There shouldn't be a $200 per ticket change fee, unless you're booking through a travel agent who charges it regardless. If you want to have AA do it directly, just make sure to mention the actual word upfare...I believe there is actually an upfare code that they put into the system when re-issuing the ticket that should waive the change fee. Travel agents should be able to do this, as well in SABRE.

You can also call Reservations and request a fare in a particular fare bucket.
