LoneStar Posted March 8, 2005 Report Posted March 8, 2005 Check out the mileage run section of flyertalk.com for the details. It was one of those 2 hour pricing mistakes. FWIW, I missed it by about a half hour (the fares were still loaded on Orbitz, but I couldn't get it to price). Don't feel too bad for me, though: in the last month, I've bought $50 transcons and $35 flights to Florida for X-mas. Needless to say, I recommend purusing that portion of flyertalk! I will say I "don't get" folks who will fly across the world and head right back just for the mileage -- only makes sense to me if you at least get a vacation out of the whole thing. :)
magic111 Posted March 8, 2005 Author Report Posted March 8, 2005 http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=393728I think the best quote I ever read about going to the MR forum on FT on a daily basis was something like this,"It should be done like daily dental flossing. The end results our very worthwhile."I also like the inexpensive vacations and a very low fare sometimes determines where that vacation will be.
LoneStar Posted March 8, 2005 Report Posted March 8, 2005 The only thing magic is that you're on the West Coast. I don't think I would have bought the HNL tickets from there. It's a LOT of extra distance, and you won't really wind up saving any money (cost of SFO to EWR ticket). You will earn a ton of miles, however. :)

LoneStar Posted March 10, 2005 Report Posted March 10, 2005 Yeah, I forgot about the requalification thresholds (I have lifetime status at an airline, I don't need to requalify). It obviously makes the distance more "worthwhile." If I needed to requalify, I'd probably buy one of those $400 roundtrips to Asia you see once in awhile. Kind of "justifies" a vacation there. :)
