I noticed some "C" space on another flight, called AA EXP desk, talked to 3 different agents, 2 of them not helpful.
The 3rd agent said they would need to cancel the JFK-MIA flight altogether, then it would take 24 to 48h for the SWU to become "available" again.
Is that the correct process?
Or another HUCA?
HUCA. It should be possible to just change your JFK-MIA to JFK-XXX and have the SWU carryover.
