I'm not saying you're not mostly correct, but there is a possibility of gaining significant EQD and redeemable miles by booking in PE rather than coach, at the prices stated if you are able to book it as a special fare.
Yeah, I know what a special fare is. In most cases they are "bulk fares" available with packages. I am 100% correct for this fare as currently posted in this thread. This isn't a discussion of special fares, so stop trying to make it one. I have edited your statement to make it correct.
Also, I looked on AAvacations.com (the easiest way for most people to find special fares) and the P* fares were double the price on the days I looked.
