$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

 IME they make you CANCEL the whole trip, then rebook. So you pay the one way fare, AND there needs to still ne availability....

Couple of questions here:

1. AA Advantage agent claims that CitiBiz Plat Select AA card benefit of "First checked bag free on domestic American Airlines itineraries for you and up to 4 travel companions on the same reservation" includes flights to Canada (as long as I'm on the reservation with my AA Advantage regardless of how flight is paid for).
Can anyone confirm that it includes Canada?

2. If I cancel AA Award flights, will I be refunded miles and taxes? taxes are almost $55 per ticket when leaving Canada...

With regards to question #2: yes you will get the taxes back too

with regard to question #1 I can confirm that when I redeemed economy web special award flights to and from Canada (YYZ) it shows "1st bag free" which actually confuses me since I have 8 people on the itinerary and I though the CitiBiz Plat Select card only offers "for you and up to 4 travel companions"

It can be done at the airport day of flight.  I upgraded JFK-TLV basic economy (error fare) to premium economy (they only allow a one class upgrade) for cash at the gate.  It was pretty reasonable too, only about $250 if I recall.  I even got the EQD/EQM for the segment.

Yes, it should've extended your expiration date by 24 months

Any way to combine an AA award ticket with a paid Elal leg onto one PNR to protect in case of delays?

A: no.
B: even if it was on the same PNR, nothing would be protected since separate tickets and LY is not part of One World (also luggage likely wouldn't be checked through).

Thanks for replying! That's what I thought...
