Multiple Bookings - Similar Times
Hi there - I searched and could not find a clear answer on this.
I have a 2-leg flight booked (AUS-ORD-DTW) with a day stopover in ORD.
It turns out I am not going to need the ORD-DTW leg now. However, if I change this flight online (AUS-ORD-AUS), it runs $750 including the change fee. If I book a simple one way ORD-AUS, it's $450-ish, however the flight would be around the same time as the original ORD-DTW flight (within 30 minutes of each other).
Will the AA system flag this and possibly cancel the new ORD-AUS one way? Can I tell them I'm not going to fly the ORD-DTW leg and have them cancel it? (Didn't see a way to do this online and normally when I do something like this they want to reprice everything at the current rates).
Thanks for the advice and hello again FT after about a year away...
