JetBlue has a SFO-BOS $99 one way route sale and United Airlines responds with $108.20 each way for flights from Nov 29-Dec 14. BOS-SFO is on sale Nov 30-Dec 13.
United’s total round trip ticket price SFO-BOS or BOS-SFO is $216.40 during this sale period with a choice of 5 daily nonstop flights from SFO and 4 daily nonstop flights from BOS.
This sale had me checking out Wyndham brand hotels in New Hampshire and Maine for a quick trip on a cheap fare to Boston and a chance to knock out three Wyndham stays for 15,000 bonus points with Visa Checkout promotion running through February 2018.
Loyalty Traveler – Wyndham Visa Checkout 3 stays earn 15,000 points Nov 1-Feb 28, 2018
If I did not already have a big December trip to Europe in the works, this looks like a good one-way to Boston airfare to combine with a Drive-to-Florida cheap car rental special.
Drive to Florida $5/day Dollar rental car deals Sep 4-Dec 10.
There are also some deals flying United Miami to SFO.
United Airlines Miami – San Francisco nonstop $98.20 one way
Those UA fares are basic economy. Not sure why anyone would buy that over the Jetblue fare which is matching.
Star Alliance elite miles is my interest in these fares.
Where are you earning qualifying miles on an N fare?
Aegean Miles+Bonus earns 50% Tier Miles for United N fare.

I could use a 4,000 mile UA ticket to qualify for Aegean Gold/Star Alliance Gold.
