Hurricane Sandy (and post-Sandy) impacts and related issues (consolidated)
I am oneworld platinum and due to fly phl-ord (p) 10/30 and connecting with AA86 ord-lhr 18:50 (business).
I am panicking re. the weather alert, would appreciate what the experts say here. Should I reschedule for 31st and if I do, what is the phone number for aa premium desk?
Unsure what cost is if reschedule but hopefully weather will have passed and worth my peace of mind and anyone else around me.
cheers

You'll have to wait for AA to issue a weather advisory which provides a free change of flights. Any changes prior to the weather waiver will incur change fees and potential fare differences.
There is still a chance this storm will veer east and head out to sea.
Which airline issued the ticket? If it's another airline AA will not touch the ticket until the day of departure.

Uh? Do you mean Sapphire or are you an AA Platinum?
Are your travel plans that flexible? Why do you need to move the date by 6 days?

Currently, the only hurricane-related waiver between the three is on DL, for MBJ/PAP/NAS. Why does AA need to issue a travel waiver for NYC any sooner than its competition?

I've been lucky and have never not had a planned flt. actually not fly on designated day. Having read of others experience when this happens, just trying to avoid it if I can. Plus I'm a control freak.

I don't expect AA to issue anything before Saturday morning at the earliest, to be honest, if they do. Should know a lot more about its trajectory by then.

Cancelled my flights to JFK
I just cancelled my flights to JFK. My conference on Mon and Tues was cancelled. Since I was flying LAX - JFK Friday AM and coming back Oct 31 I had to cancelled. Since AA has not yet put in a plan for flights into the NYC area I have no compensation available to me.
