A Couple Things

Cute story from lucky on how he got started..

One Mile at a Time » How I got started mileage running…..

IAH/EWR/ATL-HNL are showing around $250 all-in for travel through at least February of next year.

Hat-tip to Flyertalk and SAT Lawyer in particular:

UA: IAH/ATL/EWR-HNL, $192.94 ($254.90+ all-in)

---

UA has a base fare of $192.94 from IAH-HNL, which appears to be good through the end of schedule. It’s a T fare (TE03NR1), the rules permit travel from Sunday through Friday, and there’s a three day minimum stay requirement for Sunday through Thursday departures and a Saturday-night stay requirement for Friday departures. For the sample itinerary I pulled up on united.com (12/4 out; 12/7 in), taxes and fees are $61.96, for a total of $254.90 all-in.

Qantas has come out with excellent fares to Australia, some as low as $800 from the West Coast. United has matched many of these fares which is quite good for US-based flyers. These fares, just a couple of weeks ago, were up in the $1800 range. Definitely worth checking out.
