$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

If I hold two similar itineraries will I be able to mix them up if I decide I want the the short hauls on itinerary A and the long haul of itinerary B?

What's done is done, but could have looked for a car rental from someone and tried to apply that.
FWIU it reinstates from the date of the rental and he would therefore need receipts from '09 till now without any 18 month gap
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

No. They offer a 24 hour hold instead.

True.  But can book through OTA for free cancellation.

I think it's federally regulated that they have to, I could be totally wrong.

You are. It's either/or. And then only before 7 days.

I love that AJK had to say that you are wrong, and couldn't just explain why you are wrong. Classic AJK.  :P

Dan said in his post the other day that the AA sAAver space issue has been fixed. But when I look for  flights from YYZ to either LAX, MIA, ORD or NYC (all direct) barely anything shows up even during a non-busy season in months from now. Anyone else having this issue, or maybe it is a YYZ thing?

Hope this is the right place... Anyways, just returned from ANU, and booked 1 OW for myself with AA miles, and 1 OW on AA metal with AS miles for my DW. I know priority access on AA metal is only for domestic flights; DW received priority on her boarding pass (she has Aviator red and Citi AA Gold CCs)--not complaining, but just curious, any idea why?

Why is AA charging 102K for QF F and AA F same day DXB-LHR-NYC? With multi city.

I could only get AA F by doing multi City, OW search doesn't pull up QF F - AA F combination
