Price Matching?
I'm going to London in June to meet up with my wife and we'd like to fly home on the same flight, which is USA, of which I'm a Dividend Miles member. However, the cheapest flight through USA is over $1,200. I can go through Air Canada for $760, but I wouldn't get the massive Dividend miles or fly home with my wife. Does anyone know any way to get USA to come down on their fare? Thanks.

June is peak travel time, but $1,200 still seems like alot for the lowest priced ticket (assuming you're not trying to book the lowest upgradeable fare). Have you checked the US website, as well as Expedia, Orbitz & Travelocity? I would check each of these sites a few times a day, so if the fare dips you can pounce on it. You should also call USAirways, as they sometimes have cheaper fares if you book over the phone.
Is there any flexibility in your travel schedule? Midweek transatlantic flights tend to be cheaper than weekend flights.
You may get more (and more informative) responses if one of the moderators moves this post to the US forum.
