This is on all flights and dates and seems to be permanent (at least thru Jan 2012). On the other hand, MIA-SFO instant up is $497 on all flights for our travel dates. Did I miss something about fare increases as to me it doesn't make sense. Thanks.
Well, nothing is permanent, but that's all that
AA had published at the moment and there are currently no discounted xUP fares on the
