My travel department calls their rep desk at AA, and says, "I need a fare match for these flights against Northwest."

The AA person considers the request based upon the schedule, and the flight loads. Often they say, "We cant do the 5:00pm. How about the 7:00pm?"

My agent accepts the 7:00pm, and I go standby on the 5:00pm.


And yes, they do international. Going to CPH in november for $250 less than the posted AA fare.

Also, what details do you have to give them about the competitive route and price you are trying to get them to match? Or do you just say " ... I want to go A>B>A and please fare match it."?

Thanks.
