Guys, how does one find a Y, B, H, K, M, L, W, or V fare for cheap? All Y or B fares I ever see are like 5x the cost of the lowest price and the HKMLWV fares are at least double or triple. If a flight is $350, that means $2,500 for Y or B and at least $1,000 for HKMLW or V.
What gives? How do you guys do this?
I've heard about the upfairing thing where you place a reservation on hold, then call AA reservation to upfair, then book it online after it's changed. But when they upfare it, doesn't it do the same thing as if you just selected a higher fare on AA.com?
