I've suggested she and her friend look to rebook, but don't seem to be getting traction there.

Thanks.

Mods: Not sure whether this should be in an AA forum or another forum. Feel free to move if I got it wrong.
If the delay is due to weather, AA is not obligated to provide overnight accommodations on this itinerary. An exception would be if the flight to ORD got diverted, and then cancelled after reaching the diversion airport.

Some credit cards provide trip-delay coverage, which would pay for overnight lodging if a connection were missed, and the airline refused to provide accommodations.
