Plane swap bites again
 
there goes my chance to fly the 787-9F... was booked on it coming back from LAX on 1st Nov, but seems it's changed to a 744 now. Ticket is issued by AA and is an A class so not sure worth it to change/what penalties are... I suppose I don't mind the 744 it's probably my fav plane, I've been in 1A and 5K before very good seats... but would it be worth ringing up to check if i can swap to A380 or 789? Thanks!

You may actually be able to change to a different flight since the ticket was issued by AA (booked as an AA*BA flight?), and AA allows changes in the event of an equipment change.

Is there a limit on how long they'll allow this? I think it happened last month and I'm only aware of it now, and yess it's AA ticket on all BA metal except for 1 flight which is AA from LAS to LAX

No, basically up until the point of departure, but then you will face availability problems most likely if you are looking for the discounted buckets. Therefore, if you know what you would like to change to (and there is availability) I would call up AA sooner rather than later.

I haven't heard of a time limit. See AA coc here, the section under “INVOLUNTARY RTG CHANGES - 74” and under D says “SUBSTITUTES A DIFFERENT TYPE OF EQUIPMENT”, but it may only apply for AA operated flights
