$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'm having the same issue with HEL a few weeks later. A ton of availability online but nothing is really open.

AA. maybe I missed the 45k tier, but I was wondering if there's a way to predict if those rates will change

It took me an hour and a half to make a flight change last week. It took under five minutes of actual time talking to a rep.
