I'm not sure if I understand you... Do you mean ask them to turn a full fare seat into a discount one?
Alternately, is there anything keeping you re-routing NRT-HKG-SFO on Cathay instead of taking the AA flight? There will be a change fee of USD125. That assumes Cathay has seats, of course.
We've come from HKG, so I can't double back on myself.
Viajero, AA's site says there are some seats available ... NRT-DFW-SFO, NRT-LAX-SFO, NRT-SJC-SNA-SFO?
Thanks a million, both of you, for your help.
