I looked at it, even though I know there's no way we could go then. It's a web special and the tickets are NOT changeable. Regular frequent flyer tickets are changeable without a fee, so long as you are changing only the DATE and not the routing. Or they HAVE been in the past anyway. This is also the fare where you do NOT have an assigned seat, which I personally won't book, for a longer flight like that. I would bet you get stuck in two middle seats. 12.5 K miles each way has been a fall special on AA for several years. We were able to book last year for October for only 25K r/t, with assigned seats.

OK, I was pretty sure the details on that sale said that it was Main Cabin, which I thought that was the ones that don't have seat assignments. What I meant with regard to changes was that I have changed DATES on AA for free for years, no re-deposit fees, etc. Other airlines have charged change fees/redeposit fees/etc for several years, which has been one very good thing about AA frequent flyer tickets.

Where do you find those “web specials”? We found a very reduced flight which showed up as we checked the normal FF ticketing site. It just was there as one of several options available for the dates we wanted. It was clearly marked as a web special and all the rules and restrictions were right there, too. We picked our dates and then booked roomy seats at an extra fee but it was very worth doing. Unless we need to cancel for some reason, that is, but I knew all the rules so it’s in me should that happen.
Respectfully,

Yep, we booked round trip for two for a total of 32,000 miles! I wish there was surge pricing on first class. It is higher than ever with points. Around 50K per person one way.
