Try AA Vacations. Their packaged fare is usually lower than just the Business Class airfare alone.

But you need to buy a land component with it. I was told that some folks who fly AA often know of Agents that provide cheap D Class fares to Europe and other destinations.

Thanks for the info on the flight certs
I did not know they existed
Certainly some of the prices are a very good deal. J to S.A and J to Asia
It says only valid on AA, but it does not mention valid only on AA marketed and operated flights.
So could I use one of these say to KUL via NRT?
So anyone can buy these certificates . Correct?

Think they are only valid on Point to Point American metal and only obligatory stopover under 24 hours. Your are only going to find low cost consolidator fares if you remain on one airline and avoid Code Shares or Interlining, once you start wanting the Full Service you have to start paying the Full Price. The Best Deal LAX-KUL which might suit you is the American/JAL Codeshare fare with Expedia.com Around $3240 in Business Class: Miles and Points on Codeshare sectors but not upgradeable.
Anybody can buy the AA Incentive Vouchers

Kentown,
Wow. Another bit of valuable information... and form what I see on the pages, using the Seven day Advance Purchase Incentive Flight certificate still means earning Q miles and points, right?
Search is right... thanks!

This would be worth checking to South America. I know for instance that the Incentive tix to Australia are not on AA (they are booked on QF, obviously b/c there is no AA metal down there). From memory if you go online to purchase one, the restrictions about operator come up at the bottom of the page.
Actually, just checked and it is AA metal only.

AAh Different Rule for Australia and New Zealand:
"Travel is valid only on American Airlines, American Eagle, AmericanConnection and through our oneworld alliance partner Qantas Airways."
Most likely they can do this because Qantas are a Full One World Members whereas, EVAir,JAL,ChinaEastern are just Milage partners.Please dont ask me why they cant do it with Cathay Pacific to South East Asia.

Hmm. These look interesting. Where do you find the fare rules for these? Particularly, I'm interested in finding out the stopover rules and whether they are upgradeable with miles or, in the U.S., with stickers.

Don't just rush out and buy an Incentive Flight Certificate expecting to get on the flights you want, especially in D class to South America. I checked into it not too long ago and there were no available D fares for weeks on end to EZE. Sure, they exist, but the promo material for the program doesn't clearly let you know that seats can be very limited and very hard to find. I didn't check F or Y.
