$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

Worked perfect. (And they're much nicer than the people at the US call center.) Thanks!
No kidding. Sure worth the few cents to make the call.

To cancel - a couple minutes before take off
To redeposit - a year from date of original ticketing.

Perfect.  Thank you.

Is YQ/taxes on HKG-JFK in J supposed to be ~$50pp ($77.60 Australian Dollars)? Was under the impression that it was less but that's what the rep told me when I put the res on hold today.

I thought I was quoted ~$14.xx yesterday.

I asked if he was including over the phone booking fee and he said no... Still on hold so I'll ask again when I call to get it ticketed.

Should I be able to ticket 2 pax separately (on the same PNR), each paying from his own aadvantage account?

According to what the rep told me today, nope. If you need two separate accounts for points, then two PNRs.

That's what they told me as well, but I was hoping that wouldn't be the case. It'd be a lot easier to have it on the same PNR for cancellation purposes.

Yup, and cheaper. But I've booked through AA several times and always the same answer so seems like that's the rule.

It's always checkable on BA or calculable on ITA
