There are just fewer flights.

I am. Afraid that they put a note down, once u try changing something and when you call again a different agent he knows that you tried before. Happened to me very frustrated with a different situation.
So bummed here.
Morocco has extended the ban to at least 1/31/22.

A quick Google news search will give you plenty of sources - also see #478:

I think you're probably better off just trying to start from MAD.

AGP may be 300mi from CMN, but AGP is in Spain and CMN is in Morocco, so they don't fall under the "alternative departure point within 300mi and in the same country" rule. You might get someone to rebook you - if you're lucky - but it seems easier to position to MAD vs. AGP.

thanks Coleslaw... but how..? haha. its another country, as well--

I just called the German hotline this am.. and the spoke to revenue management.. and dinied anything cuz "its a cheap ticket"..

So to start in MAD is repositioning as well.. even though they just canceled the leg.

I will try to call AA in the US again in the new year.. Im just afraid they already "flagged" the ticket

Oh, I'm not saying it'll be any easier to leave from MAD. Just that if you're going to try to "bend the rules" then you may as well make it easier for them by keeping the same routing rather than adding a whole new city into the mix. I would think the chances of success are low either way.

I called 800.848.4653, the AAdvantage Gold number I think, to get CMN-MAD dropped from my itinerary after it was cancelled.

The agent put me on hold to get supervisor approval, which didn't take long. The agent said it was an easier approval because MAD was already part of the itinerary.

according to the US Embassy in Morocco all passenger flights in and out have been canceled:

I suppose in theory, if it were to take off, I could fly to Gibraltar, ferry to Tangier, and then drive to Casablanca to catch the flight. Americans are not banned from Morocco-there’s just no flights….

It then goes on to list (some of) the exceptions...

The reality is that QR are still flying to and from CMN (even today). They've been selling tickets for the last few weeks at least and continue to sell tickets for January. I would be surprised if they cancel their flights.

The cost of the ticket has no bearing on the fare rules and the AA COCs. Just because it was on sale doesn’t mean they have to treat you any different. Call again.

The rules get applied very inconsistently. The amount of HUCA needed is crazy.

Oh for a world where passengers can actually self service online.
