So what happens when you pay the extra $200, and then your flight gets cancelled (or severely delayed) and you end up on the later one anyway? Think AA will give you a refund? (This is one reason why people hate airlines...). Of course I would have screen shots of the various fares and *would* push for a credit, might even take it to small claims for giggles, but who else does that?
