canceling JAL flight booked via BA to book instead via AA
I booked a while ago (before they became available in AA) using BA DFW to HND for 62000 avios + $283USD
There's one seat available via AA for 50k + $5.60 USD
Do you think I can book via AA before canceling the BA one? The only reason is to save $. After cancelation fee, I guess I would save about $228 USD and use 50k AA instead of 62k avios
is there a risk if I book with AA before I cancel BA? the risk of canceling BA before booking AA is that it may disappear (though I guess I can put a hold)

Where would the duplicate booking be from AA's perspective? The original booking was on JL using BA Avios.

yeah, it is a JAL duplicate booking rather than AA. I ended up booking with Alaska as I didnt' have enough AA available (also messing with some bookings with AA, so they are being used up). As soon as Alaska went through, I canceled the BA one.
