Partial Refund Quote
We booked LAX-JFK for the tail end of one trip in March and JFK-SJU for the opening leg of another trip in the Fall. W/ the cancellation of all AA JFK-SJUs, the only option is connecting, which the large family w/ little kids doesn't care to do. AA says if the connection doesn't work then the only option is a partial refund. Since we flew the first leg, it won't be a full refund, but AA won't quote us the amount of partial refund until they send us the check. Any suggestions on what to do? I can understand that they chose to cancel flights, but it seems unreasonable that they won't detail the options available to me to rectify the situation.

What more then taking the partial refund do you want? So a connection is out so what else can they do. Has to the amount of refund Im guessing the phone agent can't figure it out and has to be done in accounting. B6 and DL fly direct if a connections is a no go. GL

If you want to go to SJU then ask to be accommodated on DL free of charge. If you would rather abandon the trip then just take the refund, a supervisor should be able to calculate the amount and let you know

Thank You
Just wanted to say thank you to the OP and this entire forum. Just completed my first leg of my Memorial Weekend mileage run.

A few days sprinkled in the middle for R&R at the beach.
All in first/business.

Seems to be still available as I found some dates in Sept FOR $723 getting the 77W both ways LAX-MIA-LAX. Also, available midweek thru AAVacations for about $800 with a one night stand in San Juan. That should generate about 1300 EQD's.

Please post a link to GF with the dates, as I have been searching in vain to get the 777W to work with this fare. September would be great. Thanks.

just booked SJU-LAX for $365 o/w. Books into D. 77W on the MIA-LAX sector. Routings via JFK also possible.
The fare is also available for $730 r/t and you can also begin in LAX instead (LAX-SJU-LAX) if positioning to LAX is easier for folks.
Fare is available on Tues / Weds going out through the end of the year. Same day turnaround is possible. Not SUPER cheap, but... cheaper than the PTY fares right now. And MIA-SJU is only 60 miles shorter than MIA-LIR, so that's basically a push. With 7-8 daily flights between MIA and SJU, versus 2 daily flights between MIA and LIR, this may create more attractive combinations for some folks.

I had been searching for an ex MIA or ex PHL mileage (TP) run before end of September and this has worked perfectly - thanks Flyertalk ^^
I didn't know AA Vacations was in that business...

I looked at some other dates for a friend of mine who wants to do it. Plenty available for some random dates in October, so fill your boots!! Tempting myself as my earning year starts October 8th. Aha.
