This is sort of a follow-up question to my previous one in this thread. I have a sAAver award flight on hold where the first leg is in economy (SLC to DFW) and then the next is in business (DFW to LHR).
There is a flight earlier in the day from SLC to DFW that is business class also at the sAAver award level. However, there is no more availability in business from DFW to LHR, so I don't want to cancel my hold and hope they realign to snag before someone else does.
Can I call American for help booking the earlier flight in business and combining it with my hold? Will I be charged a phone fee for this? Is there a better way to handle this?
