For a schedule change, I believe this is the rule you're referring to. But I don't think anything will override the change in Country aspect.


American Airlines has a Schedule Change – AA Flights:
300 - Mile Radius
The 300-mile radius option may be applied if the Schedule Change results in one of the following:
 Discontinued service without an alternate protection agreement
 An extended connection time equal to/greater than 4 hours
 Invalid Connection

Note: If there is a valid connection within the same origin/destination with an arrival time within 2 hours of original ticketed schedule, 300- Mile Radius does not apply

 An involuntary connection requiring the customer to overnight on either the outbound or return segment\

The 300-mile radius option change must be made at the time of original ticket reissue.


Discontinuation of Service:
If American Airlines has an alternate protection agreement the 300-mile radius option is not allowed.
 Itinerary must contain AA Prime, AA*/US, or US Prime Space Only
 If there are no acceptable options to the customer's original ticketed destination/origin, may book AA Prime, AA*/US, or US Prime space only to an alternate AA airport, within a 300-mile radius of the originally ticketed city within the same country
 The new flight must be rescheduled for the same ticketed date of travel but may be earlier or later than the originally scheduled flight time.
 Use lowest available inventory in the same cabin as ticketed
 If unable to book in the same cabin as originally ticketed, an alternate flight must be selected.
 If the customer has chosen an alternate AA or US airport, they may use that airport for their continuing or return journey.
 This change must be made at the time of original ticket reissue.
