AS award travel PDX-LAX-JFK-LHR
I just booked my wife and I two F seats on AA for next june; the itinerary isnt ideal for the wife as its over 36hrs of travel PDX-SJC- overnight in LA...LAX-JFK-LHR (i dont mind it because i get to see 32B and 77W in F
). We booked it at 62.5k. My question is, if a direct LAX-LHR should open up at a later date how difficult is it to swap flights/dates? The wife will be MVPgold this year so fees arent an issue but will AS have to redeposit the miles and i have to rebook or can we just swap?

I believe change fee may still apply unless the miles were redeemed from the wifes account (if changes made while she is mvpg). I'm not 100% sure.
Either way its easy to make the change.

My wife would far prefer to pay for a nine-hour SEA-LHR nonstop in economy over a 36-hour zombie marathon zigzagging around the map in F on miles. Just saying. What surcharges did you pay on those F awards?

$36 in surcharges total. Honestly they only part that i really dont like is the PDX-LAX because it gets in around 215 the day before, so i would have to take an additional day

Remember, no change fees until 60 days before departure. So they don't have to worry about that until April.
