The PE is much more expensive than the biz fare. It is $2.3K for the PE portion--I've never flown in PE or economy before for a long flight so if I pull the trigger it will be an adventure. If I go Y I would get ~9K fewer EQM's but would save $1K.

I paid $2.4K for the PE fare--much more than the biz fare. I've never flown PE or Y for a long flight before, if I change to Y it will save me $1K and I would receive ~8K fewer EMQ's but I will have already hit my 100K for the year.

Personally, I would save the $1k and go in Y. Especially if I was planning on using a SWU. Or I'd look at CX fares in Y and PE.

Question: If you booked one of these one-way AA flights from HKG via a stop in either DFW or LAX on your way (theoretically) to a Mexican city, would you always have to claim your checked luggage once you hit the United States customs on your first stop (even if you have a ticket to fly to another US City or Mexico in this case)? In effect, not using the entire portion of the ticket and getting off at DFW/LAX with your checked luggage in hand and not re-checking it. Thx

AFAIK the only place you can transit in the United States and not reclaim your luggage is Miami for International to International travel. Everywhere else in the US you must claim your luggage and recheck it at your entry point.

DFW has a similar set up where you do not claim luggage on an ITI itinerary. I did that last month and last December.

Wow - this deal is still active?
I'm surprised it's not been pulled - I'd love to visit MEX some day but not this time/this year
Good luck to all who got it & I hope you enjoy your trip!
It sounds awesome!

Yes it is. If you put sale destination as MEX, there are more options.

Anyone have/think there would be issues dropping the last leg USA-Mexico. I just need this to get to the US and am a us citizen and would have carryon luggage. Windering if in HK they’d ask for a return ticket to the US?

I have used it once like this, with no issue. Got off in DFW and called in to EXP desk that last minute plans had to change (I Did end up having to book another ticket on another airline for travel the next day)

So I’m seeing this price on AA site, but keeps erroring out at booking. Has been doing this for days. Using a multicity search hkg-dfw and then dfw-cun. Would take any routing to cun but dfw-clt-cun is most ideal. Shows open for $1152. Prices on ITA and AA site but errors out after I submit pax info.
Any success manually feeding segments and fare code to an agent? Haven’t called but really want this damn thing to price out.
