AA: SFO-ZRH as low as $415/3cpm
Available scattered dates September through EOS. Seems to require a 6 day or so minimum stay.
I just put SFO-PHX-PHL-ZRH-JFK-CLT-SFO on hold for $417.56 - 13,519 EQM - 3.09cpm. Yes I know, RDMs will be nothing. EQMs are still what really matters, at least for status.
[edit] Upon further review, looks to be available from other UA hubs as well, notably IAH, DEN and CLE. SFO will of course be the best CPM.

Good deals, but only if you live near a hub airport. If you have to take a staging flight, you could make a case for price gouging.
For pns-zrh, that $415.00 flight is $1165.00 with two stops.

Now appears to be $801-836 almost every day Aug 23 - Dec 12, which -- probably not coincidentally -- jibes with dates of the premium US-EUR fares being discussed in AB: ORD-TXL in late summer/Fall $1591 ...
Looks like 5-day minimum.

There has been some discussion of the fact that "12-month rolling" EQD will be part of the priority-setting for upgrades, starting Jan 1 2017. Some have speculated that AA will start tracking EQD on Aug 1, so that on Jan 1 there would already be a 5-month backlog to use for that purpose, not for qualification. AA has not said they will do so.
