If it is showing as H then it is most likely 100%

There are quite a lot of UA discount F tickets that book into Z and so also "only" earn 100%

It is showing as fare coding HXXXX but books into A.

You will get 300% !

Now a real concern: What are your experiences with CO-Terminals ?

Could I just go to LAX and depart from there to SFO ? And respectively return to LAX as well ?

No. And respectively, highly unlikely at least during regular operations.

Just wait till a schedule change happens. Then, call and be charming.

If still confirmed ex-ONT, don't show just show up at LAX. Rent a car for $25 all-in one-way Westside-to-ONT from Hertz.co.uk, get 1700 bmi miles, and drive to ONT for the insane 6AM flight. At SFO on the return, I am quite certain I'll be able to talk my way onto the SFO-LAX vs. SFO-ONT flight.

Hi Collin and thank you for another great find! ^

What do you think my chances are of showing up at BUR instead of ONT? I'm 10 min away from it, it would be nice if I could avoid the 1+ hour long trip to ONT.

True SFO-(ONT,BUR,SNA,LAX),but difficult to get the F seat.

The outbound is very difficult not to fly as is,but possible to try elsewhere.

I pulled the trigger on 2 of these this morning !

That brings me roughly 50K with LH and should secure my SEN Status for the next years ^

Exactly like Colin stated I will use Hertz for a convenient transfer to ONT renting at Hollywood HLE.

What do you mean by "2 of these". Are you flying twice?

Sounds like SkywalkerLAX bought two tickets for two trips (one for each trip). @:-)

IB: MSP to Barcelona (BCN) base of $602

Found this possible fare using the Discounted First Class and FT fares searching from MSP. Appears to book on some codeshare flights on AA.

Airline: ESIberia(IB)
Fare Class: P1PROUS
Base: $602
Total: $685
Distance: 8664
PPM: $0.08

I can never figure out how to get this tool to work, so I am not sure if it is bookable and I am more of a Skyteamer myself. If you click on the fare it brings up a search window, and then a lot of options.... yadda, yadda... I'll let someone else investigate it further. Feel free to give me some suggestions on how to actually check out the fares found with this tool.

This has been on farecompare for a while. when I looked into it I think I figured out that IB P class is actually economy... farecompare has not figured this out yet.

P is economy class on IB. IB does not have a first class cabin.
