We have an AA HNL-DFW on our DONEx itinerary and there is no availability in A. 8 hours in domestic red-eye economy doesn't sound like great fun.

There are plenty of flights with F7 and P7 availability so can we simply put ourselves on a waitlist for such a flight? What are the odds for it clearing? (Not familiar with AA's priorities)


As AA ATW desk managed to remove the HNL-DFW from our itinerary the last time I changed dates, I am considering also the option to leave it missing from the DONEx and do the HNL-(xxx)-DFW on our own.
