Is different day flight change possible?
I am currently status ExP in AA. I have a trip CUN-MIA-SJU ticketed O in May.
The 2nd leg is one day after I arrive MIA. I wonder if I can fly out as soon as there is vacant on the MIA-SJU route. I understand SDFC has to be "Same Day" but I still want to know any possibility.
Thanks in advance.

1. No as SDFC
2. Possible as standby depending on agent, and available seats
I assume you would not be checking luggage as that would be a problem
3. Pay change fee and fare difference

Unless I'm missing something, since the OP is flying from an international location without pre-clearance, he or she will have to pick up checked luggage at MIA anyway. I would suggest asking the agent at the baggage recheck desk or taking your bags to the general check-in desk and asking there. I have had luck with this before (had a LIR-MIA-LAX(overnight)-SFO ticket and upon arrival was able to get the check-in agent to put me on MIA-SFO direct).
