There are some better deals than 1500 as well, I just put LAX-SGN (Ho Chi Minh City) for $1375. Crazy good. Thanks!

Rofl -- first time I've seen him being honest.

I wonder, these guys make their living by pumping cards, what does killing a fare get them?

Looks like if you route with DFW - ICN on AA, you can put KE as the SE Asia tag flight (due to the AA/KE codeshare on DFW - ICN).

Also for slightly more ($2109) you can get to SIN and have the PVG - SIN portion on SQ A380).

Great find OP!

Has anyone been able to price out a stopover in the Asian Gateway? Fare rules stipulate 2 stopovers in each direction at $100 each at the C3 gateway, but I tried pricing out LAX-HKG (stopover)-KUL-HKG-LAX and it seems to break the fare.

Hoping to use this as positioning to Asia and visit TYO and PEK.

Who else thought to themselves thanks but no thanks as soon as they found out that the trans-pacific segment had to be on AA?

Wow, this is a great deal. You can extend the Hong Kong layover into a one night stopover at the same price point.

Was able to price it out but only as a one night stopover.

I did:

NYC - HKG
HKG - SGN
SGN - NYC

Puts me on the 77W for the outbound though stuck on the 787 for the return.

Ahh...looks like only 1 night stopover works. I was trying to price out a week in HKG then continuing to KUL

Thanks OP. Was able to route via CGK-HKG-DFW on TPAC for a few extra dollars. Looking forward to fly AA after many years.

How did you manage this? My whole purpose of this search was to try and find DFW-DPS, or close by on either end without an extreme layover.
