  • Close that tab

Great summary! ^

Unfortunately, most of the web sites are not designed for tabbed browsing. They only recognize one session from your computer. Therefore, when you click on cancel in step 9, it cancels the most recent itinerary opened in step 6. From AA computer record, you did cancel yourself.

If you must access the same web site using another screeen, you should use a different browser. I use both IE and FF precisely for this purpose. This doesn't help you now but hope it will help in the future.
