[FARE GONE] AA: GIG/GRU- multiple locations (HKG/LAX/MIA/SFO ETC) ~$200 Y ~$360 J!
I posted this in the premium fares deals section too, but it's valid for economy as well.

This might be only showing up on the brazil version of AA.com but the site is getting hammered right now with what is probably a mistake fare.

GRU-HKG for ~360 in J at current exchange rates..

The price only shows on the last page..(where you enter CC info)

It's been stuck at ticket pending for a while, so not sure if this will go or not..

Example:

You can book through the US site.. just change country of residence to Brazil on the flight information page (where you enter the cities and dates)

Just booked another one!

You have to go all the way to the final page where you enter your CC info..

They are all still at ticket pending so who know's if they will go or not

What browser are you using? I've tried Chrome and Firefox, but the site is down on both (even when I switch my country to Brazil).

Thanks!

The tickets will be invalidated. DOT allowed United to do that a few months ago. Good luck.

DOT doesn't apply to flights originating from Brazil.. They have to honor it if it tickets...

Are you seeing the prices upfront, or do they change at checkout?

When changed the country to Brazil on AA.COM, this is what I got.

https://www.aa.com.br/homePage.do?locale=pt_BR

We're working on our site

aa.com is down for maintenance. We expect to be back soon.

Thank you for your patience.
