Clearly this is a cargo rate, not intended for passengers. The fare code is H26, but they have it listed as being in the Y cabin - clearly wrong!
If you actually book this rate odds are at check-in they will just stick a baggage check tag on your forehead and throw you down onto the conveyor belt.

Confused 
we've been discussing this fare since last night:

Mods, perhaps these should be merged?

What do you mean? I've got several same day turns (well ok, 12:55am arrival next day if you want to be picky 
):
May 15:
7:30AM EST EWR-DFW arr 10:30AM CST
12:05PM CST EWR-LAX arr 1:30PM PST
-- Lunch --
2:55PM PST LAX-ORD arr 8:50PM CST

EDIT: did not see Mr. Bean meant Non-Stop. Still same day turn that earns more miles
Yes I am also curious.... and also curious about HPN?

Fare is actually still there but there's no H class bookable for months on AA119/114... They may have pulled availability pending fare updates across all GDS/CRS - this is more instant than all the systems that need updating to modifying fares across all channels.

OFCOURSE they will honor the fare . If you have a PNR, You have a contract and you had "reasonable expectations" that the fare was good when you committed. If the fare had been 79 cents the outcome may be different.
This is AA and AA is not going to dispute $ 79 in any case.
Fare gone as of 2 hours ago. Now $ 109

When i upgrade using 500 mile upgrade which i havent done in ages, since i havent flown domestic, do they confirm it right away, of course as long as there is space available? or do we have to wait till the 72 hr period (for me cuz i am a AA PLT)?

Be careful about reliance on Stand By from Co-Terminal rule. It works most of the time but sometimes the fare is airport specific. I learned the hard way once, strugling to make it from LGA over to EWR in time for my flight. I would ask AA agent VERY specifically. Also remember you have no guarantee that you will get a Stand by flight into your airport of origin, so if you leave your car at LGA or JFK and are not able to return to LGA/JFK the hike from EWR is gruesom and/or expensive
"PASSENGERS TICKETED IN Y/B/H INVENTORIES MAY CONFIRM TRAVEL WITHIN 12 HOURS OF THE ALTERNATE FLIGHT/S DEPARTURE TIME FREE OF CHARGE."
Unfortunately I don't believe HPN works, but should be able to *CONFIRM* change into H availability, not just standby from LGA/JFK and SNA/BUR (others co-term with LAX?).
