This is the most interesting one - does this mean the date/time changes that are currently free?

Changing Award Tickets
A $150 USD change fee (subject to change without notice) will apply for any confirmed change to a MileSAAver Award ticket.

* Exception: MileSAAver Award tickets for which the only confirmed change is to the date and/or time will not incur the change fee.

This change fee must be paid when your award ticket is reissued. The ticket must be reissued by an American Airlines airport or Travel Center Agent.

Changes to the award required for travel (example: changing from a P25M award to a P40R award) involve reinstatement of the original award, and a new award ticket to be issued.

I wonder about those award tickets that are in F/J but one segment is down graded a cabin class, then the F/J space becomes available later on. I've got 2 coach segments on a 15-segment biz class OW award.

I was always under the impression that changing to a more expensive award (i.e. ticketing a J award while waiting for F award inventory to open and then reticketing in F) didn't involve any change fees (assuming the routing remains the same).

Is this a change in AA's policy or am I simply mistaken?

They changed that when they made the date/time change free, didn't they?

For right now ? date/time changes on Milesaavers are still free (for now , that changed back in 2002 or so then became free again in 2004).

I remember that we used to have to pay for changes. I don't do it often, but it is one of the great features of an award tix - particularly if your preferred flight was not available when you booked but becomes available when more award inventory is released.

I didn't even notice the $15 checked bag fee. This is going to result in a lot less overhead space because everyone's going to try to carry-on.

And now nobody's gonna tip the skycaps!

How are they going to collect the $15 when a bag is gate-checked???

Gate-Checked is considered a form of carry-on and will (should) not be charged
