American also has a $780 fare, but it is a Basic Economy fare:

• DO NOT allow for advance seat assignments.
• DO NOT include checked bags – they are $75 each way for the 1st bag and $100 for the 2nd
• DO NOT allow for changes
• DO NOT allow for cancellations – so if you cancel after the 24 hour risk free period, the Basic Economy version will have no value for future travel
• Most online travel agencies are not properly displaying these fares with American / British Airways / Finnair / Iberia as BASIC ECONOMY.
