Yul - anywhere w/US travel voucher
Hi All , I have a USAIR travel. voucher worth 650.00. I'm looking to use this for a mileage run. Need to use it before april 25th and would prefer to leave on a friday night or sat and return next day, so 1 or 2 night in hotel is ok.
I will go anywhere , but prefer warm place , if not then Europe . but as i said, anywhere is ok.
I've done some searching but did not find anything interesting.
I know some of you are real experts , so i thought i'd post it.
Cheers

Thanks for the addition - I wasn't thinking of the voucher not being good even if booked through US.

Check out the Hawaii flights (HNL/OGG). I've seen <$550 flights on us.com through mid-april. Should be a decent-enough MR on a voucher.

I did search , was not able to find price that low. Do you recall what date your saw the fare at?
I was not able to find anything under 850.00

Also, at $200 out of pocket, that works out to 1.9cpm for 10kPQMs. Not bad at all.

I called USair , they say I must "book" by April 25th , but no need to travel by then. So, I have all of 2012 to use the voucher. Perhaps some of you know of when Hawaii or Europe is cheapest on Usair?
Many thanks.
Many thanks.

YUL-MADRID is pricing at $770 in April. It's a little bit more if you want a quick weekend trip (over Fri, back Mon). But certainly worth a shot... Madrid hotels can be inexpensive too.
BCN and MAD seem to be the least expensive European destinations right now.
