Continental Airlines Mileage Runs United Airlines

Continental/United IAD-SFO r/t $105 a/i

Matthew October 29, 2009 4 Comments

If you’re up at this late hour, you might want to take advantage of Continental’s IAD-SFO r/t fare for $105-115 including taxes–this deal will probably be gone by morning.

Codeshares on United available if you route through Chicago or Denver. For maximum mileage, route through Newark.

The rate is good for some dates in December and from the second week in January through EOS (end of schedule). Book it at continental.com.

I’ve never seen a transcon fare this cheap!

Wow, what a steal! Thanks for the heads up. Seems its also available SFO-IAD.

@Bored Room: Too late! You’ve got snap these deals up immediately. If the fare isn’t pulled, availability will disappear.

But we’ve been seeing so much quirky pricing from CO this week it wouldn’t surprise me if some more good deals pop up as CO irons out their integration into Star.
