Got a notification last evening that our flights for June have changed. AA has for a while had two flights from Miami per day, leaving about 10 AM and 12:30 PM, and of course two flights on the return, 2:30 PM and about 4:15. We have a 3.5 hour drive to Miami, so we prefer the later flight from Miami. Would have preferred the earlier flight home, but they were charging close to $100 PP more for the earlier flight, so we booked the later one. Who knows why airlines do what they do, but they have cancelled the later flights so the only flight from Miami for next June is the one leaving at 10 AM. That seems like it would be too early for most people who are connecting. I will be happy to get back home earlier, but going to be cussing AA when we are getting up at 2:30 AM. to leave.
Check your flights!

It's very unusual for them to change flights from Miami, so I was very surprised to see this one. We have been taking the Miami flights nonstop to SXM for a long time, probably at least 10 years and, other than changes of a few minutes, this is the first schedule change I recall.

crsxm--I assume you're flying from somewhere in the NE, as I don't think Jet Blue has reinstated any flights from Ft. Lauderdale?

Yeah, changing the time slightly isn't a big deal. I think in my case, we could have actually cancelled because of the time change, but I didn't want to.

We tend to book early and just accept there is the possibility of many changes between booking and flying times. We usually find the better pricing to be early on and more options to book according to our personal preferences and schedules. And should the changes occur and not be what we consider doable, we cancel and rebook something that is more to our liking. Not a big deal as long as we check the reservations periodically.
Respectfully,

Pat--agreed, we very much try to book early. With us, booking nonstops from Miami, changes are very few and far between.

We book as early as possible and not just accept the changes, we expect changes. From Portland Oregon you are pretty much guaranteed changes but once we have our big seats we always seem to work out as good or even a better routing as the changes happen.
I prefer the Isle seat

We book our tickets for the Big seats with AA as soon as they come online expecting changes.

What do you think Linda, flight delay to Miami so only 55 minutes for connection to DFW but all carry on? Should there be a betting pool? Row 2

We made it, exited the airport after customs and re entered through the normal gates. About 200 degrees after the hustle and Clear certainly helped. Whew

Yikes!! Returning you to a different place than you left from? Or, changed both ways? Regardless, if you need to, you can cancel and get your money back. I would agree to wait until after the holidays, but definitely call them and get it fixed somehow. They don't want to give you your money back, so be prepared with options, in terms of days, etc.
