So I'm confused by this. Even today I can access the special Fares page (
https://www.aa.com/i18n/aadvantage-p...cial-fares.jsp) and it shows distance-based earning post 1 March, 2023.
Maybe this page is an orphan and not linked from anywhere within AA and, thus, no longer in force? Otherwise, this seems at odds with the above.
Cheers.
There are still special fares, but AA vacations is no longer a source of them.
For example, you can book a bulk fare through a TA.
ETA: I see that they still list AAV as an example; that is most likely an oversight.
