If I skip the segment SNA->SFO (Skywest), does someone thinks that American will cancel the rest of my trip?
Thanks,
I have been told in the past that awards work as two one way tickets. If I were you, I would call in and try to split the itinerary into two separate ones (with separate PNRs) - need to find a good reason for the agent to do it though. Then skipping the last leg shouldn't have any effects on your return itinerary. Otherwise, doing what the others are suggesting (ask to drop the last leg over the phone) might be the way to go. In any case I wouldn't just skip a middle leg in a round trip itinerary.
