Stuff starts happening a week or so out. But maybe a bit closer.

Coach also opens 2 close-in?

If I book before 21 days, can I change dates and times without a fee on award tickets JFK-LAX?.

If you change within 21 days of the new flight you will have to pay the $75 fee, unless you already paid it.

In other words, once you pay it, you can still change without additional fees.

1) If you cancel an award ticket, does it go back into inventory?
2) How soon?
3) Does that change if it was booked with BA?

My understanding is that there is a big YMMV with this. No guarantees

The further out the flight, the less risk IME.

Is the following a valid routing to be booked with AA:
AMM-DXB-JFK (on EY) -LAX (on AA)?

Have a quandary on behalf of a family member. Was scheduled to fly JFK-LAX on a 12.5K award ticket on Tuesday. Thought they had to be back Monday so changed to a 30K ticket, they charged her the extra miles but no fees.
Now she wants to revert to the original Tuesday ticket, but they're telling her that either it'll be $150, or the full 30K. there are 12.5K tickets available.
Any recommendations?

Since they already deducted the extra miles for the 30k ticket, they either have to pay the $150 redeposited fee or eat the difference.

Was afraid of that. Is there an option to hold that leg for some future time and book a new ticket?

thaber · « **Reply #394 on:** April 19, 2015, 02:11:50 AM »

55 min estimated hold time. WTH? Is there only one person there answering phones?

Stupid auto correct did that DXB/AUH mess up!

If I book AMM-AUH-JFK-LAX and AUH-LAX direct on EY opens up, I can change it for free, correct?

As a data point, they waived the $150, only had to pay the $5.60,without me even asking.
