Sorry again, is there another website besides AA where you can see your booking?
I sill have one "ticketed" and one "on request" but not yet any email confirmation.
Standard AA behaviour? Is my first booking with them.

If you look at the combos left (none in 2008???) the only practical itineraries left are Dec. 5 - Dec. 23/25, if you ask me. Dec. 5 - Dec. 11 gets you 4 measly full days (7/8/9/10) in BKK. Given the transit times (25 hours out, 27+ coming back) it hardly seems worth it for that little a time.
Then again, I suppose it's still a good MR (no matter how few the days) iff you get full EQMs on AA ...

Thank you all
thank you to all, quick question:
Am I able to change the dates for future travel on this fare?
would prefer to go in January, but was only able to find fare
in Dec plus I need time to convince the boss to fly to BKK.
Again many thanks

Take the risk. Max loss will be 90USD (or 45USD per person) regarding the 15% cancellation fee before departure.

Looks like I'm out - no way for me to get to Dublin in time for tomorrow morning's flight in time without spending a King's ransom, much less convince my best friend up in SF to drop everything just to get 4 days in Bangkok. Damn!

Availability should be back.
Got an email stating that they could not succeed the payment because my CC billing address was not in UK nor USA and this for cancelled it.
But cant provide you with dates.. don't have any records about this "record locator". Somehow.
Also got a missed call from Ireland. Hope it is only attached to this incidence and the other bookings (UK billing) are still alive.

lol
Let the scavenger hunt begin anew!
But hold on a sec. There's something hilarious here ...
I wasted several hours today (erm, yesterday now) of a precious holiday day off playing hunt-n'-peck with dates trying to find something that worked, to no avail.
Along comes KVS, with a computer program, and it found all the "I" bucket availability that implies that the deal might still be available for those particular dates.
It also dutifully finds out that the base fare was exactly 0.00 (in your favorite currency; pick any one!).
Computers are much faster than human beings at this sort of thing. While I know that some die-hard FT'ers will say "The fun is in the finding", to me that's like telling me in 2007 that I should go find a record store that sells vinyl and go crate-digging. Surely Mr. KVS (or someone) should be able to write a program that
(1) Gives all dates (inbound/outbound) between a beginning and end date for a particular route where a certain fare class bucket still has availability (much like what KVS posted above)
(2) Automatically looks for all newly-loaded fares and sees if any of them are filed as "0.00", and reports them
Am I pipe dreaming?
