I just booked two of these (one on the 28th and one on the 29th of April).
Does this fare class credit at all to AA? It says their lowest fare class earns 100% and .50 EQM, but an "R" fare is not listed on the AA website.
Thanks!

fairly certain UA still has the $228ai san-sfo-ewr-bos routing available that yields four 500mi minimum segments on a RT.... for those interested. if this is a new low fare for AS, hopefully UA tries to compete.

I believe they are. That $30 difference between UA and AS is going to pay the fees and taxes of connecting (twice) versus a nonstop.
