Speaking of which....
Has anyone experienced using the AA rtw desk to reticket (re-route) after departure without a change in which continents are touched but when a big base far hike has occurred vs the price you paid (such as the current situation in Cairo)? If so, roughly when and how did it go?
Two of the best AA rtw desk staff are telling me given the unusual fare situation ex CAI, they expect reticketing after departure on a a Cathay governed itinerary to include an uplift to reflect the base fare hike.
I know I don't want to fly this itinerary as is (though it's not terrible, mostly I was short on time and only put 14 segments in when on the phone as I expected to reticket later). I'm trying to decide if I need to cancel/refund before flying the first segment...
