AA charging APD on UK departures AAdvantage awards for children

The UK APD ($111 at today's exchange rate) is being added onto AAdvantage awards for my kids who are under 16 and exempt. Any way to get a refund?

You might check https://www.regulations.gov/docket?D=DOT-OST-2015-0087 . I think that's the same issue, albeit a few years ago. Thought AA promised to fix it. If AA didn't fix it, you might post details here of what you figured out.

I phoned twice. First time I was told "Awards are different. If that's what the computer says it is, then that's what it is." Second time I phoned I was told "Call in after you make the booking and we *may* be able to refund the APD." Hence my posting here to see if others have experienced this and solved the problem.

Have you called Web Services, as they would be the ones to handle a technical problem with AA.com bookings?
