Are there other CMB-type fares out there?
If anyone know of any, could you kindly PM me? I am trying to do some other run given that the CMB is gone

Checked a few of my favorite routes and they are indeed doubled in price.

Cheapest one way used to be around 2k.
A few months ago, you have to buy round trip for around 4k.
Now 8k+

CMB is now one of the most undesirable places in the world to buy a First class ticket on AA

The first post in the CMB-is-back thread is a link to a blog and virtually nothing more.

There are still some great F deals ex-CMB for those who know where to look. I won't post specific details for fear of exposing "intellectual property secrets," but I just grabbed a great F product CMB-SFO/LAX-CMB next year for $3800 all-in.

I doubt what you are saying is any close to reality
Even the two remaining F fares ex-CMB, which everyone knows about, won't be that close to your quoted price after adding taxes and YQ to the basic fare
