Looking for DFW-LAS flight
Looking for a single economy ticket from DFW to LAS. Dates/times are pretty specific...flying out July 19th in the afternoon, coming back July 21st in the afternoon/evening. Here is what I have:
Membership Rewards: 125k
Ultimate Rewards: 5k (but about $200 away from the spending required for 50k bonus)
BA Avios: 27k
AAdvantage: Not enough to make any difference here
First thought was BA, but no availability at all. I double checked the AA site and nothing in sAAver. I also checked United (50k miles), Delta (40k miles), Air Canada (no availability), Alaska (no availability) and Virgin America (14,700 points=29,400 MR). Cash flight is about $380. Are there any other options I should be checking? I also tried BA to PHX, DEN and a few other cities between DFW and LAS but no luck on anything. Thanks!

Yes thanks, I always forget about Southwest. Just checked and it is 30,719 so that is probably the best non-cash option so far (since Virgin flies to SFO then back to LAS).
**Update** Oops, looks like Southwest, United and anything requiring UR is out. After perusing through the Sapphire preferred thread, looks like the 50k bonus points take two statements to post. Looks like it's an MR partner or cash.

Serious? I had carry-on backpack (big one) and had no problems bringing it in. I would not fly them if its $100 fee.
