Nope. It's a roundtrip only fare, starting in either NY or DEN.

How do you force price it via LAX and not via CLT/ ORD etc.

Jus got to search AA for the right flights. It takes a while.. Though most are sold out now.

Still lots of dates in January. Just try DEN-JFK-DEN or JFK-DEN-JFK and scroll down the list until you see an LAX connection.

if you search on google flights you can filter by connecting airport and by airline (which is useful as DL has some super cheap nonstop fares in the market)

Curious if anyone has any experience with testing nesting/back-to-back rules. Am I right in reading the fare rules to say that there is no minimum stay for 2016 travel? I would love to visit friends in Denver (and have a place to stay), but also want to be in New York for the weekend (and would love to start requalifying on EQPs. But I think what I want to do is "nesting" and would be prohibited.

Could I book:

Thursday night JFK-LAX-DEN, with a return Monday afternoon DEN-LAX-JFK. Friday night DEN-LAX-JFK, with a return Sunday afternoon JFK-LAX-DEN?

Fare rules don't seem to require a minimum stay in 2016:

NOTE - TEXT BELOW NOT VALIDATED FOR AUTOPRICING. FOR TRAVEL ON/AFTER 31DEC15 AND ON/BEFORE 01JAN16 NO MINIMUM STAY REQUIRED FOR TRAVEL ON/AFTER 02JAN16 TRAVEL FROM LAST STOPOVER MUST COMMENCE NO EARLIER THAN THE FIRST SUN AFTER DEPARTURE FROM FARE ORIGIN.

EDIT - think I misread this now... looks like my plan would be nesting and prohibited. nevermind.

I just held 2 weekend trips in Dec. No same day turns, but could be a nice trip out. Will decide tomorrow whether we take, but Señor Heatheresq's quest to 25K EQP is really weighing in favor of yes. We got in on the discounted W tix to OGG a few months ago which should net 10K EQP (enough for PL). With this, I calculate we will get damn close to 25K. I need to figure out the exact calculus.

EDIT: DELETE

Was able to book the west-east-west version @ $565ai just after the first of the year.

Positioning is a bit of a challenge to keep this to a weekend overnight. Naturally, am concerned about sudden illness catching up to me @ LAX necessitating a missed last cxn to DEN. Hoping for a miracle recovery to allow a quick hop up the coast home instead.
