Also the schedule is likely to change at least once more before you fly.
Thank you for helping out!
AA won't pay for a hotel AFAIK
From this page, AA states that "If the disruption is our fault or you're diverted to another city, and we don't board before 11:59 p.m. local time on your scheduled arrival day, we'll arrange an overnight stay or cover the cost of an approved hotel, if available. We don’t guarantee reimbursement for hotel expenses if you book directly without written authorization from American Airlines." I guess in this situtation, it's "their fault" for cancelling my flight, so I was just wondering if this would apply.
On the other hand, do you know if I can ask them to put me on any same class (business) flight departing on the same day that's still available paying with cash but not availble with award booking?
