I would, if I can figure out Matrix. It's significantly more expensive to start in PHL with the same exact legs as yours, for some odd reason. The one part I haven't figured out yet is determining the proper routing to get the best cost.

These are my search parameters.. a subset of the ones you searched. I popped in your details and saw the $1280ish price.. I'm getting $1699.
(can't post pictures as I'm a newb)
Departing From: PHL
Routing codes: RDU CLT JAX MIA (also tried your AA flight codes)
Destination: PTY
Routing codes: MIA TPA CLT (also tried your AA flight codes)


I don't need all of the TP that you are getting, otherwise, I'd just fly to LAX and do the same thing



Also tried same exact itinerary as you, just stopping in PHL on the way home.. that was ~$1800.

Thanks! Long time lurker, just did not have much to offer.
I've been flying BA since 2012 - 4 years of Gold, the rest Silver, so far. I mostly use my Avios to fly domestically on AA - since AA bought USAir, oneworld out of PHL has been good to me
