I am scheduled to fly on an award ticket, JL3 (JFK-NRT), on March 14. Is there anything I can do at this point proactively? I see some availability on JL5 on March 13 but is there a chance it will not get ticketed in time since it is the weekend and so close to departure? Thanks.

JFX WX 3/14, how bad does it look?, intl rebooking
How's the weather looking for Tuesday for an AM arrival? Does it look like operations will be shut down?
I'm on a saaveraward MLE-AUH-JFK-XXX on EY/AA.
Happy to avoid JFK, but AA won't even contact EY about changes because O class is not available. Do I really have to wait for a cancel to rebook even though AA has put out an advisory? And then won't I be stuck in AUH for days?
What's the best play here?

If this turns into a big storm, how late after it will flights be affected? Snow should stop on Tuesday night based on current models. I have a flight Wednesday MCI>LGA scheduled to arrive at 4:30 p.m. If travel gets disrupted on Tuesday, will flights Wednesday also be canceled?
The fact that AA is allowing changes for Wednesday 3/15 flights tells me there may be some disruption. I just don't know how concerned to be.

Flights are cancelled into Westchester from ORD tomorrow.
Got a notice that my itinerary was cancelled, called into EXP desk and rerouted through LGA.
EXP agent informed me that although the new ticket is less money than the original into HPN, I am not entitled to the difference.

In case of IRROPS such as flight cancellations due to weather, when AA is trying to figure out who gets a seat another flight:
Is rebooking priority based on status? Or cabin (first class vs. coach)? Or fare paid? Or some, or all of these criteria?
All other things being equal, if there are 3 seats, and 4 passengers (following), who would NOT get a seat:
* Paid FC passenger
* Status-upgrade FC passenger
* Mileage-upgrade FC passenger
* Status coach passenger
Thanks.

As per:
https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/amer...ter-thd-2.html
All four passengers would be listed as involuntary standby passengers (RI#, where # is the passenger's status-- 1 for CK to 5 for Gold, no number for no status).
Assuming both status passengers are the same status (EP), they would both be RI2, with their order within the group being based on check-in time.
Both non-status passengers would be just RI, with their order again based on check-in time.
Status-upgrade FC passenger and Status coach passenger would have top priority based on check-in time. Paid FC passenger and Mileage-upgrade FC passenger would have lowest priority again sorted by check-in time.
The person who doesn't get on the flight would therefore be the last person to check in between the Paid FC passenger and Mileage-upgrade FC passenger
I'm sure JonNYC or someone else more knowledgeable than myself will be along to tell me why this is wrong, though.

On day of travel, AApp couldn't check me in. It said I had to check in at airport. At airport they wanted to see my credit card. As it ends up, I got a $12 refund.
I'll take good news in any format or dosage.

East Coast watch. As Harvey diminishes, Irma is building. The Carolinas may be the ne t trouble spot.
