Is this doable?
It is doable. Call AA. My husband had a meeting come up in a city we were transiting through from Maui. I tried to change his leg home so he could stay overnight in Phoenix. The AA rep, because of the fare, could not change it and told me not to rebook and just buy a one way ticket from Phoenix. The fare would have been less but would have canceled his original ticket and business seat. She simply noted the reason on his account for the additional ticket. I got a ride home next to an air marshall (I think) that was very chatty for 20 minutes until he wasn't D)
