    • Changes to itineraries for 3 or more hours (domestic) / 4 or more hours (international)
    • Changes in origination / destination airports
    • Downgrades to a lower cabin – refunds are issued at 40% of the ticketed fare on the affected segment
This gives me a strong reason not to fly American lin J Tatl or TPAC if there are good alternatives
