The problem is that many AA agents are just poorly trained and/or confused by these rules, so some wrongly insist you need availabilty on the whole routing to make a change when you really don't. So you may have to HUCA.
Thanks! Funny story - I forgot about this for a few days and went to check again today and not only did DOH-CPT become available, but ALSO BOS-DOH. On consecutive days! Just two days before the date I was supposed to be in Cape Town. Pretty close to perfect result, so I was able to just book BOS-DOH-CPT for 2 ppl in J, no hassle. If the same opens up a day or 2 later I can just change, if not I can probably swing the extra two vacation days
Now I have the luxury of having to decide between BOS-DOH-CPT and JFK-AUH-JNB-CPT, QR vs EY... 75k vs 100k miles... Wrong days vs extra flight & train ride to NYC...
