One year I got 3 consecutive itineraries with 4 vouchers. I had "free" trips for a year. It was when I was still in school. I believe it was Thanksgiving, followed by XMas, then Spring Break. All really busy and ripe for vouchers.
I remember these days fondly. This was how I first became EXP. This seemed to happen when AA's ops were abysmal (pilots were mad, minor mx issues were noticed and reported more often, etc.) and rebooking was rampant. I once got a total of five vouchers and full-fare F on one MSY-DFW-ORD round-trip.
I had a sweet ride on vouchers and did a significant amount of personal flying in F and J for $0.
I think it's been over a year since I've received one.
Whenever they do offer them, I have to be somewhere.

That's a great deal. Was the offer only available to J pax, or were they soliciting Y pax too?
