Yes but with a $150 YQ added to it.

Mach81,
just out of curiousity, what are you studying? and whats your threshhold for a miliage run? I am asking cuz I too am a student again outside NYC, after a few years of working. I am trying to figure out what a good cost/benefit balance is... Problem is most of the sub 2cent/mile fares aren't out of the NYC area.

I'm seeing NYC-STO at $258 but it's got a $150 surcharge in there, over $500 after taxes. Not so good.

Most likely this M-Thu fare (SLX7E3U) excludes the transatlantic surcharges ($60-75) mentioned in the fare rules:
ORIGINATING THE UNITED STATES -
A SURCHARGE OF USD 60.00 WILL BE ADDED TO THE
APPLICABLE FARE FOR TRANSATLANTIC SECTORS.
AND - ORIGINATING GERMANY -
A SURCHARGE OF USD 75.00 WILL BE ADDED TO THE
APPLICABLE FARE FOR TRANSATLANTIC SECTORS.

I've been playing with Farecompare and the AA for 20 minutes already. As soon as I can book something that's close to a resnable number I'll post back.


I see many trips to Europe in my near future.

I doubt it man, it seems to me they all have various surcharges that make these fares impossible to travel on.

Even with the surcharges, I can't get the base rate to price out.

AA Surcharge Rule Change

AA changed their surcharge filing rules today which broke our surcharge calculation module.

We are working on a fix. Most have a $150 fuel surcharge.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Don't forget, England is now doubling its charge on all inbound and outbound flights, even if you are just stopping over. From what I understand, this can easily add $80 to a trip with a lay-over in england. These fares might not include this tax. Anyone know the specifics of these taxes?

i'm not getting any of the fares to price out either - always saying no availability. (i got an alert in email w/ SEA-eur flights of around 268+) am wanting to go to manchester for the last week of march, so here's to hoping something pops up.
