Sounds good, but it is American Airlines, which lived by alternative facts even before the outgoing Administration “invented” them. I’ll wait and see how a few play-bookings seem to work. Details of compensation for taxes and ancillary fees will clearly be important, and it’s a mystery why they weren’t so much as mentioned.

I think it was haphazard but I was not charged redeposit fees when canceling a flight I had scheduled for next month. I canceled back in June when the cruise associated with the flight was canceled.

Am I missing it, or it does not say anything about how they are going to handle $$ portion of the award booking? I.e. fees and taxes.. obviously I would not worry about $5.60 per leg locally, but for international travel fees could be a substantial portion of the ticket. Are those fees will be refunded (as is the case with SW), or not? The statement references only “no fees to redeposit miles”. A clarification would be very helpful.

Do these new rules apply for partner award bookings (namely Alaska) with AA miles?

Gotta give props to AA here…United on the other hand sucks.

Every time someone mentions United it’s about how they found another way to suck.

Looks good on paper, but doesn’t that mean award space will become even harder to find once things return to some kind of normal?

Nah, they’ll just copy (*pulls paper out of a hat*) United and rise the award price close to departure.
