[DEAD] AA: AUS-SFO, SFO-AUS (via DFW) for $171 ai [DEQM]

I'm seeing $172 round trip fares on select Tue, Wed, and Sat between Austin and San Fran on AA. With DEQM promotion for select residents, that's 6900 EQM's, or 2.5cpm.

Sample 0 day trips (updated 4/7 21:18 CST):

SFO-AUS April 17, 24; May 1, 2, 5, 7, 29, 30, 31
AUS-SFO April 21, 24, 28; May 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 12, 29, 30

Thanks to Biblioman1, there are discount codes good for 5-8% off to SFO in the promo thread -- bringing price down to $161 2.3cpm!

First time opening a thread, but didn't see this covered anywhere yet.

Great deal. SFO is getting some love from AA in the the form of cheap MR currently.

Thanks everyone. I did book a trip with a friend on Saturday May 12th (zero day). In the event anyone else is interested in joining, feel free to PM me.

For those who are booking, be sure to choose the routing that goes through DFW if you want the double EQM's.

Cheers!

For those in need of segments... You can route AUS-DFW-LAX-SFO-LAX-DFW-AUS all in one day for $178.80. $ per EQM is almost the same but it's $29.80 per segment. Not sure whether that's a good price per segment.

GREAT price per segment! Beats my DFW-Tyler runs last year!

It's also EXP for < $3000 from scratch.

Exactly what I did!
4 same-day reservations. 0424, 0508, 0515, 0522. OMG!

This double miles with 100% bonus with Platium, fantastic!

Great first contrbution. This is 10,350 RDMS under the promotion as a Plat or higher, I think. I've already requalified, but its hard to resist cheap miles.

Thanks OP. Booked for 5/30. Came to 2.2cpm w/AA gift card. This beats my SFO-DFW-BOS run I just booked yesterday for 12000+ EQM @ 2.4cpm (with AA gift card)

Just a reminder that there are a few discount codes posted for SFO in the AA forum's Promo, Discount Requests thread.

For those of us based in DFW, I priced a sample multi city DFW-SFO-DFW-AUS on 4/28 for $238 ai. If the last leg is abandoned, it is roughly 3.97cpm. Acceptable for a MR?

Why include the AUS leg if you live in DFW?
