American has had a long running fare sale in business class from Vancouver, Los Angeles, and San Francisco to Panama City.  

American Airlines 777, from Bizjournals.com

Fares start at $578 from Vancouver and price out to be around $700-800 for LAX/SFO.  The good part is that you can get one heck of a routing if you play your connections right.

We booked SFO/LAX/JFK/MIA/PTY/MIA/ORD/JFK/SFO for $852 in business over Labor Day, and trust me it took some serious luck and patience to get all those flights to line up.

If you’re looking to earn some EQM, this is a fantastic way to do it.  Here’s Vancouver for $578 US
