So, there's a much-overdue analysis of long-haul AGR awards by key city pairs (with some effort to figure out high-bucket and low-bucket pricing...I'm willing to update the listings if someone finds a fare outside the "brackets" which isn't a Saver fare). I'll take other requests, but here's my short list (broken down by type of award):

I'd like to note that in all cases, I've sought to avoid "crazy" awards (e.g. MIA-ELP). This has resulted in the partial exclusion of Florida from the calculations, something that is a side-effect of the Sunset East situation isolating the state from the rest of the system. With some of the Western routings, the routings may be slightly oddball, but I consider them to be valid insofar as there's been at LEAST one Western LD train having "issues" for the last few years (e.g. there are days or weeks where the Builder or Zephyr might regularly miss a connection).
