Also can not get it to price
Can't even get it to price in Matrix OR AA.com or google.com/flights. Everyone who has posted has made this comment. Any possible typical itinearies to help us with? PLEASE? I have done this run before and it's very efficient. They fly a 777 into franfurt so you can position yourself with AA mileage tickets while they are still reasonably priced and spend less than 2 hours in the Frankfurt airport. Security there is very cool, they do not seem to care if you enter the country officially if yiu are only connecting back to the USA. Plus, if the flight is late by over 4 hours you get 600 EUROS more than the price of the run IF you can get it to price. IS THERE ANY MINIMAL/MAXIMAL STAYS OR SAT. NIGHT OVERNIGHT STAY REQUIREMENT? I was trying to leave on the 18th from FRA-DFW-GRU and returning on the 3rd, 4th or 5th from GRU-DFW-FRA. Google flights said 564 until the point of picking out the 4th flight, the increased dramatically (about doubled.) For curiosity sake, I also prices the same dates with business (about 2K until the final flight, then increased to 5K) and first (again, about 3 K then then 4th flight priced it up to 10 K?????) What the heck is going on with this flight 4th segment?

The .de site will also let you book the Rail & Fly train online (just add "QYG" as first and last segment in the mult-city tool).

I've worked on this (Europe to GRU) quite a bit for J fares to get a stopover each way in the US. Play with dates, cities, etc., but here's an example that prices correctly on AA when you click through (1491 Euro).
