Award Travel on Mixed BA/AA Refund/Cancel Policy
I have an award reservation on hold for NCE-LHR in Business on BA connecting to LHR-DFW on AA in Premium Economy. The fare rules state:
CHANGES REQUIRE A REINSTATE/CLAIM AND UNLESS AN EXCEPTION IS LISTED REINSTATEMENT CHARGES MAY APPLY
What does this mean? Does the AA policy for cancelling award tickets and redepositing miles without a fee/charge apply to this ticket or not?
CHANGES REQUIRE A REINSTATE/CLAIM AND UNLESS AN EXCEPTION IS LISTED REINSTATEMENT CHARGES MAY APPLY
What does this mean? Does the AA policy for cancelling award tickets and redepositing miles without a fee/charge apply to this ticket or not?

ALL awards booked with AA miles can be cancelled for no fee for a full refund of miles and taxes/fees. You just have to cancel before the scheduled departure time of the first flight.

Cancel/reinstate for no fee… but no changes allowed after booking, only cancelling and then rebooking a brand new ticket.

Thanks in advance from a "usually *A guy"
Thanks everyone, does this include ALL fees (British Govt premium cabin "departure tax", fuel surcharges etc., etc.)?
I am looking at a first class award ticket on BA LHR-LAX using AA miles that I may need to subsequently cancel (before departure of course).
Would I get miles and all $$ back?
