American and Delta followed United in eliminating change fees. American also announced some enhancements to Basic Economy tickets. Importantly, AA is giving "residual value". Come on United. Don't create a disincentive to buying expensive domestic RT first class fares!

American's language:

"American will also allow customers to keep the full value of their original tickets if they change their travel plans prior to the scheduled travel. Although customers will have to pay the fare difference for a new flight, customers will not lose their ticket value if the new flight is less expensive. For example, if a customer paid $500 for their flight and change to a flight that costs $300, American will give the customer a $200 voucher to use for a future trip."
