American Airlines Expands Zone Fares

American Airlines has revised its zone fare pricing for group travel, making it less expensive and more flexible. The new fares range from $235 to $556, translating into an average price reduction of 20 percent. (Hawaii is more costly.) Saturday night stays are no longer required, the maximum stay has increased from 14 to 30 days, and there are no penalties for block cancellations 120 days or more prior to travel.

The zone fares apply to destinations within the 48 states, Hawaii, and Canada that are served by American Airlines and American Eagle, American's commuter carrier.
