My partner and I separately booked the same round-trip flights directly via the American Airlines website. When we booked, both the departing and return flights had a layover in an international city, with Cathay Pacific flights between the layover city and our final destination.

A couple weeks after booking, we noticed on the AA site that our “Round Trip” itinerary is now listed as “Multiple Destination,” the second leg of our departing trip (a Cathay Pacific flight) having disappeared from both of our reservations, so it appears that our departing flight is just a non-stop to the layover city.

The thing is, this error actually works out really well for us, as we want to spend time in the city where our “layover” is anyways. However, we’re concerned that because this is on a departing leg, if the error is somehow resolved, American will cancel our return flights.

We printed new receipts/updated email confirmations showing this new “multiple destination” itinerary, but we’re unsure if they’ll hold up.

Anyone experience anything similar? Worth risking it?
