You ALWAYS have an option ....... "NEXT" !!!

Wow, sounds like AA is willing to spend a lot of money to hurt Spirit.

That was just ridiculous. Did anyone actually ever take that flight?

No..that would be insane...especially when would could drive 28 miles south to MIA and catch a nonstop.....but I am looking very forward to another nonstop option at FLL

Shouldn't it become a "how low will you go" fest? Good for consumers.

YIIIIIIPPPPPPPEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you AA. As I sit here in SJO for who knows how long for a late airplane to return to MIA.
MIA-SJO has to have the worst record for lateness of all their legs. Usually 2-4 hours. Now I have to sweat the weather at this time of day.

MIA has to be one of the worst airport terminals to walk thru. FLL is a breeze and I love the cut coral walls in the terminal. As for AA competing for business ? You gotta love free enterprise.
