Each time I've tried doing an earlier available longhaul Intl segment pull in I've been told the entire ticket will need to be re-fared??
Tried going on the earlier LHR-ORD 4 weeks ago and this week SDC NRT-DFW-LAX vs. NRT-LAX and was told "no can do" - it would be a full refare. Hoping the US policy goes to AA to allow SDC on Intl flights.
That's consistent with my experience on intl AA flights, e.g., ex-FRA.
