Additionally, what happens if I don't cancel the ticket and don't show up? Lastly, can I book the same exact flight a day later with AA, or should I book with another airline? Last thing I want is for the actual flight I need to get cancelled.

If it helps, I'm a OW Sapphire.

Thanks for any tips.
Call in and hope for a sympathetic agent. If you are AA Platinum, that will help.
