AA is pretty good if you watch for sales from your airport. The trick is to find when they're running some insane discounted fares and then hit them up. They have $89 each way to cancun in early september that I'm looking at

I like AA as a way to fill in the gaps and also to do one day MR so there's no need for hotel or as to go visit friends and crash on their couch. "Uncle Bill, long time no see! I was thinking I hadn't seen you in years (and no the $50 super saver fares had nothing to do with it)

"
I need to get one more flight in for my 4 flights requirement on JAL metal. I'm debating using some of the miles I have and the discounts to do an awards flight to tokyo and then take some discounted waribiki flights around Japan to make up the miles difference

Yup $800 from LAX. How much was your JFK-LAX flight when it was on sale? $250 is the lowest I have seen (I am routing via SFO to maximize my miles

)
You can go to OKA too. The OW Yokoshi fare is on sale right now (10% discount on all oneworld fares in all cabin classes for 10 weeks beginning August 26, 2009.) Which means only 9000 yen for ~2000 miles for you one-way
