. I can only fly 12/6, 12/7, 12/13, 12/27 & 12/28. The best I can find is ABE-IAD-ORD-STL-ORD-IAD-ABE for $330. It takes all day lv at 6:00 AM and don't get back til 11:30 PM. Don't want to drive to EWR or PHL. Anything better out there?

They'll probably move this thread to Mileage Run Discussion but try Santa Ana or Portland or Vegas

I wouldn't wait till Dec 27/28 ... that's cutting it pretty close.

Look at farecompare to find a low fare, then ita to see how well it connects.

ABE-MKE, for example, looks like it meets your requirements.

DEC 6, starting at 6AM, returning home a little after 9PM:
ABE-IAD-CLE-ORD-MKE-ORD-ABE for $245 AI ... other routings possible.

ABE-ORL also looks possible.

Good luck.

Thanks for trying. Great price but I have to do it on a Sat or Sun. Already tried LAS & PDX.

Thank you very much. I booked the MKE trip. One of the places I didn't think of. As long as the weather doesn't wreck the trip as it did during the double miles promo, I'll be a happy camper.
