With hindsight, I should have wondered why it was offering me to fly into LCY. serves me right for booking AF though...

Classic!

Slightly OT: Do US airlines (particularly AA) still allow change of airport free of charge if travel to/from NYC (JFK, LGA, EWR, HPN) on an discounted domestic F ticket?
