AA refund 737 MAX
Hi,
does anyone know if there's a way to get a refund? American Airlines reservations insisted there was no change allowed under the fare rules. I did explain that the passengers were anxious to travel on MAX and wished to travel on an earlier flight (non max)
any response greatly appreciated

I don't believe the waiver that was in place that allowed passengers to change off a 737 MAX flight for free during the first round of issues has been in effect for a while. The most recent issue doesn't impact the 737 MAX 8 since the MAX 8 doesn't have door plugs and AA doesn't have 737 MAX 9s (which do have door plugs and were the focus of the most recent issue).

A lot of AA fares do not have change fees. If domestic and non-BE, Cancel the flight, get a credit and use that to book something else.
That said, the MAX is perfectly safe. AA has been flying it for a long time now with no issues.
