It's over half a year later, and they still do it (of course). Was thinking maybe a formal complaint to AA or the oneworld alliance, although it's doubtful that goes anywhere. I suppose you could issue a CC charge back to force the issue. Maybe that would get the attention of someone with the ability to effect change.
One wonders where that extra money goes to. If it's IB, AA, or the airport which ends up with the $$.
