So any time I actually look at BE style fares on any airline, I carefully evaluate the rules... and in the end don't book it. Which is what the airlines apparently want anyway.
But for passengers with AAdvantage or other oneworld status (like the OP, but not his daughter), most of the BE restrictions disappear.
