Kids loved it and they upgraded my wife and one of the kids the 1st. This year in August the difference of xmas day v the day after was close to $1kper person but we booked a Noon xmas day flight from the East Coast which allowed us to wake up at an ok time, open a few Santa presents and leave. Well, my mistake as I get changes all the time from airlines and booking excursions yesterday realized AA canceled the noon flight rebooked us on a flight at 7am on xmas morning a few months ago. No one is thrilled. I am back to lowly gold this year and they offered to refund the money and cancel the flights but we need to get there somehow. Considering a flight to the west coast on xmas eve and then overnight at DFW or LAX and take an early morning flight to OGG. Thoughts on what to do? Does AA owe us anything? They have offered nothing. Perhaps its a Boeing max issue but no one knows calling the elite line multiple times. Thanks in advance
