Usually when you find a lower fare on a travel booking website, you tend to jump for joy at your bargain hunting skills. But this time around, it actually pays to book directly through the airline and pay a little more. That's because American Airlines offers travelers a Lowest Fare Guarantee. Here's how it works:
If you find the exact same flight and itinerary for at least $5 less on another web site the same day you made your flight purchase on American, the airline will actually refund you the difference and give you $50 airfare credit to be used for a future flight.
Sweet! But it will take a bit of work to let American know that another site has their flight for cheaper.]]>
