Not to mention, a later segment intra Europe on BA cancelled on the same PNR. 3 clear areas where I should be entitled to a full refund.

A very rude CSR insisted that I was not entitled to a refund and basically called me dumb when I pushed back on her claims. I'm sympathetic that it's stressful times and CSR agents must be pitfully trained but incompetence and stress are not excuses for being rude.

And people wonder why AA stock is in the gutters. Issuing a chargeback (and this is an expensive booking so stupid on them).
Agree you should be due the option of a refund, though if it was me, I would probably just drive from SAN to LAX if I wanted to keep the booking and the sharklets. Presumably they'd let you do that.
