American – $343 – $780ish: US – Eastern Europe / Scandinavia. Roundtrip, including all Taxes

YEP! It’s hidden and not easily searchable so follow the instructions below. Some dates might be a little higher — availability is limited!

This seems to be an US Airways / AA codeshare loading issue — it will not last. As a point of reference, the last time where a codeshare loading issue happened was in February from Dallas /Miami / Chicago to Europe. We posted that deal at 8:30PM and it was gone by first thing in the morning. This definitely will be corrected soon. We posted this starting with Warsaw on May 23rd at 6:01PM Eastern. It won’t last!

Update 5/24/2014 @ 4:30PM Eastern – 22 hours later and the fare is gone!

How to Search for Availability:

To get these prices, you must route via Philadelphia or Charlotte and on US Airways plane under American flights from US to Europe. The most logical choice is London as the first European connection point, but Madrid, Zurich etc will also work.

  • Use ITA Software Matrix Airfare Search and use the following search criteria:
    • Departing from: MIA
    • Outbound Advanced Routing Code: aa+ lhr
      • Just using “aa+” will also work for some city pairs like PHL
      • Or use “PHL LHR” instead of aa+ lhr
      • Or use “CLT LHR” instead of aa+ lhr
    • Destination: WAW
      • For Budapest, replace WAW with BUD
    • Return Advanced Routing Code: lhr aa+
      • Or use “LHR CLT” instead of lhr aa+ to see availability. The fare is there. ITA not running all possible combinations and you have massage it.
    • (Click on Advanced Routing Codes link to enable advanced routing code input)
    • (For other Departing cities, replace MIA with the airport from the top of the post)
    • Select “See calendar of lowest fares”
    • Length of stay “0-7” (the max date range is 7 days. So 0-7, 5-12, 7-14 etc)
  • Beginner’s Guide on How to Use Matrix by ITA Software
  • How to Read Airfare Rules and Use It to Your Advantage

Basically, if the first advanced routing code isn’t giving you the price we listed, try the second, then the 3rd option. The fare is there.

Fare Class:

  • O, Q, or N class

Routing:

  • MIA – PHL (Philadelphia) – LHR (London) – WAW (Warsaw) – LHR – MIA.

Stopover:

Mileage:

  • 10,816 miles or 4.2 cents per mile

How to Book:

  • Book with AA.COM with dates found on ITA Software Matrix Airfare Search. It is pricing most city combos correctly — it might initially show a higher price, just click thru with the same flights found on ITA and it will price correctly. If AA isn’t pricing it, you can try online travel agencies like Orbitz, CheapOair etc. Some city combos worked and some didn’t.
