_ Never mind I see some dates are bookable through BA _

Where you book it doesn't matter, but the flight number does.

My corporate TA knows that I tend to avoid codeshares and so I fly many mixed BA / AA flight numbers and on BA and AA ticket stock. I credit everything to AA and in general I earn by the BA table for BA flights and the AA rules for AA flights. My BA upgrades have earned by the upgraded fare class (shown as I rather than U) and I haven't managed to get a single AA flight to credit by Special Fares (even when bought with Citi Prestige points).

Hi -

Fare also available on AY PRG-SFO on their new flight. only 3x a week. I booked one for US$1725 ai. Not quite as good as the VIE-LAX I missed out on, but still a decent Biz fare to the US West Coast.

Worth to mention *A & ST recently started to match these cheap fares as well - when there was the LAS fare earlier this week, ST was cheapest on the same route in July / August, *A in whole autumn calendar and OW from the NYE onward

Also worth to mention our national currency CZK strengthened by 20% against USD recently, so the C fares are looking even more sexy

I picked up 3 of these, 2 for me and 1 for a colleague. Thanks OP!

Last 6 months or so the PRG-SFO has been ~$2500 from what I have seen. ex-BUD has been good consistently.

Wrong! If you maximise TP with this https://goo.gl/flights/tcSz you have the 1-2-1 layout of the ex US A330.

Or you can do far, far better than your suggestion, mainly due to the A321T product on the transcon.

I have added multiple options to show what is possible.

Indeed ^ My example was focussed on the TATL leg.
