AA Europe Fare Sale from SAN, Now - May 1, $6xx - $8xx
Looks like AA is offering great fares for 5 or more nights to Europe destinations (excluding LHR and UK destinations) from SAN, now - May 1. Check Matrix with "AA AA" in 2nd and 4th line (no quotes, enter AA AA in the first box of each of these lines). SAN-CDG is around $842, SAN-AMS is around $656, SAN-FCO is around $679 etc. for limited dates (not all dates). Travel allowed in the codeshared BA flights (including BA 272/BA 273 the only direct flight to Europe out of SAN, the SAN-LHR route). These fares are really great. Typical Europe fare out of SAN is around d $1,300. You can plan a Spring break in Europe.

The bold part isn't true. There are direct flights to FRA and ZRH as well as LHR out of SAN.

Regarding SAN-FRA and SAN-ZRH, I think they are starting in the Summer. Condor cancelled SAN-FRA flight. Lufthansa is picking-up the route. And, Swissair will operate a direct flight SAN-ZRH. But, my understanding was, both flights will start in the Summer of 2018.

I was checking SAN-CDG fare in AA until 5/31 for 4-6 nights stay every evening since the middle of January. Haven't seen the $400+ fare in AA or in BA metal. The only reasonable fare to Europe was SAN-VCE for about $800 in March/April. Perhaps I missed a very short-lived fare sale.

Condor and Edelweiss (not Swiss) were seasonal flights when they started last year. Condor will not be coming back, but Edelweiss will be in March. The reason Condor is dropping it is probably related to LH starting there route.
Also check SNA. For a lot of the Europe fares it gets lumped into the LAX sales when SAN won't be. e.g. SNA-CPH is $498 while SAN-CPH is $766
