American Airlines Seat Sale ends 30.04.06

There is a limited time seat sale at American Airlines s at the moment.

The best deals need booking by Sunday 30.04.06 but availability on some flights may be getting a bit short.

I have saved several hundred pounds on this offer on a Florida multi-destination flight for November. In fact for my family (2 Adults, 1 x child) it was over £800 cheaper than a charter price offer which had less convienient flight times and us landing 150 miles away from where I wanted to be.

If you are looking at the prices, take a close look as to when they have cut off dates for flights - i.e.Man - Mia is £304 on 01.11.06, but is £411 on 31.10.06. One day can make a huge difference !

One thing that really surprised me is the lack of "logic" that applies to some fares, here's an example. Man - ORD (Chicago) on 01.11.06 is £313, however, if I then travel an additional 1200 miles to Miami, the price drops to £304 !!!

The website does make mention that there is a limited number of tickets available at these prices on each date so I suppose when they've gone, they've gone. Also weeken prices are slightly higher.

All prices include taxes & fees.

If you do decide to fly with AA, it's a good idea to sign up with AAadvantage (their frequent flyer membership thingy) as it means you can pick your own seat. Also their mileage awards are quite generous.

p.s. when I went to check on the seat prices, Man - Chicago going out on 01.11.06 and coming back on 08.11.06 actually came in at £246 which is £67 cheaper than they advertised. Even the weekend flights were coming in at £276 which is still cheaper than their original offer.
The aa.com "flexible flight dates" button wins again.
