Not a big surprise, since AS doesn't have a large FF pool at either end at this point in time. Good to know though, would certainly be a decent buy up on this fare. I'm guessing not too many are aware AS now flies the route nonstop? Hopefully they can make it work, fares like this aren't the best sign of that though, but BOS-SEA works well and that is included too...

or check out the DL F fare that CokeandTaco posted in the good deals premium thread...might work from SAN or nearby airport?

Oh Yea and for those that collect AS miles, BOS/SAN promo is double RDM through 5/29.
BOS/SEA double RDM starts 5/17

maybe if you could pin a cheap US shuttle flight to the end of it, it could still work for you. Looking at it a different way there was the DL fare from PHX-BOS for $184 and then use WN or US to get to PHX from SAN...

Thought that special F fare was for BOS but it was actually for PHL...too much wine maybe if you could pin a cheap US shuttle flight to the end of it, it could still work for you.

AS: SAN/SEA-BOS ~$178ai (Limited Availability)
Unfortunately just booked a RT BOS-SAN for end of April at the exorbitant price of $330. Had to satisfy Mrs.pfbloom's schedule constraints and could not get the $240 AA special to work.
Now this..... ouch, wicked good deal and non-stop, plus I've wanted to sample the AS service to SD. However I often prefer to have the midway stop in DFW to break up the trip, and have found that the connecting-flight itinerary yields very good upgrade success... I've been hitting about 90% as EXP.... but saying that I've probably jinxed this next trip....
BTW, thanks to CokeandTaco for reeling in the good deals here first.

If any AA people need a way home from the fare, AS has a ton of Coach saver space in case anyone wants to book an award with AA miles. DL miles wont work due to RT redemption restriction

Your best bet will be to watch fares between SEA and MCO, FLL, and the Hawaiian islands (HNL, OGG, LIH, KOA). These are all 5000-5500 mile loops and can occasionally be found around $300, which puts them at about 6 CPM. A quick check for May shows some May FLL fares for $348, some HNL fares for $367. Again not great but it gets you 1/4 of MVP.
