A good fare for nonstop fare to and from Dallas.

The regular economy fare at $158 allows for a normal size carry-on and a personal item in addition to advanced seat assignment.

The $79 fare is a Basic Economy fare. American’s Basic Economy fares do not allow for any advanced seat assignment. Rather, your seat assignment will be randomly assigned during check-in. In addition, normal size carry-on that does not fit under the seat is charged a $25 fee each way (but free if you have an American co-branded credit card or if you have American elite status).

What is The Shorthaul? It is our irregular feature of deals under $200 and 3,000 miles roundtrip.
