Avoid change fees?
Hi all, I'm EXP and booked a trip about a week ago IAD-LHR-GVA / LHR-IAD in F (BA), booked via aa.com
The only reason I added the LHR-GVA leg is to reduce the price in about 1.5K, however today the price of IAD-LHR rt in F has been reduced and is the same as I paid for my original flight...
Is there a way to avoid the change fees, and ask AA to drop the LHR-GVA leg from the reservation?

Do you have status? Have you asked for a change fee waiver before?
Something tells me AA is not generous with change fee waivers. Especially when you were hidden city-ing to get a discount.
What reason would you give them to ask for a waiver of the change fee? What is the change fee on your ticket?
Maybe they will give you 50% off the change fee if you ask nicely and haven't had a discount/waiver before...
