Rediculous outcome. I have tickets for 5 in business class PEN-YVR and the fare rules prohibit stopovers. Of course in the almost a year since issue, AA, AS, CX and KA have all had multiple schedule changes. Guess what, we have two 24+ hour stopovers now and I have NEVER touched the tickets. These are simply the result of AA shuffling us and reissuing the tickets on their own. As much as the DOT will not help you with much these days, I think this type of conduct is something you may get a sympathetic ear from them on.
