IAD-LAX shows cancelled
I have a flight coming up in two weeks from IAD-LAX (AA252) which per the app and aa.com says nothing about being cancelled, but similar fights this week and last were listed as cancelled and I tried to do a fake booking with dates a week before and the similar non-stop flight is not available. Which makes we wonder if they will be cancelling this flight. Is this something folks see a lot of? and is there any point to calling AA to try to preempt, by re-booking, so that there is not a early AM scramble to get re-booked? What do you guys normally do in this situation.

I doubt that any AAgent would change your flight for free just because you're concerned that it might be cancelled, when the flight is still listed as scheduled.

Worth a call to the ExPlat line. It's unlikely they'll change you for free as long as the flight still shows as scheduled; however, the answer is always "no" if you don't ask.

Thanks all for the replies and I'll sit tight for another week or so to see if anything changes. I totally agree, not to change the flight until and unless the flight is indeed cancelled.
