Some detailed fare rules would cover the OP if the cousin was a traveling companion; I have had such tickets issued. (Yeah, I always read the detailed fare rules before buying, and choose whether I will "self-insure", purchase TC&I insurance, or upfare.)
It used to be one could go to the AA Refunds site and enter the ticket number (not merely the PNR) and review the detailed fare conditions before actually cancelling - has anyone had recent experience with this?
