How much to change date on e-ticket?
I had 2 American airlines vouchers that I had, from last year. They were due to expire so I booked a trip to NYC in december. However, I may want to change the dates to a later date or even bring it forward to october/november. Is there a fee for this?
Also I plan to fly to las vegas and would like to change the destination too, if there is one fixed fee, rather than having to book another return flight to NYC from vegas/LA
I hope you guys can give me some advice!!

Welcome to FT kkhimji2001
How much it will cost to change dates and destinations all depends on what sort of ticket you have.
If you have a One World Explorer ticket, then people in this forum can advise you
For other types of ticket, I suggest the people in the American Airlines forum will be the ones to ask for help

I'm assuming the American airlines vouchers were monetary vouchers and were how you paid. In which case it's as if you paid cash and it doesn't effect how you can or can't change the ticket.
If you bought a cheap return ticket then you're probably stuck. Only AA's more expensive tickets tend to be refundable or changeable. Your ticket conditions should have been provided. It can be a bit confusing but without them it's not possible to say what you can/can't do. If you can't understand them, call AA - or perhaps post the conditions quoted to the AA forum.

I think the AA forum is probably better for this - did an RBP a long time ago, but I guess Kiwi Flyer is busy.....

on the email of the e-ticket it states:
You have purchased a NON-REFUNDABLE fare. The itinerary must be canceled before the ticketed departure time of the first unused coupon, or the ticket has no value. If the fare allows changes, a fee may be assessed for changes and restrictions may apply.
Electronic tickets are NOT TRANSFERABLE. Tickets with nonrestrictive fares are valid for one year from original date of issue. If you have questions regarding our refund policy, please visit www.aa.com/refunds.
To change your reservation, please call 1-800-433-7300 and refer to your record locator.
They also missed out one letter from my middle name on the e-ticket, so it doesnt match my passport name, will that matter?
