Last month, Delta introduced the following promotion for flights originiating and terminating in the following cities: Raleigh-Durham (RDU), St. Louis (STL), Pittsburgh (PIT), Nashville (BNA)
5,000 bonus miles plus double MQMs when you fly to Delta hub cities—Atlanta, Cincinnati, Detroit, Memphis, Minneapolis, New York/JFK and Salt Lake City 10,000 bonus miles plus double MQMs for flights to all other cities in the U.S., Canada, Mexico and the ...Another great deal for all you Star Alliance mileage runners and those wishing to visit St. Louis from Los Angeles or LAX from STL.
United is offering Los Angeles - St. Louis r/ts from the end of August through December for $160 round-trip including taxes. Depart on Tuesday, Wednesday, or Saturday. Same day turns are available. Book at united.com.
The best same-day routing I found was LAX-DEN-STL-SFO-LAX. If you're willing to overnight in STL, you can route through DFW and ORD (LAX-DFW-ORD-STL-ORD-DFW-LAX) for even more miles. That itinerary would earn 5,074 base miles.
As always with these cheap fares, book now if you are interested.

Check out this thread on FT, and book fast if you are interested.
TACA earns 100% RDMs on UA and they offering roundtrip fares for as low as $134 r/t (including taxes) from New York, Washington, and Chicago. This is likely a "sale" fare.
If you are creative in your routing, you can visit Costa Rica, El Salvador, and Panama in the same trip.
This fare will likely be dead in a couple hours. Book now (I used Orbitz) and ask questions later--you will have 24 hours to cancel.
I had the chance to join Lucky for some mileage running over the weekend and was able to snag a great fare to Seattle. The only catch: I had to get up to Newark or LaGuardia to start the run. I chose Newark because it was easier to get to from Philadelphia's 30th Street Train Station.
