I searched, but I didn't see an answer. My flight from YVR to DFW was canceled for mechanical problems. We were a party of 3 with 5 checked bags (we were skiing). My hubby and I are both gold for life, so we don't pay for bags. (yet)

Since the flight was canceled, they rerouted us through SFO, with the first leg on United. We had to pay 155.00 to check our bags. The agent at the AA counter who made the change told us AA would reimburse us for the bag charges.

Is this true? And...how woud you suggest going about getting the reimbursement? I saved our receipt from UA. (We should have asked him how, but we were now leaving earlier and had to hussle down to the United counter. )

Thanks!
