FWIW/reference benchmark: I paid 190ai on this route on CO for a Mar'11 booking in Dec'10. IIRC, I paid a $10-20 premium to fly on an ideal day one way...fare classes were N and S.
With that said, I wouldn't hesitate to lock in fall and winter travel if the fare drops again.

Gone...but I wouldn't be shocked it it dropped again in the near future. I watch this route a lot. Current CO price is 277, which is a lot more than what it was BEFORE the FAA tax fiasco.

ETA: looks like that fare is only available for about 6 seats per flight...seatmaps aren't prefect, but I found that there were a few with about 5 seats assigned and 1 remaining at that price, one of my flights for the day/flight I wanted was the $20 bump to the next fare class and I was the 8th occupied seat on the seatmap.

OAK - SEA - PVG - DTW - SFO for $885 on DL in August and Sept - works out to 5.6 cpm or so. Requires a week stay though, so not exactly mileage run material. Maybe others can play with this one to make it a better deal.

Nyc-lib $279 a/i--aa
For those seeking vacation on the Pacific side of Costa Rica, this seems like a great deal to me. 10/29-11/6, bookable on aa.com. It's generally more expensive to fly into Liberia than into San Jose. CO flies directly from EWR to LIR, so this may be a fareware-ish situation.
Edit--the header should be NYC-LIR.

I think you meant LIR
