Anyone still sees any good prices?
I'm trying for Memorial Day weekend: ideally 5/22 but 5/21 works, and back on 5/25
I found some cheap fares for my parents doing EWR-ORY-JFK and EWR-ORY//CDG-BOS-LGA, but can't price anything cheap now.
Fares seem to hover at $1800s

Edit: found $1167 fares on Jun 5-8. After AARP and BA discounts.

I think the fare may have been pulled. Can't find anything remotely close checking dates in May and June. Did find a few scattered flights from LGA via PHL on USAir for approx $2317. Congrats to all who got this good deal.

Wow - I can never get in on these deals, but today lucked out and booked family of 4 on OpenSkies JFK-ORY-JFK for a total of $4669 ($1167 each).
Still in shock! Congrats to those who got in on this fare.

Open Skies features a flat bed business class -- think of it as a bit of a dated version of the current BA Club World Business Class seat. The odd feature to Open Skies is that the 2-2 configuration has seats facing the opposite directions:
On the left side of the airplane, A seats (window) face backwards, while C (aisle) seats face forwards. On the right side, D seats (aisle) face backwards, while F seats (window) face forwards. So it can be an odd configuration if you don't know the person sitting next to you, despite the privacy shade. It actually can work quite well if your travel companion is next to you though, as you will face each other.

AA does NOT have flatbeds on its int'l B757s. Those feature a slanted lie-flat seat similar to what is found on the old B763 and B772 configurations.

IHMO, the awkward part is when FA lowers privacy shade and passes food tray over the other person if you sit by the window.
