A few days ago, we first reported that American joined the deals to Jakarta that United and All Nippon Airways has been doing the last few months from Philadelphia.

The deal is also available from Portland and Seattle. And yes, a similar fare is available on United / All Nippon Airways. But with the lack of long haul American deals the last few months, we are posting the American deal. Unlike the Philadelphia deal, the routing options are more limited. Whereas the Philadelphia deal allowed for more routing options without incurring a significant up charge, if you route via any city besides LA and then Tokyo will result in over a hundred dollar plus fare difference.

You can get to Bali, Borneo, Lombok on a low cost carrier like Air Asia for cheap!
