American Cuts Ticket Prices

AMR Corp.’s American Airlines said it’s cutting fares on domestic and international routes and offering deeper discounts for purchases made through its Web site.

American, the world’s largest airline, said that some purchase requirements apply and tickets must be purchased by Jan. 15. The offer includes up to 10% in further discounts for tickets bought online at AA.com, the airline’s Web site.

Under the sale, travelers can fly round trip from Los Angeles to Honolulu for $365, to London for $403 and to Guadalajara for $342. Tickets for the same trips purchased on the Web site would cost $330, $365, and $309, respectively.

U.S. airlines, battered by the economic downturn, have been cutting fares as they try to lure travelers back after Sept. 11.
