$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

AA new search engine that shows PE fares now has searchable calendar that shows lowest fare for each class of service for the entire month.

Which credit card points transfer to AA?

 Is there a way to upgrade points “web special” bookings to business?

Cle to Mia is showing 125k roundtrip for the end of January. Is this a glitch, or just the new pricing?

Alol, just realized it's Superbowl weekend in Miami. Still insane, but at least I can breathe easy knowing AA disaadvaantaage will probably only raise mileage requirements incrementally.

Will I get free bags for US to CAN award flight "Web Special - Main Cabin - Only on aa.com"
Also have Barclays and Citi AA cards that give free bags only on domestic flights
Common sense is not a gift, it is a punishment.

I'm booking a First Class Domestic AA ticket, I can either book a First/Bussiness AAnytime award or First Class via AmexTravel for the same amount of points, any pros and cons when it comes to cancelling or making changes to the ticket?
