i was about to book my flight from jfk to mad on iberia when the agent gave me the sale fare code of VLXSAL1($429). i then checked with both ib and aa. each agent told me this fare does NOT accrue mileage in your aadvantage account!!! your best bet is to book it under aa fare codes (N is actually around $406) and then fly your way around spain on Y class fares.
