Yvonne, yup that was a HUGE bummer. I was prepared to go to battle and use up all my international minutes - then I looked at their schedule. The latest flight out was that 12:30 flight. And, to throw salt into the wound, they changed the time of my flight to SFO from 7:00pm to 8:00pm. Now, not only do I have to use up valuable morning time (I usually swim, finish packing and bring my house stuff to storage AND go out for breakfast) BUT I have an extra hour layover in that skanky airport. Thank god for the Admirals Club and their free effin wifi. Now, there is a 4:30 flight to SFO but one never knows what's going to happen at Customs in Miami - so I opted for the free WiFi and pretzels.

Just a note to folks flying on American during their "hard times" (break out the tiniest violin, will ya?) - if you are planning on using frequent flyer miles be prepared for the royal screwing. AA always had the most liberal policies and lowest mileage counts for using miles - also the most seats and least blackout dates. Different story now, I'll bet on that. Expect way fewer mileage seats, especially in First and Business to be available. Personally, when I book for next winter I'm going to be doing four months out now as opposed to three (last year) or two (the year before).
