American Airlines Eliminating Fare Bundles, Will Change How It Upsells You
At the end of 2012 American Airlines introduced fare bundles.
The idea was to offer a modestly higher fixed fare price for a set of value-added benefits, that you could purchase at time of ticketing — through American’s own channels, and also they hoped through third parties as well.
Their upsell and bundling strategy has, apparently, changed.

Unbelievable Airfare to Visit Eastern Europe: $143 Roundtrip New York JFK – Belgrade!
Back in June Air Serbia launches its new New York JFK – Belgrade non-stop with an Airbus A330 they’ve named for Serbian inventor Nikola Tesla.
The flight is a great way to connect to Eastern Europe and this morning I wrote about $215 roundtrip to several cities (!!).
It turns out it’s also a great opportunity to visit Serbia, which is still off the beaten path for many in the US, because you can book the non-stop roundtrips right now for $143!

Unbelievable Airfare: Los Angeles – Tokyo Non-Stop From Just $374 Roundtrip
Star Alliance joint venture partners United and ANA have a far as low as $374 roundtrip between Los Angeles and Tokyo.
You need to depart Sunday through Thursday in each direction (no Friday or Saturday flights) and the fare is available for outbound travel August 31 through December 9, December 24 to 31, and again January 10 through March 31. Tickets are non-refundable with a $300 change fee.
HOT FARE: West Coast to Europe for $439 Roundtrip
Star Alliance carriers United, Air Canada, and Austrian Airlines have a $439 roundtrip fare between San Francisco and Vienna for October departures. You’ll fly from San Francisco to a United or Air Canada hub where you’ll connect to an Austrian Airlines flight.
Vienna is great in its own right. If you don’t fancy Vienna, it’s still a good opportunity because the two European capitals closest to each other are Vienna and Bratislava (Slovakia). Bratislava is a major hub for European low cost flights, and is often sold ‘as’ Vienna by those airlines. So head to Vienna and take off from there as well. It’s a great fare for fall travel!
