Fares valid for travel July 1 thru Sep 2. Sat night stay required, 30 day adv purchase. $300 change fee.
A bit more expensive than in recent years. But maybe other airlines will start to match or lower.
But the strange thing is, I can't get that fare to book on AA.com, it prices at a much higher "I" fare. Hmmm.
I purchased this in January
