Another airfare sale just started. Purchase on AA.com by August 27, 2012, and start travel between September 4, 2012, and November 10, 2012. All travel needs to be complete by November 15, 2012. $563 R/T with tax from NYC, $586 from DC. Other markets available as well. Other carriers may follow in the next few days.
Yeah, I remember the $289 R/T sale days too. Now, this is about as good as it gets.
