The dude referred to Oneworld as a frequent flyer program. This guy obviously doesn't know of booking classes and fare codes. Cut the guy a break.

I am. I simply asked why. "This guy" could have even asked here and people would have tripped over themselves to help avoid a call to the airline.

OneWorld is not a frequent flyer program, it is an alliance.
The dates I tried book into N fare, which does not earn miles on AAdvantage or Flying Blue programs.

LAX--NRT--KUL--MAA--KUL--NRT--LAX for $800. Lot of dates available in NOV/DEC 2014. Though I am not sure if all 20800 Miles will be credited to OneWorld if you fly Malaysian.

To be honest, this seems like one that would belong to the 'good deals' thread. It would be quite tough to find a decent program to credit to. Plus, $953 transpac is not particularly rare these days

Just booked BZE-LAX-BZE via MIA on AA for $349 RT AI for late May and again in September. it's 5.6cpm so not really worth it for a mileage run but pretty great fare for a trip to Belize. This fare is also available out of LA and other west coast cities. I fly this route a lot and I've never seen it this low.
