I was hoping that some flat tire rule will exist w/ IB, plus the OW protection thing, but I am not holding my breadth...Last chance buy out of pocket and see if insurance will reimburse...
Will I have access to the AA rebooking desk at T3 upon arrival at T3? Or is it the way we are deplaning that prevents that?
I don't wish to rain on your parade at all, but I personally believe that there is some wishful thinking here. I can't speak for AA, but as you say, you'll be in London and under time pressure. IB almost certainly won't care about what AA's rules are. They don't have any flat tire rule and will probably tell you that you showed up at the airport too late. I don't believe they have a OW protection plan. You should check with your insurance about extent of cover, and whether it applies to separate itineraries.
