$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

Tried asking AA but not getting a straight answer. Anyone know if I use AA miles to book a Jetblue flight now, if I need to cancel the flight once the relationship terminates if the miles will redeposit properly?

1. I’m booking a ticket for DW from my AAdvantage account. Both of us are primary Barclays Aviator cardholders. Will she get free checked bags or does she have to book from her account for that?
2. If she does get bags, would the same work if booked with BA Avios (adding her AAdvantage # after ticketing)?

Is it possible to upgrade an international award flight on AA metal booked through AA using miles?
120 characters? Hmm, I wonder what I could write with 64 characters. Boy, it's gonna be hard to use up 15 characters. W-

You can't use a swu or mua on an award ticket. You can cancel/rebook to the higher class if available for the current price. If upgrade offers show up in app ...

If an AA flight is not available on BA but available on Qantas will it also be available on Etihad? Or do they go by Avios availability
