You'd be looking at possibly a one-way ticket on a Southwest-matched route. Otherwise, taxes will kill you. Even those lovely $56 fares had over $20 in taxes added on.

I would attempt to familiarize myself with the various tools display fare sales (including Dream Maps), and post your research findings before asking the rest of the AA board this question.
And my answer is, no, not that I know of right now, if ever. $60 all in would be about $50+, and I've never seen that (except on mistake fares).

Do tell
What is the way that you reccomend? Didn't mean to hi-jack the thread, but I would like to know the alternative to <$60 short-hops.

EZE to MVD is $62 RT on a nice big 767 for a 142-mile flight. Did it last week. However taxes make it $99 all in. All you have to do is go down to South America to take advantage of it.

The $56 out of DAL I got only had $16.10 in taxes added to it, for $72.10 all in--but very worthwhile since the trio I've got on hold will also get a 30k bonus.

Fly 100,000 miles or 100 segments. 100,000 miles is not that difficult. Each trip I do to Europe from the west coast is at least 12K, and transcons 5K. It adds up pretty quickly. I've already flown 70K this year and anticipate a lot more.

Not an AA partner so we can't officially count them
