what a strange fare. YYZ to NYC/ORD via west coast and/or MIA. given that there is no way to jump on this in SEA/SFO, it's less interesting (to me) but still a unique find.

No, this is AA specific.

If you want to jump on at SFO, you may want to consider SJC-BUF. The fare is "only" $50 more at around $165 one-way.

Followed with a YYZ-LAX-MIA-DFW|NYC-ORD to get home for $155, 4/5 Tuesdays in May availability.


Apr 7
AA1253 ORD-LAX 20:15 22:50
AA258 LAX-MIA 23:55 7:45+1
Apr 8
AA1354 MIA-LGA 9:15 12:05
AA3313 LGA-YYZ 13:50 15:20
AA1586 YYZ-LAX 18:25 20:55
AA355 LAX-MIA 21:55 5:45 +1
Apr 9
AA1233 MIA-DFW 6:50 9:00
AA2301 DFW-ORD 10:05 12:20

12124 miles, $253, 2.095 cpm

Assuming AA can make all those 1 hour connections is laughable. I've always been able to get credit for purchased flights regardless of invol changes. Could short circuit and save time.

Can get it up to 12702 with ord-sfo-mia-lga-yyz-sfo-mia-lga-ord, 1.99 cpm.

Add yyz-dfw-ord at end for 2000miles@$152. Not the best redemption but if you are starting from ORD, it's a good way to get home and pick some miles. Works out better than using awards.
