Note this also books into H. This means there's a ton of availability and is fully refundable. Also bookable as one-ways which has not been true for AA's lowest-priced fares from EWR-LAX.

available pretty much until end of schedule for all flights out of newark. does any one still have one of those 10 percent off codes from the aa game? the game is dead now...

Pricing seems to vary a bit in an erratic fashion as things go out. I guess maybe AA has some surcharge days scattered here and there? I don't see anything in the fare rules about this. Highest I saw in some cursory searches was $119 AI on the Th/Fri before Memorial Day.

I'm seeing 201 a/i to do stopover in DFW on both ways for a zero day (noon departure - red eye return) on Feb 1, 2010

flights disappeared when i tried 11/24-11/28 but at least move to pre-booking on the Feb 1.

I put two on hold for next week, a few segments cleared already... anyone have a copy of the fare rules to see if it's possible to standby at a coterminal such as LGA.. for the DFW/ORD flights... it would save me a trip to Newark...

I snagged one of these, but only show purchased -- anybody else go to ticketed?

Getting more is a bit iffy -- I can sometimes get an outbound for another date, but then the return doesn't work.

I have it on hold i hope its not one those LAX-SYD First Class deals and a bummer for us.


EDIT: want to ticket it, but just want to let my travel buddy know that i have it on hold, although he is as crazy traveller as i and probably not say no, but just a formality.

Will confirm: still some dates available; just snagged one more.

Still showing "purchased" but not "ticketed."

Anybody know if H fares allow for free date changes provided that there is availability, or will I have to cancel and refund some of the throwaway dates I booked?

Changes are Free as long as the same fare pricing is available, however not in the case where there would be a fare difference.

EDIT: As long as you are willing to pay the difference in fare, there is no change fee.
