I'm not saying you're not mostly correct, but there is a possibility of gaining significant EQD and redeemable miles by booking in PE rather than coach, at the prices stated if you are able to book it as a special fare.
Yeah, I know what a special fare is. In most cases they are "bulk fares" available with packages. I am 100% correct for this fare as currently posted in this thread. This isn't a discussion of special fares, so stop trying to make it one. I have edited your statement to make it correct.

Also, I looked on AAvacations.com (the easiest way for most people to find special fares) and the P* fares were double the price on the days I looked.

It earns more miles as costs more in AA program but you maybe able to get special fare earning even more miles people have their tricks. Also its beneficial and more comfortable and will earn more miles in PE than economy for those banking to other one world programs. PE makes sense in many different ways.

I'm not sure you do know what a special fare is: nearly any fare can be booked as a bulk fareit just means a bulk discount off of a published fare. I was able to find this bookable as a special fare via the Chase portal in 30 seconds.

It's a massively important distinction, because that would earn 100% of flown miles plus bonuses, and at least 1200 EQD depending on routing. Why would I "stop" discussing that in this thread?

Good luck with that. Feel free to continue to discuss something not covered by the OP and misinformation. I'm out.

I am...very confused.

Anywho, for others reading: many to most AA fares, including this one, can be booked as special fares using certain OTAs or using credit card portals. This thread has full details: AA "Special Fare" (AA Vacations, TYP, MR, etc.) Questions, EQD, Issues (merged)

In the case of the fare posted by the OP, booking as a special fare more than doubles the EQD and redeemable mileage earned if you choose to book in PE.
