AA: OAK-FLL $89+, ~$130 all in (no min)

The fare pops up on Travelocity (I haven't tried AA.com), and books into Q. Effective dates are November 30 to March 15 (with a 14-day advance purchase). Not valid Fridays and Sundays, but no minimum stay and favorable routing gives it possibilities.

Don't forget AA's double redeemable miles promotion through Dec 31 if you fly through DFW. The OAK-DFW-FLL-DFW-OAK routing is eligible for this promotion.

funny this should price out at 89+ today.. I got it for $109+ a while back, and just came back today! Guess Im doing it again, with my PLT bonus and DFW 2X bonus, it nets out about 15,000 miles!

about $130 including tax nets 15450 (with bonus) miles round trip = .0084 a mile! doesnt get much cheaper than that!

...... Alll going away right NOW: I booked OAK-FLL a little while ago, and just tried to get a second one. "The Flight you selected is no longer available" aa.com says, to EVERY $89 connection. Too bad.

However, WAS able to get an OAK-PBI one to ticket. Get 'em while they're hot; LAST CALL!

SST- try booking on a different site (ie: travelocity), as the fare might still be available, but it will cost you $5 first! also try different dates..



this one wont last!

I was wondering the same thing. Unfortunately, no Saturday turn-arounds from the west coast.

Let me make sure I have this right. I booked it for about $130 (in O) doing the FLL-DFW-OAK-DFW-FLL routing. Normally I'd get about 5000 EQMs, but will the "DFW bonus" give me 10000 EQMs? Or will I still get 5000 and the other 5000 will be exta miles, kinda like how my 0.25 bonus doesn't count towards qualifying?

Yeah, Bonus miles are not EQ.

Amazing, guess what AA agent responded when I ticketed a held $89+ OAK-FLL reservation over the phone(I had a last minute cancellation at the gate for SFO-MIA trip back in Oct., so that I have $208.40-change fee to use for a new ticket).

The agent could not believe this is the r/t fare, she thought it is a ow and came up $260 r/t fare for me. I told her it is a r/t for $130.20, and she then put me on hold for a while to check with AA fare department. Finally, she was convinced this is indeed a r/t fare.
After she finally finished this, she said "You got a very good fare!"
