Gatting complete fare details from AA ticket receipt
When you book a ticket with AA and get a ticket confirmation by e-mail, it generally states the base fare. total taxes and carrier imposed fees.
How can I get a complete fare breakdown (fare ladder?) showing each individual tax or fee, e.g. YQ, security fees, foreign airport fees and the entire long list of fees (airline + US + foreign fees) that you have to pay for an international ticket nowadays.
When United sends a ticket confirmation this entire information is available, but not so with AA. So how can one get this info?
I tried calling the EXP desk and after speaking to two idiots, the third person, a nice lady actually, promised to send me the full details. What did I get? The original ticket confirmation mail with no further details.

As you're booking, you can view and copy or print the Detailed Fare Rules. Once you haven't done that, you can approximated by going to Refunds and going through the refunds process short of requesting the refund to determine the cancellation / change fees.
I'm not sure there's another way other than calling and getting an agent who is smarter than a sack of walnuts.

As noted in another thread, you can add/link your itinerary via the PNR# to TripCase, and then go to Documents to view eTicket receipt, where fare/fees/taxes are broken down.
I know it works for international trips (I see mine), but not sure if it will work for domestic.

During the booking process, after you select the flights, there's a link to "Price and Tax Information" on the right side. That will bring up the full breakdown.
Not sure about the TripCase. (And I guess it's possible the "refunds" route could bring this up as well, but I don't have any AA bookings now to check
).Here's a random example:

It doesn't sound like OP is asking about fare rules, but rather taxes and carrier charges paid as part of the ticket.
