It's not available for booking, however.

Just finished booking EWR-DFW-HNL-ORD-EWR for Ms. Upgrader and myself at aa.com for $140 each. A week in May. The ticket price without taxes and fees was $85.76! I had to keep going through the itineraries until about the forth one but it finally worked. Not sure how we'll get to EWR from MCO for an early flight but even with staying in a hotel the night before this is an incredible deal. Thank you very much, FTers. By the way, the same low fare was showing from MCO-HNL on aa.com but it would not let me book it no matter how many itineraries I tried.

I'm glad at least a few of you were able to take advantage of this incredible deal before they appeared to have caught on to the glitch. I'm already going to Hawaii next month in First Class on NW using WP miles, so backtracking via EWR wasn't too desirable. But at that price, I have to say it was mighty tempting!

Aloha

Exactly. When it said one itinerary was not available I just clicked on the next one, the next one, etc.

I haven't received the confirmation email from AA yet. Guess I'll keep my award ticket on hold until I verify that this will be honored. I can't believe I got this fare for the exact dates I was already planning to to to Hawaii.

I tried that but when one finally went through I got a message saying the fare had increased and then it showed the new fare details

I just (5pm est) booked EWR-HNL 5/26-5/30 for $140USD per person. I got the same error as above several times. Keep trying the top flight listed. Mine eventually found a flight option with seats (took about 5 of the "no flights left"). Time to buy some sunscreen

Yes, plus calls to expedia, travelocity and orbitz. Fare code "SWE21LHNNR" from ITA's search page isn't showing up on their systems. Arrrggghhh! Asked about CVG/EWR/BHM - OGG/HNL. Callbacks to different AA agents and still quoted $700+ for April 23/24-May 2/3.

Congrats to those who grabbed 'em while they could! Great find!

Wow!

What an incredible catch! A mileagerunner's dream 'til it lasted. Even a hardcore UA loyal like me could not pass this up and was able to book for EWR to HNL middle of August for 141.5$ all inclusive. ^

Pulled up $126 all-in about an hour ago. Left work and came home, now it's $790+. Even with different dates.

All's well for me, i guess. I'm NW through-and-through. Now, if NW had matched, i'd be up on it like a kid in a candy store.

Nope, now it's $774. Man, you guys are so lucky! That'a a fare that is incredible beyond belief!

And I thought I was doing good finding TYS-LAS this weekend for $159!

Same here. This deal is dead. Lost it in the 30 minute drive back to the hotel.
