The issues are
Does the fare allow changes?
If yes -
What are the change fees?
Is there availability
If no
Then could be very problematic
The travel agent should be able to provide information about the fare rules. Being ex USA, it is likely that it allows changes but that the fee would be $250+ per person
Throughout the whole process, both AA reps and TA kept talking about date change fee and that it is OK to postpone the trip for a fee, so I believe the fare allows changes. I don't know the change fees either, but I'll ask the TA. The main problem will be availability and covering the fare difference.
