The days I leave doesn't seem to matter, the price is mainly impacted by the duration of the travel and its only the return flight back that jumps through the roof.

Is this normal?

Thanks,
Kevin
Are Economy MileSAAver award seats available for your desired flights? If so, just buying the miles from AA on the current promotion would be much cheaper.
