More to the point, if things got really nasty, AA could easily assert that OP broke the contract and that the proper fare was the best available fare at the time he broke the contract, e.g. when he no showed for the second segment.
They could assert a lot of things. And jurors could ignore those assertions and send a figurative F-you right back to AA. AA in court would be the big bad business taking on a poor victim consumer and relying on highly complicated (and likely cherry-picked) assumptions that will make average jurors heads spin or eyes glaze over. These won't wind up in court and if they did AA might very well lose despite the letter of contract law being on its side.
