Just checked skyscanner in Oct/Nov (also other months like Mar/Apr16) and found lots of deals SYD to LAX for around $740AUD its operated by Qantas sold by American Airlines.

New York from Sydney is around $840AUD !
Las Vegas from Sydney is around $794 AUD !
TORONTO Canada just $1045 AUD (around $500 less than next cheapest)
Vancouver From Sydney (Mar/Apr 16) $1008

    Another glitch or ?

    • [Deactivated] on 03/07/2015 - 20:04

      Maybe. I didn't think you could book an AA itinerary originating in AU since a few years ago. Makes QF sad.

  • obses2ion on 03/07/2015 - 19:26

    Pretty good, for $749 you can fly direct!

      So you are saying they are not 'operated by Qantas ' ?

  • RockyRaccoon on 03/07/2015 - 19:34

    Keep in mind with the Qantas price glitch a number of skyscanner deals were cancelled. Other booking sites didn't have this issue

  • anna10 on 03/07/2015 - 19:39

    Many of the other fares of $500 we're honoured by QF.

    • GalaxyNexus on 04/07/2015 - 00:17

      This one would be on AA's dime instead of QF's, so the result might be different.

  • whoistheg on 03/07/2015 - 19:41
    +6

    All these fares are on AA.com

    I just found Melbourne - Dallas and then Lax Mel for 2459 for 3 Adults,

    That is 819 each.

    I priced it on Qantas and they want $1389 each.

    Def a Deal..

    EDIT: Booked and its now appearing in my QFF page..

    So do you fly American Airlines or Qantas??

      you fly on Qantas planes if the flights say Operated by Qantas

      • some_one_some_where on 03/07/2015 - 20:07

        AA fly's most sector for Qantas in CONUS. Same for Qantas where they fly for all AA tickets sold for travel in AUS.

      • Tightwads brother on 03/07/2015 - 20:26

        Cheers

    • GalaxyNexus on 04/07/2015 - 00:20

      Pretty sure American Airlines does NOT fly to Australia. All their flights operated by Qantas.

        Not correct - true until recently but AA has resumed flying directly to Australia.

        http://www.smh.com.au/business/aviation/qantas-and-american-…

        "Qantas Airways adds a new flight between Sydney and San Francisco and alliance partner American Airlines launches flights between Sydney and Los Angeles

        But American will fill that capacity gap by adding daily flights on its flagship 777 product from Sydney to Los Angeles, which features fully-flat seats, all with aisle access, along with a bar in its first-class and business-class cabins. It will depart from the luxurious new Tom Bradley International Terminal at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), giving customers access to Qantas's new business and first class lounges.

        It will be the first time American has flown to Australia since the 1990s, and the US carrier will share revenue with Qantas as part of their trans-Pacific joint venture agreement"

        • GalaxyNexus on 04/07/2015 - 00:36

          I don't think any of the AA flight schedule has been loaded yet. It's not bookable anywhere.

        • Gav on 04/07/2015 - 14:13

          @GalaxyNexus: Correct, not bookable yet. Still awaiting approval.

  • jman123 on 03/07/2015 - 20:08

    If you use the aa.com website make sure you're on the US site and not the Australian site. The benefit of the AA site is that it shows you the prices for +/- 3 days. From what I can see, the glitch seems to be that the Fuel Surcharge (YQ) has been left off.

    • pw2002au on 03/07/2015 - 20:39

    Done. LA on qantas for $800.

  • nath023 on 03/07/2015 - 20:49

    Looks to be another pricing glitch. Go for it. Maybe use expedia for the 24 hr cancellation policy if in doubt?

  • SY on 03/07/2015 - 21:09

    just a head up, after I purchase my SYD - LAX ticket on QF flight, I login to my QF account and notice that baggage is not included in the fare. to buy a baggage allowance is $123 per sector!!!!

    • whoistheg on 03/07/2015 - 21:27
      +2

      I think it might be best to call AA

      on AA.com it lists the bags as

      $25 for the first checked
      bag,
      $35 for the second,
      $100 for the 3rd, 4th and
      5th,
      $200 for the 6th and over

      • SY on 03/07/2015 - 21:40

        the pricing that I got was from the Qantas site when I login to manage my booking!
        thanks for the additional info

        • whoistheg on 03/07/2015 - 21:47

          Im not sure now.. its pretty messy.. i have NFI.. If worse comes to worse.. Ill just get a bag for return..

          Edit:

          So I just called AA and the lady said as its transpacific it includes 2 x 23kg bags. I asked if they had
          and documents on that and she said not really

          Now i 100% agree with you its not showing on Qantas..

          Maybe ill call Qantas tomorrow and get to the bottom.

          I had to book my Infant daughter separately and see has its listed on her itinerary

          Here is the link on AA.com

          http://www.americanairlines.com.au/i18n/travelInformation/ba…

          it says

          Charges to / from U.S. Domestic

          Region Bag 1 Bag 2 Bag 3 Bag 4+
          U.S. Domestic $25 $35 $150 $200

          South America $0 $0 $150 $200

        • billbro on 06/07/2015 - 21:37

          @whoistheg:

          Did you end up calling Qantas to confirm whether baggage is included?

          Reading both the AA and Qantas websites, I would assume baggage is included in the fair - though the Nil baggage on my ticket concerns me when others seem to have baggage allowances.

          @billbro:

        • wezza on 07/07/2015 - 09:35

          @whoistheg:

          Indeed it is. There's nothing there when checking the AA reference on AA.com and nothing in Qantas/CheckMyTrip using the Qantas PNR.

          Would be nice if the etickets had this listed to relieve any anxiety!

    • jamestownfx on 03/07/2015 - 23:29
