As it's more than 2 weeks out and is a considerable change, is there scope for claiming the cost of the additional hotel (claim it post trip)? Or will BA push back on it as 1) it's >2 weeks out 2) AA issued the ticket?

I know AA schedules can change quite a bit, so it would also mean booking a more expensive flexible hotel in case things change again and then it means not being able to use the hotel that we're going to have to book (which we'd likely do in BOS).
