13 OCT, 2004 - 1305 CDT Being an AAdvantage member, I receive weekly email "netsaaver" fare notices and various larger fare sale notices. I'm sure the other airlines also do similar promotions. However, the Chicago Fall Sale notice I received a few minutes ago is the best deal I have seen on American Airlines in quite some time. The posted fares are a bit lower than what I can normally obtain with my retired employee 20 percent discount. I'm sure there are similar fare sales posted for all of American's major domestic locations. There are the usual holiday black-out periods and the tickets must be purchased by 22 OCT. Many of us can save the ARRL quite a few dollars on travel to the January board meeting and you should be able to lock-in your desired seat, rather than being stuck in a middle coach seat.
