I have a source inside American Airlines that tipped me off on the $99 fare to LAX, by now we all know it wasn't accurate. So what happened? Allow me to explain. My source got his hands on an email that indicated the above flight deal with the details i posted, my source is absolutely reliable and he's proven it to me over the years. The 50k US Airways Card offer came from him. I knew all along that it was possible the email was simply a rough draft and never finalized or that AA might decide to pull it last minute, but either way i decided to post it for the benefit of the forum. You should know the power of this forum as my source told me that traffic at aa.com spiked unusually at 2pm Sunday drawing the attention of the higherups at AA.
My sincere apologies though, to all those left disappointed and to those who have to now explain to their wife why they're no longer getting an LA vacation.
