AA: UK-US (BA destinations), from $471 a/i; early Summer travel, W fare
Apparently, a match by AA (and everyone else) of BA's recently announced fare. A decent fare for travel to many destinations through the end of June.
WLXWEBUB, on aa.com
Pricing using sample dates of 03JUN - 07JUN:
LHR-JFK, $471
LHR-ATL, $517
LHR-ORD, $520
MAN-ORD, $556
LHR-IAH, $582
EDI-BWI, $598
LHR-DFW, $606
LHR-LAX, $617

Tip du jour: for non-BA destinations, a Saturday departure with a Sunday return gets priced almost as if it were a connection. For example:
LHR-STL, 03JUN-07JUN, $666
LHR-STL, 05JUN-06JUN, $534
LHR-STL, 03JUN-07JUN, $666
LHR-STL, 05JUN-06JUN, $534

Also, AA doesn't seem to care how you get there. For example:
LHR-ORD-ATL-ORD-CDG-HEL-FRA-LHR,w/layovers in HEL and FRA, $600
100% AA flight numbers.
A less expensive route, without the layovers:
LHR-ORD-ATL-ORD-JFK-MAD-FRA-LHR, $559
LHR-ORD-ATL-ORD-CDG-HEL-FRA-LHR,w/layovers in HEL and FRA, $600
100% AA flight numbers.
A less expensive route, without the layovers:
LHR-ORD-ATL-ORD-JFK-MAD-FRA-LHR, $559

Multi-city search-by-price, requesting only AA flights:
LHR-ATL, 03JUN
ATL-HEL, 07JUN
HEL-FRA, 09JUN
FRA-LHR, 10JUN
As for ITA... I've never seen ITA price anything close to what I'm able to do on aa.com for these somewhat complex intra-European itineraries.

Awesome.
I am playing around with March, seems to work then too.
Nothing like doing a MR inside of a trip you have to do anyway!@:-)
I need to get to from FRA-ATL but those fares are more than $1000.
Might just do a positioning flight with Ryan.

How expensive are the taxes when using an eVIP out of LHR? With LHR-MIA-ORD-LAX-MIA-JFK-LHR, there are 3 segments each way, but when you have more than 3 segments, can you pick which ones you want to apply the eVIP to?

Keep in mind that one can only upgrade on AA metal, so in my example, you needn't worry about upgrading MAD-FRA or FRA-LHR.
