I figured instead that I'd go somewhere else (SAN springs to mind) but I'm wondering what my best option to avoid the $75 change fee is? Start at RTW desk? Exec Plat desk? Anyone got experience with negotiating this sort of thing?

Thanks for any advice,

Definitely start with the AA RTW desk. If it's a confirmed segment I would certainly argue they shouldn't charge you a reissue fee for the change the carrier initiated.

Otherwise you might go ORD-SEA and drive up; 3 hours from SEA to Vancouver, or else ride on the Alaska/Horizon hop. Or visit our fair city instead; see www.bumbershoot.org for happenings that weekend.
