Nope. X is also the fare used for the weekend specials but it is used for some non-weekend specials as well. Also, it is completely eligible for EUAs.

It is a International First market but is operated with the 752 with the BF cabin. It is eligible for EUAs. Jaimito Cartero's rhyme works for South America routes and flights to Hawaii but not as well for TATL or GUM flights.

Nat a tremendous value at >5cpm before status bonuses, but a pretty good deal for a fare to Peru. I might try for a Friday/Sunday run and spend a couple days in Lima. It is about the same distance as Paris (~3600 miles) from Newark, and the dollar goes rather farther in Lima than it does in Paris right now.
