WOW Alert – American: Dallas / Atlanta / Minneapolis – Asia. $760 – $1000. Roundtrip, including all Taxes

Posted on April 16, 2013

We know that American Airlines rarely puts fares on sale from Dallas due to its dominance at their fortress hub. In that context, American has some amazing fares to Asia. The best price is to Taipei while the best mileage is to Shanghai due it being on all American metal. There is even a bonus miles promotion to Seoul.

[Update 4/17/2013 @ 9:45PM Eastern. Prices dropped across the board
