can anyone get the 777 both ways for this price? I can only get it one way

Im looking at a LAX-MIA-LIR-MIA-DFW-LAX with 777 outbound J and MIA-DFW on the refurb 767 J.

Any hotel recomendations for LIR?

I've got one on hold with the one-stop/777 segment both ways and am checking hotels too. I like the idea of DFW stop and the refurb 767 but (a) I'm not sure how many miles that will add to a MIA-LAX straight shot [nb: it's a 14 mile difference], and (b) don't count on the nice 767. AA has a nasty habit of showing the refurb version on way more routes than they actually have aircraft to serve them...unless that's changed recently. I'm taking leisurely overnight layovers in MIA instead

I believe you need to build the route as a multi-city with an actual stopover. Otherwise, it wouldn't work due to connection timings. Fortunately, there was no price increase with the stopover and a night in MIA seemed like a good idea. I haven't checked the fare rules, but presumably a free stopover is allowed.

Easy to do a same-day connection at LIR? If so, how much time is required?

I went to LIR as a combo MR / vacation last year. If you are strictly doing this as a MR and need a place to spend the night before heading back then Hilton garden inn Liberia airport is your best bet. The airport is 25-30 mins out of town along a highway with not much outside. The Hilton is on the other side of the highway opposite airport and has shuttle and breakfast. Other close options without heading into town are smaller lodge type local places that did not appeal to me.

<OT> Liberia the town is not much at all just a tiny town along a major highway going through Central America . You will not miss anything by not going into town. However if you are spending a couple of days then going into town helps in seeing the rincon national park which has volcanitoes ( smaller spouts / volcanic activity), a trek to very nice waterfall etc. or from airport u can head towards the beach - many beach cities exist. I recommend tamarindo which is 2 hrs from airport and has nice accommodations and water related activities.

Well, even a angleflat 763 is > any other domestic narrowbody so.. :P

Real reason I stopped in DFW is I might need to terminate there depending on the work load that day.

any way to get this with a start or end in nyc?

I came back from a vacation in Nicaragua & Costa Rica via LIR a few weeks ago.

It's a small airport with one main international terminal with 6 or 8 gates, with one concourse. Can't remember if internal flights to SJO have a different terminal though.

In terms of accomodation, there's either the Hilton nearby (NB the airport access road is a mile or so long), some places in Liberia city, or (about 30mins by taxi) the beach resorts of either Playa del Coco or Playa Hermosa, or a few other smaller places. Coco has a small walkable town centre with bars & restaurants while Hermosa is more self-contained resort places.

If anyone's looking for a *A/UA run, there's YVR-LIM for $1500, 29K PQM.
Lie-flat on 4/6 segments.

Just made a reservation containing PHX-LAX-CLT-MIA-LIR-MIA-CLT-LAX-PHX for $1094. Not as favourable as from the start, with almost unlimited connections, but still good material for a BA TP-run.

Thanks to OP ^

not for that price, not for that city, BUT it seems available to Managua at a bit more. https://goo.gl/flights/l1sz

This fare was timely for me as I'm planning a vacation in CR. Have LAX-MIA-LIR (LAX-MIA on 773), LIR-DFW-LAX on hold for my family.

I will need positioning flight from SFO. As long as I book AA for SFO-LAX and back, I will be protected despite the different reservations, correct? Does this hold true even if I book AA flights using Avios via BA?
