AA official statement:
Dear Customers and Partners,
we would like to make a statement about our yesterday’s published fares:
“American Airlines had fare filing mistake on tickets to and from Tel Aviv. We will honor the tickets purchased by customers.”
Thanks for your understanding.
Have a great weekend
Did we miss anything??

I’m almost positive it was intentional.

Would make sense. New route launch, they did close to zero advertising AFAIK. Good way to get some PR while filling up empty planes

Now I regret not booking a ticket a month... great way to visit friends and family regularly (and restock goods on the cheap...) for little money.  Also a pretty good path to high status.

I just got off the phone with American they said that since these are basic economy fares you cannot Order special meals. Sound kind of strange 12 hours and no kosher food?

LOL.
They just don't take orders until you're within 30 days IIRC.

I was interviewed in Hebrew by Kan11 (כאן 11) about the fare and gave DansDeals a shout out :-)

It's supposed to air on the evening news, but I haven't seen any mention of the piece yet in a promo...

Still have to call in to order KSML? Also how long of a schedule change do you need in order to be able to cancel for a refund?

I don't think it ended up being aired, which is odd since it was a real interview where they sent a camera guy to my home and everything (not one of those random guy on the street interviews)

Correction: it's supposed to be airing on tonight's evening news (which can be streamed live or viewed later via the Kan11 site).

@moe8555 are you at 59:29?

Guilty as charged  ;D

I spoke much more, but they edited a lot out (including my DansDeals shout-out...but it's the thought that counts, right?)

Looks like those guys posted the deal over an hour after DDF/DDMS but get the credit.
C'est la vie.

Tisot sodiot is huge here.  Nobody would know who/what DansDeals is, even if they had mentioned it.  I certainly saw it on DD Telegram well before it was on Tisot Sodiot and shared it with the Israeli frequent flyer/points/status WhatsApp group I belong to (which Yaniv also belongs to  :-X)
