Thread: AA Cutting Airfares before the Summer Rush..

American Airlines has cut fares to all 50 states as part of a promotion that presumably will add to its summer traffic. The puzzle is why the carrier’s management would make the offer.

The new promotion, called “Go see the USA,” targets summer travelers. Part of the enticement is a $100 discount on tickets booked between now and the end of the month (April 30). The promotion also includes discounts for hotels and makes the case that travel days between Monday and Thursday usually mean lower ticket prices. The ticket price pitch is based on something any regular or smart flier knows.
