AA: DFW-LAX, ride the new 787-9 for $71.
Same-day turns available, ex-DFW, with both out- and in-bound on the new, improved (am I allowed to say, 'enhanced'?), 787-9.
In fact, on most 'sale' days (TuWeSa) for same-day turns, the Dreamliner is the only flight that gets the lowest fare. Departures from LAX get the low fare only on the Dreamliner outbound and a narrowbody on the return, for most same-day dates I tried.
Sample date: 11OCT - 11OCT.
One oddity: the OTAs do not show anything close to this fare. So, if you're interested, I'd grab one real quick.

Is it for sure the 789 won't be subbed out? This happened when United was introducing their 788's. I'd have to position for this, so it would cost me almost $400 to ride these both ways or about $350 one way. I'm already EXP so I don't need the extra miles.

I snagged two of these on back to back weekends, but opted for the 777 on the outbound legs for the guaranteed business class seat (add'l $6 was worth it for me).
The Saturday fares appear to be gone now. Might still exist for Tuesdays/Wednesdays.
