Yes, definitely everyone should check and double-check a reservation made pre-Irma or even POST Irma, as schedules will probably be changing many times in the next few months.

Didn't i read in another post recently, that the airlines have to grant a refund request if they significantly change flight times and stops? My outbound flight just got an extra stop over, and a 54 minute layover in PHL which requires a terminal change. Thanks for the heads up Jenni.

They’re being quite liberal with refunds of late due to all the problems across the Caribbean but my understanding is anytime they make significant changes to a reservation, such as turning a nonstop into a stopever flight or changing the times significantly as in an hour or more, they are required by law to grant a full refund back to your original form of payment. Fortunately you found out in time and shouldn’t have to scramble last minute for alternate travel arrangements. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />

The information below is an excerpt from a post on the St Barths forum, SBHOnline. Poster thomasj has done an excellent job of ferreting out flight information. American Airlines MIA - SXM: resumes Oct 4 (1 daily until Dec 15 when 2 daily resumes, note: Nov 6 flight arrives SXM one hour later) JFK - SXM: resumes Dec 15 (1 daily) PHL - SXM: resumes Dec 15 (1 daily) CLT - SXM: resumes Dec 15 (2 flights daily, 3rd flight on Saturdays) You can find the complete post, including the other airlines, at https://www.sbhonline.com/forums/showthread.php/91833 Be sure to go to the last post in the thread for the most recently posted information.

I have seen that schedule posted a couple of times, but frankly I don't see how there will be nearly enough pax to fill all those seats by December 15. And we all know that they will not fly half empty planes. They may have announced that and are selling that, but I bet half of those flights get cancelled and get changed into connecting flights.

This is the most recent AA schedule published by Carimar Beach Club located in Anguilla - this was published by their Travel Agent. Carimar Beach Club October 15 at 6:25am
ALL GUESTS PLEASE NOTE: American Airlines has CANCELED non-stop flights from JFK, PHL and CLT until April. But you can still get there with a connection in Miami.
1) From New York JFK to SXM all flights canceled until April 7 which will have service on Saturdays and Sundays only. 2) From Philadelphia PHL to SXM all flights canceled until April 4 which will have service daily except Tuesdays and Thursdays. 3) From Charlotte CLT. to SXM all flights canceled until April 3 which will have daily service. 4) From Miami MIA there is still daily service (for now).

John's refund was based on federal law. If they change your schedule 'substantially', they are required to refund your money, period. It's not a matter of whether you need to justify anything.

You need to look up the federal law that says they have to refund you the money and call them back.

As I'm sure you know, you can cancel if you want and get all your money back. Have you got somewhere to stay for sure?
That re-routing makes me doubt even more the reports that AA was going to have two flights per day through Charlotte this winter. My guess is that they will only be going nonstop from Miami for a while, and nonstop from JFK within a couple of months.

From the AA website: SCHEDULE CHANGESClick on " [b]Schedule Changes[/b]" and then the heading " AA Flights-Customer Does Not Accept New Itinerary" And another source of information if it is accurate: the Points Guy

Since there were no commercial flights flying as of October 7, Jet Blue really didn't have a choice. Regarding your return flight, check to see whether your itinerary is still the same. If the itinerary has changed, which most likely it has, you can cancel and get all your money back, hurricane or no hurricane.
