New booking has us depart DFW at 7:00pm, connect in MIA (legal connection) and land GIG at 9:31am. So, that's 55 minutes earlier plus 56 minutes later for a total of 1 hour and 51 minutes difference in our schedule as well as going from direct to connection.

Will AA just let me cancel this and get the miles back for the trip? We don't want to go with a connection, just wanted the direct flight.

Thanks!
