[FARE GONE] AA: SFO-SJD $74 ai RT; IAD-CUN $217 (ITA fares Mexico fares)
On ITA, I'm seeing SFO-SJD on AA for $74 roundtrip during midweek, or $128 over the weekend, or $159 for useful periods of time. On AA.com, I've managed to price out some of them (although haven't bothered looking for the $74 as I know I wouldn't be able to take them anyways). These appear to require using the free stopover portion of the fare rules and have long-ish layovers, in some cases overnight in DFW in one or both directions. Plenty of availability into 2014 (since the blackout dates don't specify 2013 or 2014), which is actually causing me more trouble to figure out when exactly I want to go 
Edit to add: AA.com appears to price out about $30 higher than ITA, haven't dug into why.

i posted this earlier today in the good deals thread, but it was $298 RT at that point. the overnights in DFW are problematic...trying to find something for late 2013/early 2014...

Still seeing this available, with a base fare as low as $9 each way, but can't convince any booking engine to let me buy it. Even aa.com locks into an infinite loop of repricing whatever I give it, up and down.
