On my original booking, I was supposed to arrive in SFO around 11 AM, but with the latest change, I now arrive at 8 PM. Because of these repeated schedule changes, I was wondering if anyone has had success asking AA to change the arrival from SFO to LAX instead.

I’ll be traveling with my two kids, so I’m just trying to make the trip smoother for us. Any advice or past experiences would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks so much!
Two questions: 1) Have you accepted any or all of the schedule changes proposed by AA along the way? and 2) Are you trying to change one ticket (yourself) or three tickets (yourself and your two children)?
