So I quickly called AA and moved the flight to another day knowing I will use it in the future, so I rebooked the ticket at an approximate time I may or may not use on that day. More than likely I will need to change the date again. So...
How many times can I change an F fare on AA? How many times can I check-in, use the lounge, and not fly before the airline penalizes me? Will there ever be a case where the airline will not refund the ticket? Or blacklists me?
FT rules prevent discussing how to violate airline policies. The airline has a clear policy of using tickets, without the intention of flying, to gain access to lounges.
While it is normal to make changes to reservation, it would be a bit abnormal to be changing it multiple times after going to the airport and using the lounges.
Or is there some other purpose for this query?
