These are on the non stop flat bed flights. Not a bad deal at all for the premium transcon flights. I only had time to check dates in August. Doesn't seem to be a minimum stay requirement

This fare generally works with other flights as well and works as a OW in some instances though it appears typically the OW is not half of the RT. However, a couple weeks ago I snagged RDU - JFK - SFO for $661 so it is out there.
You can do a R/T on most of these RDU - JFK - SFO (and presumably other origination cities) for ~$1400 - 1600 which isn't a bad premium to snag a flatbed across the country (plus F to/from JFK).

Crediting to AS will provide a 50% COS bonus for JFK/SFO and 75% for RDU/JFK which isn't bad for a $661 ticket for a flight I had to buy one way or another and will yield roughly 4750 miles on AS (with 500 minimum for RDU/JFK) compared to the 4200 DL would've given me by virtue of receiving temporary DL silver status via targeted email and I consider the AS miles to be significantly more valuable than DL.
The AA flights I looked at were booking into Q (no F on AA's RDUJFK flights only RDULGA) and I (for JFKSFO). Ultimately the DL fit better into my schedule despite the miles bonus AA is offering to AA Gold (and now non-status as well) for paid F / J travel. Plus I'm curious to see how the DL product compares.

what's the fare class?
I flew it for around $550 one way last year JFK-LAX-SMF, they had a bit of an error fare awhile back that permitted booking it at that price.

i know i am going to need an MR before end of year to re-up MVPG, this would be the preferred way to do it, the problem is i don't know if i will need this many miles...or more...or less...
