BA/AA: Biz PRG/ARN-LHR-SFO RT USD $1574

Nice biz fare on BA/AA: PRG/ARN - SFO RT for USD $1,574. Seems to be widely available.

I believe the applicable Fare basis code is ILN8R4C1 (sorry, not adept at Expert Flyer).

You can only do AARP originating in the USA.

Also available from OSL. Mathed by SkyTeam

OSL and ARN, but not SVG, BGO or GOT. Weird. Also, only SFO, nothing else. Is this a highly specialized attack on Norwegian? If so, why DUB?

Found another few datapoints. DEN, IAD, ORD,IAH and YYZ are valid destinations, but not SLC or SEA or LAX. Perhaps an attack on *A hubs in North America?

6 day or saturday minimum stay for the AA fare i looked at.
I see all alliances, at least for a PRG-SFO search.
The AA fare allows stops in EU for $75 on both directions... which is unique for such a low fare. So does ST fare, but *A fare is $600 for stopover.
$300 change fee as opposed to use it or lose it, which is good as well for a cheap fare.
Lastly, these appear to require marketing carrier metal/code on transatlantic sector. So for AA fare, must be AA flight operated by AA, etc. So if crediting to AA, chose AA fare if you want 2x EQM but lower RDM and BA fare if you want 1.5EQM but higher RDM.

I see the stopover rule too but it doesn't price up on google, matrix or aa.com. ARN-LHR-SFO-LHR//-ARN would do me very nicely indeed.

Can I buy as AA marketed flight and credit to Alaska under british airways rules. I see that this fare class is eligible for 150% bonus alaska miles.

AS website says you have to buy AA marketed on AA metal or BA marketed on BA metal, but reports in the AS forum are that you can request credit after the fact. I personally wouldn't risk it but you might have better luck.

According to ExpertFlyer, the fares are still all filed in the GDS, so they should still be bookable.
