All the dates in September and October I was looking at are available (out from and back to CDG) but I just can't commit myself just now. But I'm sure this isn't the last nutcase sale we will see. Has anyone any idea where it would get me to if I credited it to airberlin TopBonus?

Yes, that price change is inherent to searching on GF. I can work to your advantage as well.
And maxvor, let me compliment you on your great contribution to this thread and the way you help others! We were of to a slightly rocky start, but it looked like I completely misjudged you and I once again apologise! You rock.

my schedule: CDG-JFK (stopover) -LAX-HNL-LAX-JFK-CDG
1485 euro via AA (see link on previous page). First leg is ticketed as AY, that's the trick here

ok, first one booked and paid!
now looking to book another flight, but again can't seem to price it:
CDG - JFK (AA45) on June 22
JFK - CDG via LHR on the evening of June 26th (either AA104 or BA182)
initially it shows up at around 1400 euro
@maxvor: would you be willing to help me out again?

Hoping someone can help me, after years of lurking at these fares I've finally put CDG-JFK-LAX-HNL-LAX-JFK-CDG on hold to get to BA Gold this year!
Now I have a 2hr stopover at JFK on the outbound and 55mins at LAX and pretty similar on the way back.
From what I can tell by searching old threads I am going to need to clear customs when I enter the US and collect my luggage. Does this give me enough time to clear immigration and customs and re-check my baggage for the domestic flights? I guess I have protection with AA but I'm only staying for 2 nights in HNL so it will be chaos if I miss a connection.........

Jeffers8, you are asking for misconnects and reroutes. AA is also notoriously bad if you miss your connection, as they will have upgraded every man and his dog for free and therefore only have last minute availability in Y. Protected you are but fly in comfort you will not (necessarily) and original routing credit will be a pain.
Find a route with at least 3hrs in NY and 2 in LAX and travel HBO... You're only in Hawaii for 2 days after all.

We booked this yesterday to Hawaii for Christmas. Our first warm Christmas!
We're doing CDG-JFK-LAX-HNL and then the same back. 2.5 hours in JFK to change will hopefully be enough time.
On the way back, HNL-LAX is treated as domestic right? So no need to recheck bags, etc.?

HNL and LAX are both in the USA, thus, domestic!
Christmas in Hawaii... nice!
