Just use the flexible search on .bomb and you'll find quite a few dates where BOS-MEX rt flights are 248 pre-tax and sub 300 with tax. not bad!

The fare rules give the following routing restrictions:
BOS-CO/UA-CHI/CLE/EWR/HOU/WAS-MEX
Yet I can pull up double connections via ORD, IAH or DCA, IAH that don't break the fare.

I just typed it into the forum search and found a lot of threads but none that looked like it explained what it was.

I'll take your word for it, but they've got a serious PR problem. Just last week I watched a 2000 film: "Mexico City." Yikes. I'm sure it's like anywhere and once you get familiar, no problemo. I'd love to see the city and country, but I'll wait.
