AS - YVR-JFK - 1017 CAD / $748 r/t - Domestic First

Alaska Airlines - Vancouver, Canada (YVR) to New York City (JFK / EWR) - 1017 CAD / $748 USD roundtrip in domestic first.

The cheapest date to travel is April 23, 2024, with a same-day turnaround, but the weeks of April 14 and April 21 have roundtrips around $755. This is technically two one-way fares, so if you were able to find space at the cheapest fare codes you could originate in NYC.

Ticket must be issued by March 31. Travel by April 26. No stopovers.

YVR-SEA-JFK-SEA-YVR

14.724 cents USD per Mile

There is another fare with the same base fare and additional routing options if you wanted to try to improve your mileage earning.

Spoiler
 


You could add a connection in Phoenix (PHX) for example (the return trip is using a more expensive fare code, unfortunately).
6758 Miles @ $1009 r/t = 14.923 cpm

Spoiler
 


Or you can stop at Phoenix in one direction.
5919 Miles @ $837 r/t = 14.129 cpm

Spoiler
 


Or add a connection in Chicago.
5098 Miles @ $758 r/t = 14.806 cpm

Spoiler
 


A one-way with an additional connection in Phoenix.
3379 Miles @ $481 r/t = 14.224 cpm

Spoiler
 


Adding a connection at SFO or LAX isn't worth it! This is 25 cpm.

Spoiler
 


Adding a connection at PDX also isn't worth it.

Remember that if you credit to AS, SEA-YVR will earn 500 RDMs and EQMs each way. That bumps YVR-SEA-JFK up to 2,921 miles each way.

Thanks for the reminder! Some other programs like Iberia will award Avios based on the 500 mile minimum, but not Elite Points.

don’t forget the 50% class-of-service EQM bonus … net ~4380 EQM each way

Yup! The YVR-SEA-PHX-JFK example I posted above would earn 5628 EQM one-way for $480.62 or 8.54 cents per EQM, which is quite good for domestic first!
