That looks correct, doesn't matter what stock the ticket is on, just the flight number.

So what you're saying is all tickets less than $200 are always worthless if cancelled, correct?

Yes, they are worthless as you would need to pay $200 + fare difference ( if applicable ) to reactivate that ticket on a future flight.
Unfortunately, this is the situation for all the US3 ( $200 ) + Alaska ( $125 - far better ). JetBlue is the only carrier that has a logical cancellation policy.

I would not make a blanket statement that any ticket below $200 is worthless if cancelled, all depends on the specific fare booked and specific change fee. You just need to call AA to check on any residual value, no on here will be able to tell you for sure.

Bag check allowance?
 

Currently am AA Gold.
I have purchased a ticket through Iberia from MIA to CDG. The flights fly through PHL and DFW on return, both operated by AA. The Iberia flights also look to be operated by AA.
Will I be able to get free bag check through GOLD status?

On a side note, the PHL-CDG route, will that earn mileage per the Iberia (partner) table or AA table?

You will get free checked bag, priority etc
mid you ticket is marketed by Iberia (has IB flight number) you will earn per IB table.

Standby/SDFC update
 

There was a schedule change just 4 days after booking this. Good call. AA eliminated their afternoon DFW>YVR. Was able to change to a 1 stop itinerary, reasonable 70 minute connection time. Thanks

Maybe I looked young that day haha

Hello everyone :)

I'm a BA gold member and a couple of points shorts of hitting my next milestone before my year ends.

I would like to book a round-trip ticket from NYC to LAX or similar, flying in first class on a plane with three cabins to ensure I get the 210 TP per flight as opposed to only 140.

what's the simplest way to book the correct ticket and fare code to ensure that I am flying with a plane that will give me true first class not "domestic first", which BA calculates as business?

Thank you!

Thanks!

Hi, Can anyone tell me where I might find a thread for people who have expiring SWUs and are looking to donate them? Is that even a thing that happens? I have a flight to Shanghai coming up and would like to see if I can acquire 2. Thanks.

All of the nonstops, and only the nonstops, from JFK-LAX and JFK-SFO offer 3 class service, so just make sure you book one of those. And obviously make sure you book first class (F, A) and not business class (J, D, R, I).

If you search a JFK-LAX roundtrip at aa.com you can see the three class flights, with Business and First class easily spelled out.

A search of "expiring SWU" quickly brought it up.

Just a reminder that it's against the rules to solicit SWUs, however if someone offers then you can of course respond.

Also, AA has changed the rules this year to allow members to use expiring SWUs on flights past the expiration date, as long as there's confirmable space at booking. So I suspect there will be a lot less activity on there this year compared to years past.

I booked two tickets for travel yesterday (Nov. 18) for travel today (Nov. 19), and did not note down the PNRs thinking that I would receive a confirmation email shortly. However, I did not. It's been 14 hours since I booked.

I'm sure the ticket was booked though, as my browser history shows two visits to "Finish Page" and "Details of your Trip". The charge also reflects as Pending on my Amex and I've phoned reservations who were unable to locate any passengers traveling by my name. If the charges were posted, I would be able to pull the ticket number through Amex, but no luck yet. So now I am without the PNRs and unable to be sure if my tickets were ticketed.

Any advice on what I can do?

As long as you are the passenger then at aa.com you can search for reservations using only your name, flight number, and date. However if you called AA and they didn't see you as booked on the flight, then that would lead me to believe that something messed up with it. Even if your ticket is pending (or on hold, etc.) a reservations agent can still see your booking and itinerary, etc.

Not sure if I see the Name, Flight Number, Date option on website. That's what I suspected since the agents couldn't locate it. Given that the first flight is 2 hours away, probably planning on not showing up at the airport and disputing the charges later.
