I wish that they would do the same for Rio, my 40th is coming up in a few weeks and I'd like to head down. I might be heading to San Jose instead if I can't get a good deal. |

Osgood, I don't know why you cannot see these fares but they are on the AA website. I found one in April around my birthday so I know that they are there. I am seriously thinking about using one as I don't have the money for a trip otherwise but my 40th is rolling around. |

Osgood the weekend returns book up fast, to get the cheap fares you often have to return Mon,Tues,Wed. Try those dates you may still get the 140 fare. |

Some airlines like southwest play the futures market so have their gas prices locked in. The Costa run is a big moneymaker for the airlines look how many of them have flights there. California costs $200 from MIA for a 4 hour flight and AA normally gets $250 for SJO which is only a 2 hour flight. |

Goal is exactly right, recently more and more airlines use traders who specialize in futures contracts and they buy futures in gas and lock in a much better price for long period of time to hedge against rising gas prices. And since their costs are now fixed and pre-determined, they are able to offer better deals on flights since the planes need to get filled. $190 is better than nothing. By the way, the best deal that I could find from NYC in June is $475 on Delta. |

AMR has no fuel hedges past 31mar05. Market rate. This is all about market share. Seats at that price are sold at a loss. this happens each year during the high season to put the squeez on competitors. AA even adds a 4th flight leaving MIA at 11pm. Right. who's going to CR that late at night? Seems a charter group tries to muscle in every once and a while. AA fights back. This isn't about making $$$, it's all about being the last man standing in the AirWars. Then, Ouch. The prices to be paid when the competition thins. Enjoy while it last. HL |
