They did for me. I held some this morning at 08:20 so i could confirm my dates, and got in just before the fare was pulled. The reservation page said I had to call to purchase and ticket, so I called them at about 9:45 and after 20 minutes on hold (while the agent was on hold with the tariff department - i think they were trying to charge me GBP but failed), they did charge me the correct amount in EURO, and it ticketed quickly.

I'm new to flyertalk. Hope this is the right forum to post this question. In regards to the CDG sale- I'm trying to shift my departure date one day later from what I originally booked. When I've called up AA, they said change fee will be $300 plus difference in fare which is about $3000. Am I out of options unless I pay this small fortune?

I wouldn't count on that at international stations. They're very strict, especially at stations with contracted staff. They also run into risk of business class being sold out and be put in coach.

Appreciate the feedback from all. Looks like I'll have to figure out how to get myself on this flight and in the meantime hope there's an equipment change to the retrofitted 777-200, which is probably just as likely as a schedule change.

They do come back... randomly and maybe not for the same time. Assuming AA put enough butts in seats, it will not come back for these dates. Best to think ahead of time and pull the trigger as soon as possible.

Cheers, I have a pretty flexible schedule so that shouldn't be a problem.
