Called AA to get credit for my fare that dropped....

So I had booked last week since I was getting nervous, and thought 175 R/T was a good deal (This is for an AM departure from LGA on 10/20 and a PM arrival back at LGA on 10/24).

Today, with all of Song and JetBlue's prices dropping, I guess American had to follow as well, and I noticed that my flight went down about 12/13 dollars a person. So I called to get a credit and the woman (who really wasn't that friendly... just my 2 cents ) somehow didn't see what I saw, but after awhile and a long time on hold did. So then she went to fix my reservation and came back and told me she found a better rate (I guess around 115 per person) so I am getting two $60 vouchers!

I would have loved $120 back to my credit card, but this will do...

However, I don't see this rate anywhere on the website, and was worried that I didn't get any sort of confirmation number. She said it was not necessary and that I should get the vouchers in 2-3 weeks.

Hopefully everything goes well, and hopefully this rate will be available for anyone else looking for October flights.... thanks for letting me share.

Same thing just happened to me!

I've got a $20 credit with JetBlue!

I bought tickets on Jetblue several months ago for about 79 each way, now I see they are 49 each way (from Boston)
Can I call them, and they might give me credit?

I just called Jetblue and they gave me a $108 credit for my next flight!
Thanks for the info!

I guess I will have to keep watching the AA site and checking prices. We just booked 5 tickets with them today for $178. If I see it go down, I guess I will call. I am coming from DFW, and this is a pretty good rate. It was $152 over the holiday weekend. Too bad my flight dates were not available then.

Did you book online or over the phone?


**You know, when I called this morning to book my tickets, the guy I spoke to was not very nice either. He even tried to tell me that I could not book my flight because it is too far out. I said, "Yes you can, check your computer. I am calling 331 days before my return date and you sure can book it." He acted like he never said he couldn't and just went on. I thought, well at least apologize and don't get snippy with me buddy, you were the one was wrong.

I booked online, but fixed things over the phone.

Ya, the first "gentleman" I talked to said my flight was over $500, and I was like suuuure buddy! Then I was told my flight was full, which it certainly wasn't since I was looking at the seating plan which was like 75% empty.

I would have preferred to use JetBlue or Song, but I got nervous and liked the AA times (and not having to go to JFK) was a big plus.
