US$1,944.80 if you use P0LXCST instead.

The higher fare via SFO is substantially more miles though. 12.2cpm for cheaper fare versus 10.9cpm for the higher fare.
Below 6c per EQM if flown and credited to UA, and all in paid J.

So you guys are booking separate trips to get to and return from YVR to take advantage of this fare?
One of you coming from Hawaii and the other from SFO?
Too bad you can't just originate from SFO and discard the segments between SFO and YVR.

I understand that. And this year, it seems most of the J fare deals are for flights originating outside the US.
But in my case, I'd fly SFO-YVR for the positioning flight only to fly through SFO on the way before the TPAC segment. And that would be both ways?
Already have a TPAC flight booked at the end of January or I would strongly consider this, assuming I could book on UA.

You can route through LAX if you want to try something different on the P fare.
In past years the UA good deal P fares from YVR to SIN showed routings through DEN for extra miles, but not this time.
If you have the time and patience, it's not so bad; with some practice, you can train your mind into enjoying the positioning.
The AC lounges in YVR are great and the airport is fun and easy.

Where should I be staying? Lately, I've given up and started staying across the border in Bellingham instead...

I've stayed at Holiday Inn when it was new a few years ago as well as Hampton Inn - both were clean and decent. Maybe you have higher standards, but those were just fine by me.

My outbound flight departs at 2:30pm. I'll fly up from SFO the same day (I'll be there for NYE), so no need for a hotel.
kevino I did see some return flights through DEN.

Every hotel I've tried in Richmond has been miserable - the Sheraton/Hilton/Marriott complex is awful, and the Four Points isn't any better. The Westin and the Fairmont are never affordable.

It's where CX crew stays. The 4Points used to be cheaper before the renovations. It's where CZ and other crews stay.You can easily take the SkyTrain into town and stay at a hotel downtown if there is a good promo going on or if you want more touristy options.
Bellingham is a hassle by bus bc of clearing immigration and customs.
Pat89339, it's always good not to have to worry about a hotel NYE.
