- Fare feels too good to be true? Don't call the airline!!!!!!
- Double check that the fare is actually in Business or First as some online search engines or OTA's confuse booking classes on some airlines.
- Post as many details as possible about the First / Business fare, including fare class, fare basis, one-way / roundtrip, sales channel, sample dates & total price, including taxes.
- Post the details within the thread itself and not in the post title field as any information typed here cannot be seen by members accessing the thread using mobile devices.
- Refrain from posting fare requests or engaging in off topic debates such as fare trends, specific aircraft configuration or visa requirements
- The deeply discounted international fares discussed here are almost always specific to a certain country of origin, so don't ask if it works in reverse (e.g. a SFO-LHR-SFO fare usually won't work LHR-SFO-LHR). Domestic fares more commonly work in reverse.
- Last, but not least, Don't call the Airline!

Snagged an A Fare for HNL-ATL-LGA on the A330 for 571.20 on Aug 21.
Fare Basis: SN28AUPQ
Website was being super strange with it though. It kept telling me that I had to call reservations once I got to the page where I would enter my passenger information. In the end, I ended up getting it booked and made sure to snag 1A for the HNL-ATL segment.

AA still has roundtrip IAH-LHR in J for $2025 with dates during Thanksgiving. Just bought one yesterday. Maybe other cities are included or lower but I didn't check. Staying 2 nights but used 3 nights when doing ITA search. This trip will be more than enough to complete a platinum challenge. Lowest fare for the rest of November is $4600 with some as high as $7100+. Great opportunity to try the new J class on AA IMO. Caution that MIA flights do not show the new J seats so I am connecting in JFK and LAX (more miles). DFW and ORD were the other connection choices.
(I picked up a W fare and SWUd up on UA)
