DL: SFO-BOS: $340 in P One-Way in December

DELTA (Edit, sorry guys)

Not sure if it qualifies as a great deal, but it certainly isn't bad. Lots of availability (I booked Dec 18), stops in MSP or DTW, tons of open seats.

About $259 cheaper than JetBlue Mint! (though, that is nonstop)

Can we assume this is DL? You should specify the airline in the title in this forum.

P earns 200% of base mileage EQM and RDM on Alaska, and is almost exactly 5cpm. I think that's a very good deal in a premium cabin, not just because of the price, but because you could potentially earn 11k EQM comfortably and in only 4 segments. For the time-constrained status runner, this is very good.

Same day turn ex-BOS if you don't mind a redeye for $701 RT if you don't mind a redeye on the way back. Still 5.16 cpm.

Pardon me guys, it is indeed Delta. I forgot to write that in. Maybe an admin can help me fix that beginner's mistake.

It's not a huge deal. I wasn't pointing it out to give you a hard time.

Also, ex-BOS you can route via SEA for Dec 9-12 if you have time for a weekend trip. 12700 EQM on AS, 5.8cpm.

Yep, it is indeed a 200% fare. I personally credit DL flights to my KL FB account, so I get almost 6000 level miles + 8000+ award miles (Platinum earning) for it. Really not bad. If I had the time I'd fly this a few times to pad my mileage

Yup, good deal - $340 is the cheapest I've ever bought for DL connecting transcon F. Typically $400-500 each way.

I tried many dates going through JFK and it's much more expensive.

At that rate? Where can you find the same price?

Seeing similar availability from FLL, PBI & MIA in the 340's-360's in Dec as well.

+1 This is awesome for those focusing on AS ^. I have recently found it easier and cheaper to buy up to a DL P fare a few times a year and not have to MR.
