<p>FauxNom, thanks for continuing to share travel tips with us. The weird thing is that neither itasoftware.com, nor American’s own web site shows the fare I am referring to. Not only are they not showing the fare, their search engines do not even offer the particular flights I booked on Expedia. Yet, after booking on Expedia the reservation and the flights did show up under my D’s frequent flyer account on aa.com. Go figure… I am still trying to find a way to take advantage of this disconnect, now and in the future. Practically all airlines have a “low fare guarantee” on their own websites, where they say that if you find a lower fare elsewhere on the exact same flights, they will refund the difference and add a $50 certificate to boot.</p>
<p>mdcissp: Expedia charges $7 per ticket, not too bad. Most of the time this can be avoided by booking directly with the airline.</p>
