Let's say I have this itinerary on AA:
OKC-DFW-MIA-GRU
If the DFW-MIA is delayed excessively, causing you to miss your MIA-GRU flight, would AA make you pay extra to be booked on the next MIA-GRU flight? If so, how much extra? If the next flight was next day, would they pay for your hotel room?
OK, let's say in Brazil I have this itinerary back home:
IGU-GRU on TAM airlines, connecting to GRU-DFW-OKC on AA. What if the TAM flight is excessively delayed, causing me to miss my GRU-DFW flight on AA? Would AA make you pay extra to be booked on the next GRU-DFW flight? If so, how much? Would they pay for my hotel room in Sao Paulo if the next flight was the next day?
I don't have frequent flyer status (only about 13,000 AAdvantage points lifetime), and I would be buying coach tickets the whole way.
I ask partly because of this story, where a woman arrived at the airport more than 2 hours early for an international flight, missed her AA flight due to the check-in line being too long, and AA charged her $2600 to get on the next flight (to be fair, AA made up for it by sending her a voucher for $2600):
