[PREM FARE GONE] AA Europe- West Coast US ~£1050

Decent prices from Europe to some lesser known west coast places via the main hubs, have a play it may be possible to get even better.
Eugene £1042
Boise £1070
Flagstaff £1042
Lots of options seem available.

Good find. Anyone see other origins/destinations apart from DUB and BUD...?

What start cities are getting those prices? The best I can see is £1123 from DUB in February?

Where do you begin to route via DOH? ITA Matrix does not come up with anything with XOH

You need an OJ in Europe for the prices to drop lower. BUD, OTP and MAD also work.

Seems to be based around a short hop from SEA or PHX in the examples (and back via DFW in the case of PHX), be interesting to know any other baseline airport to hop from for more places.

The dates are also just over 6 months from now, so this rolling window of opportunity goes from 9th Feb onwards I guess.

Seems to work back to Dublin too, so doesn't have to be from DUB and back to BUD like the examples.

It's pretty easy to get the routing to pull on ITA. BUD-DOH-JFK-LAX would be allowed using the AA fare. Remember AA flies from DOH now and the routing rules have a point deduction for transiting DOH.

HOWEVER, the cheap I-fare does not have allowance for flights from Europe to DOH on QR metal so it is bumped up to a J-fare that does include QR. That J-fare is much more expensive than these examples.

How do you buy such a flight? Do you talk to AA customer service to book it?

Looks like there are no change fees?

So add to Subject line "Jan 5-March 31 2023.

Another great low season fare that is useless to many.

It would be extremely helpful if someone could explain how to pull up the routing via DOH on Matrix. I can't bring it up regardless of what I enter

You have to do a multicity because of the date differences but as @skunker mentioned, it's a pointless exercise, as it's 5-6 times more expensive, for the "pleasure" of flying BUD-DOH on a QR A320. See. screenshot below:
