Premium Economy Flexible questions
Hi all, I'm looking at travelling ORD-DFW-ICN next year in Premium Economy, the AA site is telling me it's Premium Economy Flexible (O class on the connecting flight to DFW, P on DFW-ICN, and the same on the return), I can't really seem to find any certain information on the terms attached, just 'Changes or refunds allowed (fee may apply)'.
Is it fully refundable, or refundable minus a change fee? Also if I do need to change dates later on, will I have to pay fare difference as well or can I just change to another date? Thanks for the help, and sorry if this has been asked/answered before I couldn't manage to find anything.

But the only way to know for certain is to check the specific fare rules. You can do a dummy booking at aa.com, click through like you're going to buy the ticket, on the very last page before you click "purchase" there will be a "Detailed Fare Rules" link at the bottom. Click that, then scroll down to the penalties sections to see what fees there would be for cancellation and/or changes.

This comes up fairly often as aa.com does a not so good job of displaying fare rules and this type of thing. An ORD-ICN fare in Prem Econ that books into O/P will almost certainly have change fees associated with it. P is discount premium economy, while W is full fare premium economy.

Detailed Fare Rules The most restrictive set of fare rules applies to the entire itinerary. In addition other fare rules may apply.

Trying 'Detailed Fare Rules' gives me the following:
