- 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!

It's also worth noting that for $884 (7.2 cpm) you can book the entire run [LAX-SJU] in business elite to earn 12,214 MQM. This might be good if looking to bank more MQM in one sitting and/or for those folks not looking to leave the direct LAX - JFK (vise versa) upgrades to chance.

It is a very good deal and the product in-flight, at least on the non-stop to DEL, is pretty good too. Thanks for posting it, as I know quite a few people who will jump in on this.

AA US-EU fare rules, info
Valid only on AA metal, no BA/IB codeshares allowed.
10 day min stay kills it for most businesses, max stay can be 3 or 12 months depending on fare purchased.
These are also really S/L/V fares but with a ticket designator of EUUP.
14 day advance purchase

I just booked a 2685.30 return Seattle-Dublin Jun 20-Jul 1 on Delta business -- I needed to press search several times (!) because when the fee first appeared and I tried to book, Delta crashed. Eventually the fare came up again. The SEA-CDG, DUB-JFK and JFK-SEA legs are all on nice flat bed seats. Not sure this is a spectacular fare but certainly much less than the 4500 this usually costs. I love Delta S 
To clarify, this fee is only very interesting if you want fthe SEA-CDG-DUB route, otherwise going through ATL or JFK gives you similar low prices on other days.
