AA: MIA/AMS 4th of July w-end $1434 a/i biz class

Longtime lurker, first time posting a m/r deal...Have been checking fares on this route for a couple weeks and it had been pricing out around $1500 for the cheapest economy...checked tonight and scored 2 tix for $633 each way in biz routing through BOS and LHR. AA's Price & Schedule grid showed this fare as cheaper than economy. Put on hold, called AA Plat desk to make sure legit and the rep freaked out when she pulled up the record locator. Said thank you very much, went back online and booked. Not bad for staying in on a friday night!

Looked around and looks like to do MIA/LHR prices out to $599 each way before taxes.

Good luck!

nice fare, but calling the airline (therefore alerting them to the deal) is likely to make it harder for others to book.

It's still available... MIA/BOS-CDG/LON/AMS with fare basis IR00SL - valid for travel from March 26 to August 31.

UA/CO/AC/LH have matched the fares for MIA/BOS-LON.

I suppose this is obvious to many but ~$1200 plus two EVIPs is a pretty darn good deal for MIA-LON/AMS/CDG in F over the summer

Cant seem to find a routing from Boston that would allow an EVIP u/g....

The BOS-LON is on 757 and has only Business class. Its only the return that can be upgraded to F.

AA have an MXP/FCO- GRU return I fare for about $2800 - twice the price but also twice the distance

It can be routed MXP-LHR-DFW-GRU-DFW-LHR-MXP to take advantage of the B777s and eVIPs

I have this on hold

That's not bad at all!
But I think the AA central america deal will be just perfect for me to top up my BA account.
There are a few Z fares on *A from Europe-US that aren't bad also
