1) BOOK ON A WEDNESDAY. That's when all major airlines have cheaper rates for the week.
2) When you go on the site, Airline Tickets and Airline Reservations from American Airlines | AA.com, instead of going directly to "book a flight", on the left hand side there are tabs. Click on the one that says "Net SAAvers & Special offers", then click on "fare sales". Put in the city to and from, then it will bring up their sale rate. Then I added my 10% group discount** and bought my parents' tickets from LAX to Cabo for $352 for a straight flight!!! OMG I was SO relieved I even bought my sister one just to make sure they booked!! This was just last week. Today, it went down to $339. I called to see if they would do a rate adjustment, but they said they'd charge a $150 change fee (uh, no thanks!). Hope that helps anyone who is still needing to book from LAX.
**When you have a group coming from one area, call the airline group rate and they will set you up with a 10% discount. This is FANTASTIC! Unfortunately it only has them until 12/10 but for those of you that have not bought yet, i found it this morning LAX to SJD before 12/10 for $262....wow, cheapest I have seen in 2 mos!
