My leg 3 and leg 4 were 23 hours apart. I need legs 1-3, but leg 4 is now at a bad time for me. Nothing available on saver for leg 4, so it seems like a good idea for me to buy another 1 way to replace leg 4.
Never ditched a ticket/leg (paid or miles) before.
That's not one award, it's two: one for DFW-MIA-XXX; and another award for XXX-MIA-DFW. You are free to lop off the MIA-DFW leg by calling American and requesting same. There is no charge for doing so -- although not every AA agent is aware of that fact.
