[QUOTE=rpmkwpw]Strange...

AA.com just removed the entire first cabin from "search by fare", "first/premium with restrictions" for LHR-JFK over several dates. Business shows up as an option instead.

i see it...

It looks like they stuck the decimal in the wrong place. LGW-SAT is available on Expedia UK for approximately $880 when AA.com is selling it for approximately $8800.

I'm in. Getting to LHR and back from LAX in Y is costing me more than the LHR-LAX in F. I just hope my upgrades come through!

Thanks all.

AA.com shows it as fare code A!

Now where do I sign-up for the Platinum Challenge?

Quick question -

When it comes to putting it on the credit card, they state is must be a UK address. What happens now?

Marvellous ! Booked !!! Now we await the standard Expedia 'now way Jose' routine I guess, followed by a 54,000 post Thread of disgruntled FTers !

Is FT not just the best place ever ?!? ^ ^ ^

If you get one of the 777 flights it will definitely not be in the newer cabin since that will not be phased in until starting in 2007. But ORD is also working in the deal and almost any day in November or December a one way fare can be had from ORD to London for $262 on Aer Lingus acording to ITA software. Now if only I wasn't a Star Alliance junkie.

Damn if I had the money I would buy it right away and probably accept an offer not to fly it but getting the miles to give them additional "real"revenue...but I can't fork out over $800 now...damn.

Not the kind of mistake they wanted to make after the announcement of a good 2006 Q2!

I used my US based CC (by clicking the button right next to where it says it must be UK) and it worked just fine.

I used a US credit card although on refunds.aa.com it shows me as having paid $0. Everything shows up confirmed and ticketed though.
