This is not true. I recently bought tickets on AA.com and realized 20 minutes later that the return date was wrong. I called AA and they said that it was impossible to change the tickets AT ANY COST until I received them in the mail. They said that while there was availability at the same fare the next day, they said it was likely that this would change when I received the tickets. They also said that should I succeed in changing them, I would have to travel to the airport to get the tickets physically reissued.
What AA flights have paper tickets?
