Can AA do this with a reservation on hold?
I had a very long conversation with the department lead at AA about this and he told me the same thing.
He also told me that he thinks there is an ex-SEZ fare that may be similar to the ex-mpm fare. I am waiting for a price quote from BA to confirm and will report back.
I am also about to get on the phone an try my luck with QR. Any recommendations on which desk to call? Or am I just calling the U.S.A 1-800 number?
