What I am wondering is if I cannot get through and cancel the flight before it leaves on Sunday, how can I ever get get a credit back subject to the change fee, per the airline rules, which is all I want? Will I have to sue Amex?
I am trying to cancel a flight for Saturday night. It does NOT qualify for special handling, I will need to pay cancel fee. That's all fine, but I can't get through, and the Cathay Pacific website won't allow me to cancel because Amex is the agent on the reservation.
