Last edit by: Sykes
  • 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!

Booked the long weekend (Thursday-Monday) on aa.com, same price and route, now ticketed and confirmed. Flight times give nearly 3 full days in EZE w minimal clock change to/from. Now, if I can only persuade DL to let me off the hook on the SJU 1st/Biz itin I have for the same weekend based on (minor) schedule change.

I am on AA and right now and found DFW to EZE for $955. May 28 out and May 31 return. Found this price at the bottom of the list. Saw quite a few dates on ITA awhile ago.

I don't see it on ITA anymore. But about 15 minutes ago I went to AA site, put in LGA to IPC on 5/28 return on 5/31, clicked on advance options and selected business and all carriers. It came up at $1042. I had to scroll through a few pages of mucho expensive flights to get to the inexpensive ones. You may have to play with the return dates. Travel must be completed by June 12 I think.

go to matrix.itasoftware.com

Departing NYC

Arriving IPC

Calendar search for April 1st or May 1st

Enter 4-6 for nights (5-7 days right?)

change cabin to BUSINESS

and search, write down flight info and book on AA or an OTA

WOW thanks OP for this deal
Just booked a JFK-MIA-SCL-IPC May 6 to 11 for 1064USD
I can't believe this deal
Having been to Isla de Pascua twice before any one grabbong this deal will not regret it. It's a magical place! I am really excited to be able to go back there at such a bargain fare and in style.

AA.com lists the all AA flights first and the AA/Oneworld combinations after.

Found these flights and went to AA.com - $944 pp for booking in May. Completed booking. Message when credit card submitted stated converted to Canadian $$. Gave me a final price of $4400.00. Flights not offered at same prices on Canadian AA site. Can I not book on and get prices on any other site than Canadian? Very disappointed and feeling very discriminated against.

Are you paying with a Canadian CC? Many fares are restricted to being sold in a particular country, unfortunately.

Looking for this fare. I found the $955 price but I only see DFW-MIA in First and then MIA-EZE in econ on LAN booking code S. Am I missing something?

CZ China Southern J Class MNLCANLAX return USD 1,460.00 all in. But seems like mileage can only be credited on CZ J on the SkyPearl Program and not on other ST FFP.
