This works the opposite way as well for people in SFO/LAX.

Dead already?
Nope, not dead at all. Fare is alive and well.

And it is $ 44 each way if you use 55H1BG.

So what's going on here? Legacy carriers don't issue press releases touting extremely cheap fares from their hubs these days.

Didn't Virgin begin flying these routes about a year ago? This seems targeted to drive a competitor out of business. Why now?

I put a flight on hold but didn't see the '55H1BG' code till now. When I went to try it again, my return flight went up in price. Is there still a way to apply this promo code to my current held itin?? Thanks.

Looks like most of SFO is slammed for Oct...DFW to LAX still looks good though!

The code didn't change the fare for my DFW-SFO fare. Did it work for anyone else?

It doesn't work for SFO. See my post (#7).

Just got the email and not complaining but trying to figure out the logic here for AA.

http://www.aa.com/i18n/utility/dfw-l...c=&pp=USSFO-IM

I presume these book into deep discount fare so SFO-DFW @ 1464 miles per segment one would need 7 segments in order to complete a Gold challenge and 14 for Plat. That's still not cheap

Gold for 18 months for $140 (fee) + $420 = $560
Plat for 18 months for $240 + $820 = $1060

Alas I don't fly AA much anymore and my Alaska and Qantas flights don't count towards the challenge. But maybe tempting as a mileage run for others particularly those who can use the status

If you need an SFO code, you might want to try 18H1BD. Only half the savings of 55H1BG, but so be it.

(Actually, for the puny discount, you might be better off booking at one of the third-party sites and getting their points, perhaps with a airfare/hotel package.)

You can also try 73H1BX; 10% but it is embargoed 13-19 October.
