MR ex-NRT Help
I've been trying to search for MR fares out of NRT for the 1st week of May preferably on AA. However, I couldn't find anything. I tried ITA, FC and all but came short to what I would consider an MR fare. Any travel agent info based in NRT where I inquire/buy of a cheap fare? Thanks in advance.

try the Japanese national versions of JTB, IACE, and HIS
their us sites respectively are:
www.jtbusa.com
www.iace-usa.com
www.his-usa.com
but golden week may not be great timing to do an MR.

MRs out of NRT are a big problem. If you have miles, ferry yourself to other Asian gateways and then try from there. SIN is notoriously inexpensive, so there might be a better chance. I don't know why NRT always is one of the most expensive places to run a decent trip out of. Sometimes I run down to TPE and start from there. Last time I took CI into TPE, then hopped KL cheap to BKK and started from there and it still was cheaper than being on a run from NRT!

Thanks for the info. I will try checking fares out from HKG/MNL/CMB if there are MR fares from these cities. However, since I am requalifying for AA EP, I am not sure if this will work for me.

I wasn't aware you were looking for AA deals. I only use them for redemption flights ( I inherited 1 million miles from my ex ). So my thinking was more on the UA/NW side. Sorry about that. CMB is not in the picture anymore, too many posts on FT.
