$75 fee:

-21+ days prior to departure is based on the departing city time zone, not the booking city time zone.

EDIT: I managed to call in and have them waive the fee when it was within 21 days in departing city time zone but not by booking city time zone

UPDATE: AA has removed all close-in fees

I have an itinerary that includes an F leg so I'll be charged the full F price on the entire itinerary.
Does this mean one leg can be booked in economy staandard since it cost less than 1st?
Don't think so.

looking to book a ticket pre deval on AA. not sure if I will bring my daughter with me. If I do I would put her in the F seat along with me and book my wife in Y and just have my daughter sit with one of us. My wife and daughter have similar names would it be safe to use my daughters name with my wifes birthday and call up later and say that it was a mistake?

Does KA follow the CX rule of releasing all seats except 1?
Does a canceled award on KA via Avios go back into inventory?
TIA

I have a 23 1/2 layover in Lhr, flying BA then AA. BA told me officially they transfer the baggage to the destination if less then 12 hr layover, but the agent at check in can check thru even if longer, if they want. Do I have a chance that a Tlv agent will check in my luggage thru?

I don't think it will be problem. Try telling them you have taxable imports or something like that

If trying to book

One way:
TN J
AA F

Should be 62.5K.

Only one ticket available in TN J. If I book a second ticket
TN W
AA F

Will that also price at 62.5K?
If a second spot opens in TN J will that allow to upgrade the W portion for free?

Not sure in which thread to ask this so I'm asking it here:
I'm flying tonight to Brazil with a paid ticket (not award, but don't worry I'm having it paid :))) but can't get to pre check is that standard on AA flight's?

It's because you're flying international (99% sure).
