Ongoing Transcon Fare Evolution: First Class Upgrade on American For Only $400

Last month, American lowered 30-day advance-purchase Business Class fares to $1,196, and it also introduced a lower First Class fare, cutting its previous fare by 30%.

Then in the May 26 FCF alert, AA came out with a new First Class fare in which AA upgraded passengers from Business Class for only $400 more round-trip; the fare ended May 31, but now it is back till June 5, and I’d bet it will be extended again.
