I have been checking a SW flight coming up for weeks. It kept going from $349 to $399 - for just one way. All of the Saturday/Sunday flight were crazy like that. This morning it was $139!!! Check your SW flights. Saved over 15,000 pts. Yay!

Thank you! I checked our kids' various flights for our trip next week----one dd's flight back to school went down more than 4000 RR so those points are back in my account Her flight down is sold out for WGA. For the other three, the flight down is the same price and the flight back home is +10000 RR each

Thank you! I only save 3,500 points total but every little point helps.

Saved 1500 RR pts on DH's May flight and $30 credit on mine which I should be able to use in October. That is assuming we will both be traveling in May! (fingers crossed)

Our trip to China (Beijing & Shanghai) that was booked for October of this year is now cancelled and can be rescheduled up for 24 months from original departure date. So looks like we won’t be doing China until sometime in 2022. Bummer but of course we’d rather be safe than sorry! I’m also glad that the uncertainty is over. Next will be to try and deal with AA on our positioning flights to NY. They were booked on points as web special awards, so I’m pretty skeptical that they’ll make any accommodation. But If anyone got through to them, please share your experience!
Guess we’re gonna stick to domestic only travel this year also, so we’re thinking of heading to the Keys instead.

You just have to pay a fee to reinstate your miles. You can't change the dates on web specials like you can with AA saver, but you can pay the fee to get your miles back. I called last week there was no hold time.

That is fantastic!!! I have been checking mine but I was lucky enough to get great prices already and I would be shocked if they went any lower. The lowest I have ever gotten from our airport is $89 and for this trip I got $99 and $109 each way.

Thanks for posting. I had checked yesterday and got a few points back. Checked again today and I’m up 20,000 points!

@Lain - look what I just found on my Amex Rose Gold, Amex Brilliant and AMEX Bonvoy. I guess I'll take $20 but I did look on my Biz as well as AU cards to see if I could split payment and get another $5 plus but the offer wasn't on the Biz or the AU card.

AA is waiving change fees for tickets purchased March 5 to March 31. It seems that they are trying to entice people to travel? I don’t see any info on waived fees for tickets purchased before that. We are scheduled to fly to NYC in mid-April for my kids first visit. I think I will wait until about 2 weeks before to make a decision. I’m having a difficult time finding the fees for a change to a web saver ticket booked with miles - is it $150 /ticket to change ($900 total) or $150 for the first plus $25 for each additional ($275) to reinstate since what I would do is just change the dates not the departure or arrival airport?
My dad is immunocompromised. He absolutely doesn’t worry - he plans to go ahead with his trip to Romania in May but I feel right now, I should be cautious for both of us. We are living with my parents while we do an addition to our house.

1) Yes. If you've already booked your ticket you're of little interest to them, they know they'll at least get to charge you the cancellation/change fee.

2) From the website here is the blurb on Web Special awards. Sounds like you cannot change it. Only cancel and reinstate, if they were all booked with miles from AA account looks like you're looking at $150+$25 situation (see the section on reinstatement)...

Web Special awards
Available exclusively on aa.com, Web Special awards may be offered on select flights and dates for fewer miles than either the AAnytime or MileSAAver award level. Mileage levels vary by date and flight. When available, you’ll see the applicable award level while booking your trip.
Tickets that include a Web Special award don’t allow changes, and – while you can cancel and reinstate your miles – fees may apply. Reinstatement fees are waived for Executive Platinum members.​

Princess updated their policies a bit so anyone with upcoming Princess bookings in the next couple months should check on them (they vary depending on your date of departure and really only apply to departures in the next couple months) ...but they are laughable in comparison to RCCL...

ETA: especially considering Princess is getting all the bad publicity...

Getting info from Carnival, Royal, and Disney Cruise Line on many temporary change and cancellation policy changes going into effect today.

None of my flights have gone down - Orlando or Seattle. I'm interested to see pricing on the SW release next week.

I feel like RCCL got this right by taking all guesswork out and doing a blanket policy for all ships and itineraries within a date range.

I hope NCL does the same, would ease my concerns!!!

 

[elgerber]

Questions for those that have booked Disney hotels on AA Vacations. I assume you get a confirmation number that you can add to MDE? Throw away rental car is still ok??

Yeah... Disney is taking a similar approach but less generous. All sailings until 5/31 can cancel up until the day before departure for 100% back as a cruise credit valid for 12 months from original sail date.

Keep an eye out. The rest of the majors have moved today.

If they do, I need to move fast on booking something! I know what week we want to go, but haven't decided which cruise for sure. Looking at one of the Bermuda cruises on NCL. They are cheaper than I've ever seen them. If they put a similar policy into place, I'd imagine they will also raise the prices a bit, but it would be worth it for me.
