BOS-BRU for $1860* each way based on roundtrip +tax is hardly a bargain in coach. Of course, if you click on a link and chose available highlighted days for this "bargain" fare the prices are different (lower in this case). Personally, I rarely find this "Fare Sale Alerts" feature working. AA should fix it or drop it all together.
Its a business class fare. I agree though - its not marketed correctly.
