Saw these fares on the local news this evening, but can't find them on AA.com or any of the other web booking sites. Anyone else see these or have more info? Thanks.

I think these are one way fares based on roundtrip purchase.

Might these be one way fares, based on round trip purchase, and pre-tax?

Pre-tax? Probably. One-way? I thought I heard them say round trip. If it's one-way, that doesn't seem quite newsworthy, even on a slow newsday.

True, but since AA released SEVERAL press releases about their "new, super low" fares yesterday, perhaps someone THOUGHT it was newsworthy.

Been scouring aa.com, Travelocity and Orbitz since yesterday's "big fare sale" was announced, don't see aanything special in the air from SEA. United sure has a bunch of cheapies out of here, though.

I heard the big announcement on the news last night too. AA to slash fares 40% in hopes to increase the number of passengers. I have yet to find any good fares.
