The first week of September updated as well. My flights on 9/1 and 9/7 just changed (from mainline to Eagle, blah, though was sort of expected).

I believe there were cuts through October 6. PHX-BUR for example reduced from 5x A319s to 2x 738s, 1x A320, 1x CR9.

In early September, our BOS-JFK-FCO booking was changed to BOS-PHL-FCO a daly later. If COVID-tested flights are still the rule, the PHL flight hasn't been published as such. To stay on the original date, the only option seems to be via DFW, which doesn't have the Premium Economy that we booked. With the new booking, at least we want more than the hour to connect that they gave us. It seems that going via JFK is possible if we need to have the day delay. Can we expect that at least as we complete the weekend there can be more schedule changes and we can have better options?

I got messed over a bit, unsurprisingly. My B787 redeye in September changed to an A321. And my FF JFK-LAX in late Septmber was changed from 3:30PM to 5PM, so that I would no longer make the last connection to LAS. Therefore they moved me to the next earlier flight, which is at 12:30, to make the last available connection. Leaving 3 hours earlier so that I can have a 4 1/2 hour layover is not by idea of a good time.

Even though I arrive LAX at 3:30PM, they did not change my connection from 8:15 to an earlier 6:15. Strangely, the fares on the 6:15 LAX-LAS are $2,569 in coach and $1,431 in First. Go figure!

I think whatever changes for this batch of updates has been completed. Based on my observations last couple of months (and as many have suspected), updates occurs sometime after Sunday midnight Eastern and finishes in a couple of hours. Not sure if there will be more updates to September flights within the next two months but I wouldn't expect any more updates this weekend..

Ick. I see my SEA-DFW morning flight in October has been moved up by over 2 1/2 hours which means my separate connection on another ticket/airline isn't safe - the first flight of the day from PDX lands in SEA just as this new AA flight begins boarding. My connection to LHR has also been moved up but that isn't a problem for my BA connection. I wonder if I can talk them into letting me leave right from PDX or still leave from SEA at around my previously scheduled time but terminate in LHR (I'm okay with missing my connection) without repricing. I'll give them a call to put myself in the callback queue.

Regarding AA schedule updates -- I was looking at some AA flights yesterday from Austin to Barcelona for mid-September. My daughter and her husband booked them yesterday, and my wife and I were going to book the same flights today. But we can't find those flights anywhere (AA, Kayak, Expedia, etc.). It's as if they no longer exist. Can/should I assume those flights were eliminated as part of the schedule update? Or might they return in the next day or so?

You should have your daughter check her booking.

While unlikely, if her schedule didnt change that means the flight is full thus not showing up for you.

A whole bunch of transatlantic routes that were supposed to start in August have been pushed to an October start (or, for some, 2022), so those flights have likely been taken off the schedule.

My 9pm JFK>LAX September award flight was canceled and rebooked earlier. I was anticipating and counting on this so my party could have access to meal service instead of a snack in F. This same change happened to me in September 2018 also due to low demand.

Our SEA-PHL fight at end of September has been changed to depart 3 hours earlier. This will necessitate a hotel stay in SEA the night before the flight.

Return award flight (LHR-PHL) got moved by a few hours. No issue with this change and the change shows up online. I assume I don’t need to do anything else like get tix reissued?

Did flight number change? If not, then chances are no reissue need.

my last half sept JFK-LAX was cancelled (thankfully) so now i am LHR-JFK-SFO instead of LHR-JFK-LAX-SFO but surprised it happened so early.
