AA: various USA-Germany from $300+ S fare

Found on aa.com, SLX7E3U

Good to most German destinations I tried, including Bahn stops.

Add $20 for immediate turn-arounds.

Sample fares, with 100% AA flight numbers, for 01/17 - 01/21:

MIA, $300+, ~ $415 all in.
MCO, $320+
AUS, $342+
DFW, $362+
MSP, $364+
LAS, $369+
SEA, $371+

There are even some L fares on the return, I used 2/13-2/17 LGA-ORD-FRA (N fare), then QXL(Rail)-FRA-ORD-LGA on the return $463 a/i

And if I were to miss all my DB connections from FRA, that would not be discovered so as to effect my ORD-FRA-ORD flights, correct?

New, Lower fares to MUC/ZMU/FRA/DUS/QDU

Here's some sample departures for the same dates used in the OP...

FLL, $274+
MIA, $274+
DFW, $325+
LAX, $328+


And, yes, as ValiantFlyer points out, many of these are coming up as L fares, some as N fares.

Something like dfw-sfo-ord-fra-qwu-zaq-zmu-zaq-qwu-fra-ord-sfo-dfw for $ 485.6 ai. That should be almost 17000 miles if my calculation is correct

how did you add in the leg to SFO without escalating costs greatly?

Keep in mind you only get 750 miles for the same-numbered train segment.

Just do multi-city option using:

dfw-sfo
sfo-zmu
zmu-sfo
sfo-dfw

I chose saturday departure from DFW and come back from munich on monday. and Tuesday morning from SFO-DFW (1am flight)

This is good for most weekends from jan thru first weekend of march
