^ Great find! I am in for Columbus Day weekend. I was going to wait and see if there was a NW match but then I saw the booking class and knew that wasn't going to get a match !

Great find, thx OP!
DTW-GEG (and v/v) is also interesting, but not quite as interesting as MSP-GEG

I've never seen fares this cheap to GEG from DTW which is amazing for me since I live in DTW and my family is near GEG. I often have problems finding a decent fare. I don't do MRs on UA but this is a fare I'll actually use for real travel since my preferred airline usually isn't competitive on this route

Thanks Noelene =)

Should I decide to cancel a fully refundable fare with UA, how will they refund? Put the amount back on the original form of payment? If so, then I will book a First trip and decide later if I can actually make it while in Seattle in October

I was able to do a same day turn, MSP-DEN-GEG-DEN-CLT-MSP, in A, for even more miles!

This is the best find out of MSP in a looooong time!

It has been a while since I needed to concern myself with this problem, are miles awarded based on the fare basis or the booking class?

Considering whether this is worth driving back and forth between SEA and GEG to catch...

GS for $1400?
