Bran,

We were booked into our regional airport, an easy 25 minutes from home and allowing us to avoid the greater NYC airports and the hour to hour and a half ride it typically takes to utilize them. We are booked on FF tix and I know AA will reinstate the miles and upgraded seat costs but that’s really not the issue for us. There are no other flights into HPN that night so we are forced into either over-nighting in CLT or rebooking on another airline. Sounds like JB it is but with their new fare structure our frequent flyer tix with them still end up being a more expensive option than the AA ff tix were.

For now I think I’ll just sit tight and wait until the holidays are over. I can’t believe AA will stand with those current schedule changes but knowing they often do whacky things, nothing will surprise me.
