My family alawys wanted to see these places but it is alawys too much from IAH. So will see places like Hong Kong, Beijing, Singapore and Dubai for 40% of the cost. we only fly oneworld and prefer to book with AA.

Is there a trick to getting better pricing to these 2 locations with AA?

I just found R/T from Houston to New Zealand on AA for 1315.00 I have on hold 24 h

Jason, usually just has to do with supply and demand. If that price works for you then go for it!

Jason, also check Fiji Air. They’re an often-overlooked non-alliance partner of AA and though you’d have to change planes in Fiji, it can be cheaper than flying to NZ via Australia.
