AA: BOS-ANC for $489ai until 9/30 ??
Looks like 21 days adv purchase..... (BOS-ANC for $489 to EOS)
AA.com multi-city is choking when I'm trying to book to force through DFW. I'll need time to work at it and bend it to my will!
Edit: It shows $489.60 on ITA but I can only get $635 on AA.com. This is for a pure MR 5/26-5/27. Despite all of my best efforts, I cannot get the connections in DFW to price. Won't be a good MR and great fare, but still a great fare!

Expert Flyer shows $438.89 ND21ERL1 base fare BOS-ANC and ITA shows the full $489 pricing (with added taxes and fees), and also lists many desirable itineraries in June and other months like BOS-DFW-SEA-ANC......
ITA appears to be incorrect for June listings; There do not appear to be any AA seats on sale for $489 most of June, despite what Matrix2 shows.
There ARE $489 AA fares available in May and Sept., though the only routings that seem to work are BOS-ORD-SEA-ANC with ANC-ORD-BOS returns.... not the best for MR.
Expedia does show one BOS-ORD-ANC routing late-June for $481; this is non-bookable though, as it jumps to $1000 when you click through. The only AA flights shown are for $535 and most at $640. AA.COM and Kayak only show $640.
Would love to book this flight with max miles for the June 30 NomeDO. Looks like CO/UA is the only way to do this with maximum miles and minimum cost.

LAX-BRU 3/20-3/25 $564 on Vayama. Not a terrible alternative for those who got cancelled from the west coast to get the exact same routing.....

AA: MCI-LAX $181 AI as low as 4.2 CPM if routed through ORD both ways. Or 4.7 CPM if ORD and DFW.
LOTS of dates in February and March. Looks like I'll be visiting a few times this month.

Yes. I searched all LAX area to MIA, FLL, or PBI, May 31-June 5, +/- 1 day and it came up again. Also just received a Airfarewatchdog notice advertising same price for LAX-MIA, but couldn't find any during that time period.
