Thanks for sharing. It appears to work in reverse as well, for those of us based in Austin.

Works from DAL to SJC or SFO, though it is slightly more expensive at $337.

Just a heads up this deal appears to be almost 4 hrs in a regional Jet. Good for earning but not comfort

Nope, it is actually more comfortable.
And it is not a regional jet. Well, it is an Embraer which is not in the same category as the Canadair monsters

Yeah I’d take the E175 over almost any other plane in the fleet, except maybe the old VX birds.

Thanks for this - needed a run or 2 to hit MVP75k this year - booked a same day AUS-SJC turn in Sept. Not bad for $300ish bucks.

Makes for a long day in The Club. I will often build some type of intra-CA turn just to keep moving while on this run.

Also west coast to East coast at low fares but Economy (low $300's), + promo double redeemable miles earned, so over 10k per trip + elite run.

Good for extra RDM but doesn't help with EQM for staus. AS paid F has a 75% class of service bonus which which is also EQM.

The E175 is a comfortable bird and if you are traveling solo, the 1-2 configuration allows you to have both a window seat and an isle seat at the same time.

If you're talking real estate Austin has us beat. When it comes to premium airfare deals I don't see too many good/great deals coming out of DFW, but I imagine AUS is the same way.
