No idea but it might be worth a try as booking fees for using an agent have been waved. I think that is still the case. Ridiculous fare.

Are there regular flights available on other dates around when you want to fly? Perhaps they are not sure they are going to fly on that date. AA changes their calendar a lot, except for the flights from Miami. You can call, but I doubt they will tell you about any other fares. Can't hurt, I guess. They used to charge when you called to book a flight, but don't think they do any more.

Georgia,
I could be wrong but it seems AA often does schedule changes on the weekend and things tend to get a little wonky, sometimes in your favor and sometimes not. We once were able to secure rt Business Class tix to SXM for $259.00 each on one of these occasions. Not saying this is the problem but if I were you I'd cool my heels till the early part of the week and see what happens then. All things are subject to change. Or not but good luck either way and I wish you an outcome as good as ours that one time.
Respectfully,
pat

With that holiday that could be the reason it is so expensive. That's the same day we always fly, and the tickets are always higher than other days, but $2,000 each for a one-way ticket is a bit over the top. Last year we flew round-trip for $1,700 each. Pat, I've been looking for a couple of weeks now, but still being patient. I may make a phone call next week just to see what I find out. I figure I have nothing to lose but a little bit of time.

I checked the dates for our usual weeks long about then, and it looks like their might be somewhat of a sale on AA up through November 30 as the flight down from DTW was very reasonable but the return on 12/11 was about what you experienced GaKaye. Think I'll wait and see. Cheers!
