Hi everyone,

I booked a multi city ticket on AA: AAA-BBB-CCC to maximize EQM earning.
Months later AA changed it to a more direct routing AAA-DDD-CCC, but original flights AAA-BBB and BBB-CCC are still available.
The more direct routing also involves a departure schedule change of more than 4 hours.

Did I violate any AA fare rules by buying this multi city ticket that goes south (BBB) before heading north (CCC) ?

cheers,
