Carol,

I've always taken the full refund when this has happened to us but we are among the early bookers so it's not usually that big a deal and we do usually have plenty of time to rebook before the prices start escalating.

I recently read somewhere - possibly here? - that someone was able to get AA to put them on another non-AA flight when their flight was cancelled. Do you know anything about this? Or is it only the case when your trip is in progress and a later leg is cancelled which I think they HAVE to do if such a flight is available.

And btw, I just checked the late November Saturday post Thanksgiving flight to SXM I was originally booked on before they cancelled it, and it still has NOT been returned to the flight schedule. I had assumed they would ultimately return it for the high season but not so far, and I keep wondering if our April flight will hold. I really do prefer AA over JB, at least going to the island, so I'm hoping it holds and doesn't get cancelled. With Easter being so very early next year I'm thinking anything's possible with them given the way they've been changing things up over the past few years. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />
