AA: DUB-GRU in J - $2248
Found a pretty good fare out of DUB to GRU via US (JFK, MIA, DFW, etc). Doesn't work via LAX, unfortunately!

Great opportunity to use a SWU to get into F for both long haul flights (or even miles + co-pay). Only works if you connect via DFW or MIA!

Earns around 41K EQM if crediting to AA.

Any chance of stopovers? A few years ago ex AMS fares allowed stopovers in the US...

Unfortunately, this is a through fare - stopovers are EUR 150/600 in EU and US, respectively.

Not a flexible fare, but priced well IMO.

Anyone know what dates this is valid for? 41k EQM for 2.2k sounds pretty darn good.

90 Day advance purchase required; 7 Day minimum stay starting by date of departure (so realistically 5 days in GRU).

Looks good until end of schedule! Have you tried pricing it through ITA Matrix? I believe the best combo is ITA + BookWithMatrix and purchasing directly via AA.

I found dates in June at that price but I can't force the routing in the OP, the closest it will give me is DUB-LHR-DFW-GRU-DFW-DUB which is about 1k less EQM.

Use this template to force a routing through DFW and LHR:

These fares used to allow stopovers, but alas no longer.
