American Airlines Tickets went down. :(

[funhouse8]

I purchased 6 tickets to fly into PSP and now the flights went down $50 per person. I am so sad. Do you know if there is anything I can do. I looked on their site and they talked about a ticketrollover not sure what they meant. When I caled them the office isn't opened yet. Am I out the $300 bucks because I wanted to book early?

AA will give you a refund of the difference after charging a change fee.

That's the game you play with airfare. I look at it the same was as going to the gas station. I wouldn't go back to my local gas station and ask them for the difference back if the price per gallon went down. Gas prices and airfare constantly change, thus you pay the going rate for that moment. I always set a number I can live with for airfare and buy when it gets there....... I don't look back.

Don't check the ticket prices for AA after you buy, unless you bought fully refundable tickets.

AA's change fee is $150.00 per ticket, which is stated on their website (it's hard to find), so it would cost you $900 to change your tickets to save $50 each off the original price:
