AA : ORD - MEX $600 RT Business


- GF Link
- thanks to AA's very accommodating routing rules you can push this to around 9-10k Alaska miles earned (before elite bonuses)




- similarly it should be possible to route via JFK and use the AM 787 if you are interested in DL MQMs

If you are going to post "Deals" shouldn't they be cheaper than "typical for your trip" like it shows in the screenshots? If you look at Google flights over the next 12 months the price graph shows the business average at $591 most of the time. This is what is the main problem with this forum thread. We subscribe to this thread to get business deals but most of what I see is run of the mill junk, like spam. It's like the boy who cried wolf and devalues your own brand.

Business class fares from the US to Mexico and Central America have always been well below $700 - $800 this time of year. I have seen fares at the level of the OP from ORD to MEX, MGA, SAL and others most of what would be considered "off season" for several years.

I always hate to be negative. I want to send business the direction of folks that have great deals but it's gotta be an actual deal. It dilutes this forum area and even your own brand to post run-of-the-mill prices.

IMO it is worse than that. These posts drive visits to their sites (aka revenue).

Their main function is to push down and bury the real deals into page two of the forum, which is good, so they don't get burned by overexposure...

GUA, SAL, SAP are all really cheap and definitely a lot of fun to explore, for folks who are more adventurous of course. I had a lot of fun doing and OJ, into SAP and then out of GUA, did Copan Ruinas, Lake Atitlan, and much more. Check out the yt channel in my signature if anyone is interested, but if you just want to do MR, this may not be the best in CPM.
