Fare dead, not showing up anymore on ExperFlyer. Good job to those who called in to book, you ruined the fun for everyone! You know who you are... Fare lasted just over 14 hours... lol.

Not a ton of work if you're located in say, Madrid or elsewhere in Europe or north Africa ...

Booked this for next May - July for 730 directly on AA website. Outbound after memorial day weekend and inbound before July 4th. Will look to book some award flights to round out this nested trip. Thanks OP!

The fares generally reset at midnight of the origin.
So people should have time until 23:59 Moroccan time to book.

The first one is a F outbound combined with A inbound.

The most restrictive fare applies, so you are wasting paying for F fare class because you won't get the flexibility. You will earn the miles of F-coded, though.

Not always: I think with the new technology coming out they can live deploy fares on several GDS

Today, I'm not. Next March, April, May? Well ...

Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but not all US people live in the US.

To be fair, this lasted a lot longer than I thought it would.

At any rate, thanks OP

if restriction was not relaxed during summer, the chance of relaxing during autumn/winter/next spring is not high.


That’s why I said “not US person”.

True. I guess this fare is good if you are BA elite based in Europe or Africa?

It seems like a lot of American elites are hopping on this though and I'm not sure what their end game is. Positioning flights suck and even if you do it get to post as special fare then you are only earning like 4500 EQD. Sure, it'd be cool to fly first class for cheap but I don't see it being worth the hassle unless you are also earning some good points.

Confirmed AA has pulled all of their fares ex-CMN to all of the US, lol. In business and first. Panic!

For those that want to try getting a last minute booking in, ex-RAK is still good, however, it's an A fare for $1160 (still a killer deal nonetheless.)

3 round trips to get BA Gold (AA EXP equivalent) for $2100, in international first. Not a bad deal!

Just booked this for $733 on AA.com. Dates are early Feb/late April. Tried numerous routings, but the only one to work was 2-stop via MAD and LHR.
