Oneworld Classic Flight Reward Discussion - The Definitive Thread

Thank you for your quick response.

Well through the AA app there is an option for premium economy travel to replace my existing SFO-LIS. But I assumed if I chose to change as opposed to AA or Qantas themselves it is would invalidate the previous ticketing.

AA’s systems are likely looking at the immediate solution, as I mentioned above.

The app offering an alternative is fine, but you need to make sure the rest of the ticket stays in tact and has been reissued correctly.

You can do this after accepting the new flight, at the airport if you have time (and the airline has time given their potential workload at the moment) and certainly on arrival at LIS.

Once the flight is replaced you can always check with an airport agent for a business class seat. however, if you can find yourself an alternative business class seat now, no harm in contacting AA to see if they can get you on it. Or again at the airport.

Although I suspect once you accept the flight, the ticket will now show premium economy, so it might be hard to change back.

Depends how urgently you need to be in LIS, and it’s only a short flight. premium economy might be as good as it gets.
