It's hard to let "zero" fares go, but sometimes if you don't live near the origination city, they don't make much sense (especially if you only have a couple of days).

I tried the ITA 30-day grid and the price was showing for even longer durations, but only for Jan/Feb/March. Did ticketing through cheaptickets.com.
I got ATL-ACA March 28 (AA 689/1159, DFW connection)
and ACA-ATL April 1 (AA 2478/310, DFW connection)
Totaled at $79.96 all in (said it had found a "lower fare" somehow)
Charged it but e-ticketed it, which may have been a mistake. (Was too cheap to pay the extra $50). But I'm lukewarm on going to ACA and don't have many miles or any status on AA. Got the conf code but not the ticket number, so dunno if I'll make it.
Good find, though. For once I was able to act on one of these things.

I could use this side trip and just jump off in Chicago one-way or another, but the taxes on this are rather steep. Too bad it's not a purely "domestic" US trip.

Still there for me. I put one on hold, just to see if it would take it. Interestingly, it says:
ON HOLD - Purchase By:
11/19/2005 11:00 PM EST
Do different rules apply for Mexico tickets, giving you longer than the normal midnight next day (CST) hold time?

Woo-hoo! Got my ticket number now. Total airfare: $76.97 (incl. taxes), service fee 2.99 on cheaptickets.com.
Checked ITA again and 5-dayers were showing for 3/1,2,22,27 originations out of ATL. Also 4-dayers 3/2,4,28.
Had tried to book my earlier itin on AA.com and the price showed but it said fare had changed when I tried to buy. Also got that for one attempt on cheaptickets, but second attempt worked and even beat the $105.

just waiting for someone to bring up the question, "do you think they'll honor these fares...?" Then the legal jargon and contracts verbage is re-introduced by someone, followed by someone else complaining about not getting an operational upgrade on their free flight. The life of a price-mistake thread is fun to watch from the sidelines.

It's still there, keep trying. But don't call in. Contrary to our experiences with Expedia, this is not a deal we should be calling in to confirm yet...
Keep in mind that the dates you're trying may also just be full flights. The computer has to find availability first before it can give you a fare.
And no calls please!
