$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

Not gonna happen considering this isn't IRROPS.

Ok didn't call in yet, cuz want to see first if I want to change the date or cancel award altogether cuz of time.

2 questions:
1. If I book from a-b on can I change it a-c?
2. Can I cancel online and miles will be returned instantly?
If u work for a living, why kill urself working?

Hi All

I booked an AA award ticket from OGG to JFK. Only availability was with 2 stop overs one in LAX and one in MIA. What is the best way to get AA to change it to maybe just have one stop over?  (Its long enough to fly from Hawaii to NY without stopovers now stopping off in LAX and than MIA is really out of the way)
 
Thanks

You can change it for free as long you don't change the origin and destination.

The problem is that on aa.com there is no more availabilty for that awared price. Is there any other options for me to at least get them to somehow switch it maybe one stopover?

thanks

You can call to see if there's availability that's not showing up online, but you likely won't get very far.  Your best bet is to keep checking at least once a day-- availability can open up last minute.

Is this a Legal 1 single award  for a business class award for 30K AA provided it is available on BA and QF websites?:

BKK>SIN   CX J or MH BKK>KUL>SIN
SIN>DOH  QR J (787)
DOH>DXB QR J

Should be fine, SIN-DOH is now on QR 350 not 787 IIRC.
