YUPP fares with AA

[Maca44]

It's been a couple of years since I book YUPP fares with American Airlines, and I seem to recall being able to do it on the aa.com.au site, but now it does not offer the option of selecting restricted first, even when you select multi-city. In saying that, when I go to www.aa.com and do the same search using multi-city search function I can select restricted first.

So, do you simply us the US website, book the flights and then contact the Australian contact number for AA and complete the transaction?

I have searched the forum, but nearly all the threads are old and out of date.

I need to get from Seattle to Chicago and have a day or so up my sleeve, so can someone suggest best routing for SC's per $. I have found SEA-DFW-ORD in P for US$495 but wondered if anyone else could suggest something different.

I would suggest that's quite reasonable given AA has few routes ex-SEA.

Around what time of year?

I fly out of ORD on 6 October 2014. I will be in Vancouver and will take the Amtrak Cascades down to Seattle, and then have to make my way over to ORD.

USD499 via is about as good as it gets for SC's - there are directs for USD488 but earn 120 SCs' at least via DFW you earn 210.

Thanks. I couldn't find anything better. Just a pity CA haven't released any award flights YVR-HKG-SYD which would save me going back to ORD, and the reason I am doing so is I want to fly CA and not QF. I have time on my hands in any event, so no problem
