AA's temporary change fee policy for new bookings
 

Just got info from AA obviously trying to bolster bookings in the current uneasy travel landscape . . . If bookings continue to tank I'm sure there will be more to come . . .

Updated March 1, 2020

If you purchased your tickets directly from American Airlines, you may change your flight once without paying a change fee if the change is made at least 14 days in advance of your outbound travel date. Tickets must be purchased between March 1, 2020 at 4:30pm CST and March 16, 2020 at 11:59pm CST for travel between March 1, 2020 and January 26, 2021.

Exception policy

• We will waive the change fee only for tickets purchased between March 1, 2020 and March 16, 2020, with original travel between March 1, 2020 and January 26, 2021.
• Tickets must be changed at least 14 days prior to the departure of your original flight.
• New travel must be completed within one year of original ticket issue date.
• Any difference in fare will apply.
• Change your trip online or by calling Reservations.
