Like this morning’s deal to Rio, this is only available on CheapOair.

A few things:

• It is not searchable on ITA
• It is only available on CheapOair
• We do not know if it will earn any miles with American
• It is showing booked into Business Class on CheapOAir and other data sources. Be aware that could be a mistake.
• It is only available on our sample date (we tried other combinations, but prices were higher)
• Availability is limited

Update 3/28/2014 @ 2:45PM Eastern – looks all gone.

Be aware of these caveats!
