Using Studentuniverse.com the exact same itinerary is pricing out at $153.21.
Do you think this would qualify for the low price guarantee?
If I book this as a rt from LAX to STL to LAX the fare is still way higher on AA. For some reason studentuniverse.com can get that XNA routing at a much lower cost.
Thoughts?
Thanks
I'm assuming there is a reason to go through XNA, because the flight is pricing out at just over $200 with almost any other routing. But yes, the low price guarantee should apply.
[Edited to add:] As
wanaflyforless has pointed out, tickets booked through studentuniverse.com would not qualify as they are not available to the general public. From the small print:
Exceptions:

Unpublished fares are those not available to the general public and include, but are not limited to, wholesaler or consolidator fares, corporate, military, government, contract, or other discounted fares. The Lowest Fare Guarantee does not apply to package fares, including but not limited to airfares sold as part of a travel package, nor does it apply to airfares where the carrier or itinerary details are unknown until after purchase. The Lowest Fare Guarantee does not apply to airfares on another web site that have been reduced as a result of promotional discounts, such as dollars off coupons, loyalty program discounts or fly "free" offers nor does it apply to differences of less than $5.
